Best Lighting Experts Ever!!

GotLight took care of all of our lighting and draping needs at our wedding! It was absolutely beautiful! They were able to customize each moment from our entrance, to the speeches and partying to be different in their own right. It was amazing!!

I got quotes from a lot of lighting companies for my wedding at the Flood Mansion in SF. Once I received the quote from Got Light there was no question I was definitely going with this vendor, so much more profession and very competitive. Every step of the way Kristina made the process easy. She is a class act!

The rain poured relentlessly, but with Got Light's artistry, our guests basked in a warm, fun, and artsy glow throughout our perfect wedding day.

Our first meeting began with lots of fun, curious questions about our overall design and decor, then they set out to create a lighting design package to enhance every single element. As a DIY bride, I loved their immediate responsiveness to my every burning question and how they worked in tandem with my other vendors to ensure a seamless event from beginning to end. They even checked in behind the scenes with my venue and DJ to assure that all technical issues were understood and addressed in advance.

On our wedding day, their team quickly set up, turned, and broke down behind the scenes to stage the most gorgeous lighting my venue has likely ever experienced. Honestly, I didn't even see any of this happening, but clearly it did since everything was lit gorgeously and my venue even called to thank us for leaving the building swept and in perfect condition after we high-tailed it out of there for the honeymoon suite.

During our daytime ceremony, they lit the perimeter of the East Wing room in a soft glow. It was from this light that I noticed the love and emotion dancing in my new husband's eyes as he stood next to me throughout the ceremony, and still see it today in our photos and video. Now, that's probably not listed in their range of services, but it's a great example of how Got Light's artistry takes everything in your wedding to a whole new, unexpected level.

Got Light was easy to work with and provided us with a lot of great ideas (especially because they had worked with our venue before!). They showed us different options to stay within our budget and still get the beautiful ambiance we wanted. I would definitely recommend working with them!

My Caterer used this lighting company for their lighting and electrical services. They had to do a lot of coordination with the rock band I hired to be sure all of the outlets worked and their laser light show would work with Got Light's up lighting. The rooms looked beautiful. We had the event at the Flood Mansion and everything went well.

People often forget about lighting but lighting makes a HUGE impact. Because we did our own flowers, we spent what we would have on flowers to do lighting. Irja Tannlund was extremely easy to work with, understood the look of our wedding and executed it beautifully. We lit the back wall of the Golden Gate Club with a forest scene and people couldn’t stop talking about it. We kept it simple with amber uplighting, pinlighting on the cupcakes and the backsplash on the wall.

My wife and I hired Got Light to provide the lighting services for our wedding which we held as the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. They are the only approved lighting vendor for this venue which made things easy since we didn’t have to choose from multiple vendors. We were surprised to find out that the basic package for Got Light does not provide that much lighting so we added in the specialty item of the bistro lighting as well as some of their “pacific globes” which looked beautiful in the Orchid Pavilion. Kristina was our contact for the lighting and she was very kind, professional, and able to provide us with sound/useful advice as we decided on our final lighting arrangement. It’s challenging to comment on how fair the pricing was as we did not have the option to look at other vendors, but their services are certainly not cheap. However, you are paying a premium for high quality, professional services and we were very satisfied with the job they did for our wedding.

Got Light was pleasant to work with. They have a great assortment and this was the one company I could find that had lights I was looking for (mason jar hanging lights). They were a bit difficult in getting started with them only because several people were emailing and I never knew quite who I was supposed to be working with. They collaborated as a team in the end and everything worked out great.
