Bearfly Above and Beyond

Bill and his team did a fantastic job with lighting design and operation at our wedding. It was beautiful, cohesive, and absolutely elevated our reception and afterparty. Bill stayed with us as lighting tech throughout the night. He was professional and a pleasure to work with. An incredible value and truly felt like he pushed the event beyond our expectations.

Thank you John and team!!

We absolutely loved working with John and the Bearfly team. They brought our wedding day vision to life through an epic disco ball and LED installation, and were the kindest people to interact with all day. Could not appreciate them more, so happy to have them on our wedding vendor team!

A pleasure to work with!

Bearfly was wonderful to work with for our wedding weekend! They were so warm and friendly, listened to what we were thinking/wanted for the wedding, and collaborated with us to come up with the perfect lighting/decor. They strung up string lights outside, did lighting for the band stage, bar, etc, installed the coolest lanterns and moving disco ball over our dance floor, and projected an awesome floral pattern onto a decorative wall, which all helped bring the vibe of the night and the decor together. Highly recommend working with Bearfly!

As a wedding planner I have been working with John for years and have had nothing but 100% positive experiences with him. I truly believe that is primary goal is always to make a couple happy and do everything he can to bring their vision to life while still being contentious of any restrictions they may have. I could not ask for more out of any vendor I work with, I highly recommend him all the time!
