Kenneth Made Our Disco Dreams Come True!

Kenneth helped make our wedding venue even more perfect than we could have imagined. He installed a disco ball for us on the deck of our wedding venue while everyone was inside eating so that it was a wow factor when we came back out for dancing. The mirrorball was stunning and brought exactly the fun, magical, groovy vibes we were going for—it truly lit up the night!

His communication leading up to the event was incredibly professional, and the install was so smooth.

Highly recommend Kenneth if you want your wedding to shine!

Beautiful lights for our venue!

Kenneth with Event Excellence Light and Sound strung beautiful Edison bulbs for us in the 128 South venue tent, which provided great lighting for our ceremony and for the post-reception dancing! He was actually able to set up our lights a day before, which was really unexpected! It was one less thing we needed to worry about on the day of our wedding. We would highly recommend hiring Event Excellence Light and Sound for all of your lighting needs. Kenneth was extremely professional and the value of his services exceeded our expectations!

Great draping

We got married inside at Bakery 105 and wanted draping during the ceremony. The draping Event Excellence provided really elevated the look of the room. Kenneth was also very prompt at responding.

Beautiful lights and draping

We used event excellence for our wedding in April at the Brooklyn Arts Center church. The draping on the windows turned out beautiful and we had Edison bulbs hanging across the entire inside venue that looked amazing especially in the evening when the lights were turned down! We also used their Edison board to hang a gorgeous floral installation on the large window that was perfect!

The perfect lighting

Event excellence did an excellent job with the out door lighting that we needed for our wedding. We decided to add some additional lighting so that guests could enjoy outside Wrightsville manor and continue playing the yard games we brought for cocktail hour.

Kenneth was affordable and a prompt responder.

Easy solution for event lighting

We worked with Event Excellence to add market lights to the outdoor deck at our wedding venue (The River Room in downtown Wilmington) and are so glad we did. It was an easy and affordable process and added so much to the space!

Loved the look!

We loved the pipe and drape we got from Event Excellence! It looked amazing in the space. The team was very responsive and helpful in the planning process. They knew the venue and were able to recommend the best set up for the space. Would recommend!

Event Excellence is the best

I didn't really think about lighting at all up until 2 weeks before my wedding. I was recommended to Event Excellence by my planner Jana from Design a Dream and got the lights I needed quickly. The price was great and they helped make my dream wedding look even better!! I definitely recommend them for any of your lighting needs!!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Michael, with Event Excellence, on a few weddings now and he's amazing! His work is always gorgeous and he is always on his game! Design A Dream Events would highly recommend Event Excellence to any client looking for lighting & sound for their event!

Events at Watermark Marina Events at Watermark Marina Park & Outdoor Weddings

We were excited to meet Event Excellence Light and Sound when they came to Wilmington. He has equipment and lighting that is different from everyone else. When he lights up our 480' pier with cordless lights that change color....it's a game changer! He's taken lighting to another level, and we are happy to recommend him. We're also looking forward to using his other equipment on another upcoming project. Michael is quick, easy and professional. His work is speaking volumes! Great Pro to know!

Michael and his team are very professional and talented. They are great to work with and my clients love them. I love seeing the ending result once lighting and drapery are added to an event. Looking forward to many more collaborations in the future.
