Amazing experience

Brian was absolutely incredible and truly helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable. He designed a perfect backyard tent and lighting setup in a space that was not intended to be an event space. We worked together on the vision - he had great ideas, was super accommodating to my ideas, and ultimately came up with a perfect way to transform the backyard into a welcome party and after party venue space from dusk until late in the night. It completely transformed the space and made it feel elevated, warm, and inviting. The barrel high-tops were such a hit; guests congregated around the high-tops all night long. I honestly can’t imagine how our welcome party or after party would have felt without his work.

Throughout this whole process, Brian was amazing to work with. He patiently answered my endless emails and texts, was flexible with our evolving ideas and budget, and made everything feel easy. He even pivoted week-of when we saw rain in the forecast and it was clear his goal was to make sure we had the best weekend. Seeing him arrive on the day was such a calming moment - we knew everything was in great hands and didn’t have to worry about a thing.

We’re so grateful for everything Brian did and will absolutely be recommending him to anyone looking for event lighting. He made the entire weekend look and feel amazing. Thank you Brian!!

Fantastic lighting and greatservice!

I am a long time client of Superlative Events. Brian has the best uplighting I have ever used. My personal lights went up in a garage fire. When I found Superlative Events, I never looked back. He ships them to me and they're always on time and come with a return label. The price is affordable. I can adjust the lighting to any shade of any color unlike other up lights that are either one color or another. There is a color wheel on the remote that you can finesse the shade of the color. And then with a couple of taps of the remote, then you can make them into dance floor lighting. They are superb and Brian is fabulous to work with and a very nice man. I highly recommend this company. I have been using them for numerous years now. I do events every weekend and so I have a lot of opportunity to work with these lights and I'm always receiving compliments at how wonderful the room looks and the dance floor after dinner dancing looks!

Excellent value & service!

Brian @ 'Superlative Events' was OUTSTANDING! Great communications with me and the venue owner/operators. The lights added texture and a measure of safety for the low-vision guests at my daughter's wedding. High recommend this company for providing 'smart' lighting for your event! -Lou M. Pittsburgh, PA

GoBo Sign for my wedding

I am extremely happy that I found this company for my wedding! They were very affordable, well within my budget, and the sign was beautiful!🥰My wedding coordinator set this up for me. When my wedding was over, it was delivered to my condo. All I had to do was return the equipment to UPS. Well, worth the time and effort. Thank you so much Superlative Events! You are the bomb!!

Superlative Events is superlative!

Superlative Events is superlative!

My name is Carol Moore and I am the owner of A Starry Night Music in New York City. I always use Brian King and Superlative Events for any of my lighting needs. His Custom-made lighting is lightweight, easy to transport, has a remote control that changes the color to the very shade you want. Others are just yellow pink blue. His lights can be finessed to any shade of any color. And then with the touch of a button can be turned onto wonderful festive dance floor lighting. Is the only one I use and the other one I recommend!

Knowledgeable and Efficient Service!

Superlative Events saved our preschool auction! We had been planning to hold it outside for months, and the weather took a turn for the worse last-minute. Superlative Events came through with two perfectly-sized tents once we told them what we were looking for. Brian was knowledgeable about what size tents we would need and honest about what would work best for our needs. They worked with us on extremely short notice and were even able to deliver the tents to make it easier on us. They communicated quickly and effectively and did not rush us in returning the equipment. The tents looked beautiful and allowed us to hold the auction we had worked so hard on outside! Would highly recommend Superlative Events for their efficiency and high-quality equipment!

The best! Absolutely fantastic every time!!

These are the best uplights ever! I am based out of New York City. I have rented from Superlative Events numerous times over the last couple of years. They are lightweight, remote controlled, super easy to place in the room. What I love most besides the weightlessness of these units is the fact that you can adjust the ambient room lighting to perfection! I used to own American DJ lights and they had 20 something blue shades but nothing that resembled beautiful candlelight or soft salmon color. It was either yellow or red. These are completely controllable so you can match the room to perfection with not just the color but the tone and shade of the color. And then with the touch of the remote control during dancing you can put it into numerous modes to cycle through a variety of colors to give a real pop to the Dancefloor. They’re fantastic. Also the delivery is always to perfection. Brian always makes sure that the lights arrive well ahead of the event day. The best!

Wonderful Company to work with

I worked with Superlative Events for a glow party. We couldn't decide on what size lights and which space to utilize. They were super helpful with helping me figure out how to have an amazing party affordably. I highly recommend this company. The lights arrived in plenty of time, and the return process was easy after we finisehd.

Phenomenal Experience!

Brian went above and beyond to get our company's holiday light display turned around on an extremely tight timeline. He navigated significant hurdles created by the electrical setup of the building, and was responsive around the clock. Our display looked amazing - we can't recommend Brian and Superlative highly enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
