I first worked with Amil for my daughter’s graduation party about 7 years ago. So when my daughter got engaged I knew I wanted to work with him again for her wedding. Rayne Events provided lighting, drapes, audio and visual for my daughter’s wedding. They provided the DJ booth that included a monogram on the front of the booth and the seating for the sweetheart table. Amil and his team did an incredible job. The end result was fabulous. They completely transformed the ballroom with the drapes. The drapes were fantastic!!!! Amil is always very professional and a pleasure to work with. He was so accommodating with any questions that I had and changes that I wanted. Amil always answered me right away and was a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Every aspect of what he did was outstanding and the room was beyond my expectations. I received so many compliments. I highly recommend Rayne Events!!! Use them for your next event. You will be so grateful that you did!!!!!!

They did such a great job at my event I would definitely refer my friends and family
Thank you for making my day wonderful

I've worked with Showtime Events and Amil before and he didn't disappoint. Our guests absolutely LOVED the lounge area for our wedding. It was very fitting for our cocktail reception. The set-up was exactly what I wanted based on discussions with Amil our vision for our cocktail reception at Newton White Mansion. Our floor plan was actually his idea based on what we wanted; he hit he nail on the head. I would definitely recommend Showtime Events to any future couple looking to personalize your wedding reception. You and your guests won't be disappointed. Thanks again Amil!

When we picked our venue we were in love with everything except the drab walls in the reception space. Lighting and draping were not an expense planned on when we got started with our wedding planning. After a few disheartening meetings I found Showtime on wedding wire, not only is their pricing some of the best around but the service and quality are great. We worked specifically with Amil and Tiffany, Tiffany was great coordinating and answered all of my emails and questions promptly. We met with Amil only once at the venue to take a look at some lighting, he was great, made recommendations and was patient with us as we decided what shade of lavender works best – I had no idea there were so many. The day of the crew was there to set up our ceremony lighting and then in the hour to change from ceremony to reception moved the lights, changed the colors and moved the drapes. I would highly recommend ShowTime to anyone in the DC area, especially working with Tiffany.

Showtime Events did an amazing job creating the look I wanted for my wedding reception! My goal was to turn the hotel ballroom into a nightclub and I was so impressed by the job they did. My guests were blown away and couldn't believe they were in a hotel when they entered the ballroom. Several of my guesst asked for his contact information for their upcoming events.

Their furniture is elegant, high quality, durable & clean (which is very important) and the draping was simply stunning! They have a very large inventory and their price was very reasonable. I also used them for uplighting, which totally set the mood. From my very first interaction with Amil, the owner, I was impressed. Even though he works very hard and stays busy, I was always able to connect with him or his assistant, whenever I needed anything or had a question.

I would definitely use Showtime Events again and recommend them to anyone looking for lighting & decor.

Showtime did a phenomenal job lighting our wedding! We had an outdoor reception in downtown DC and envisioned bistro lights twinkling overhead and just enough uplighting to bring the venue alive at night. Showtime hadn't done string lights like that before but they were game to give it a try--they also convinced us to add a custom gobo monogram to the package. They were wonderful to communicate with and consummate professionals throughout the process, not to mention very reasonably priced. The lighting we ended up with was perfect. It gave us atmosphere and a subtle wow-factor that was better than anything I could have dreamed up. Highly recommend working with them!

I would recommend Amil and his team to any of my friends. Amil was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and he was very flexible given our timing and budget constraints. We needed to pull together lighting, lounge furniture, and draping for a large venue for a wedding reception for about 110 people. We had about one month to plan everything, so thankfully Amil was able to pull everything off for us in that little time. We ran into some equipment problems - the draping was too heavy so we couldn't create the overhead draped look we wanted - but Amil was able to pull together a back-up plan at the last minute and make the space look pretty. We were delayed by about half an hour, so it was a bit awkward having guests come in while furniture and equipment was still lying on the dance floor, but the bar and food were flowing so I think people just shrugged it off. In hindsight, this was the preferred method, because Amil could have just scrapped the draping idea altogether, but he instead came up with an alternative way to decorate the space, which ended up fitting beautifully. Most importantly, he was very apologetic and he gave us a commensurate discount for the materiel costs and inconvenience. You really couldn't ask for a better vendor to work with. Things will go wrong on big events - that's expected. But you want someone honest, quick-thinking, and capable to handle those mishaps, and Amil is your man. He always kept his cool, was the consummate professional, and he was truly an honest broker. Really a gem in this line of business.

Very smooth from start to finish and always extremely helpful. On the day our of wedding, the staff were very efficient, setting up all of our lighting quickly and without any issues. The reception looked amazing and we would definitely recommend them.

I don't even know where to begin to describe how thankful I am to this company and Amil....they literally saved my wedding. I received a call on the Tuesday before my wedding from my venue (which was in the process of moving to a brand new location and was supposed to be finished in January) telling me that the venue would not be ready in time for my wedding and I couldn't have my reception there. They moved it to the hotel across the street. I was devastated. I went from this cool, hip venue space to a bland old hotel ballroom. Thankfully, my sister-in-law is an interior designer and knew how to liven the space up, starting with a phone call to Showtime Events. She called this company and spoke with Amil and told him my story...and she said he dropped everything to help her out in every way possible, despite the SUPER short notice (2 days) and despite having other events on the day of my wedding. She handled everything with Amil and she could not stop raving about how awesome he and his company was... they bent over backwards to make my reception space look PHENOMENAL. Offered to bring extra things, went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Amil, you saved my wedding. It looked so, so good.... amazing lighting, really cool lounge chairs and LED furniture... and then he was right there at the end of the reception clearing everything out.

I can't believe this company and Amil did this for some unknown bride. I was a wreck the entire week and you were the ones who made everything okay. I am forever grateful to you. Thank you so much.

I cannot thank you enough for helping for us with a wedding that far exceeded our expectations. I could not have dreamt a more beautiful wedding, with incredible lighting to help create such an elegant ambiance. Words truly cannot express how happy we were with your services! All of our family and friends are still talking about how elegant our venue space looked. Thanks again for making our day special and allowing our guests to enjoy themselves.
