    I have worked with Darren and his team several times over the past year for brides celebrating their special day. Recently I hired Darren to provide lighting service for my daughters Super Sweet 16 Birthday Celebration, and as always Darren was flawless in his lighting set up services. The teens and our friends and family were amazed at the party set up and everyone had a great time. Darren is my go to person for all things lighting and I appreciate his professional demeanor, kind spirit and affordable pricing in helping clients determine what they will need in order to make their event one to remember. Thanks Darren. Many blessing to you and you great company!

    A great investment for your lighting and draping needs!

    27 Studios took what was already a cool industrial venue and used lighting and draping to elevate the space with a romantic party vibe. We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted to ask for, but Darren’s familiarity with the American Visionary Art Museum’s various event spaces meant he was able to recommend ideas that helped make our wedding so beautiful. Working with him was such a breeze, and we’d highly recommend 27 Studios for anyone planning a wedding in the Baltimore area!

    27 Studios will light the wedding of your dreams!

    I don't know too much about lighting so I knew I had to hire an absolute rockstar to make sure our wedding was well lit. We got married in a museum so it was critical that the lighting was good enough to make it look like a party as opposed to just a bunch of exhibits. We also had outdoor space that we wanted people to be able to enjoy. 27 Studios came up with a whole plan and the final product was so amazingly fantastic. Absolutely recommend them!

    Great Lighting for Weddings!

    Darren and his team transformed our wedding venue with bistro lights and up lighting to highlight the beautiful brick walls. It's amazing what a little lighting can do to really make a space look elegant. Darren and his team made everything look great before we even arrived. If you're looking for lighting needs, 27 Studios is affordable and easy to work with!

    27 Studios + The Assembly Room = A BEAUTIFUL wedding! So gorgeous.

    When we booked The Assembly Room, the manager pointed us to 27 Studios for string lighting and draping. We loved TAR so much as-is, and the work that 27 Studios did just brought it to the next level. The space was absolutely breathtaking. We did elevated string lights in the large first floor room, string lights in the smaller first floor room, and draping around the ceremony space. We are overjoyed with how it turned out, and the photos look absolutely incredible. Our guests felt like they were in this magical space with the string lights hanging over them during the ceremony, we received so many compliments! 27 studios is so easy to work with, really great at what they do, and they will not disappoint!

    An Array of Services

    Darren and his team do a great job at the services that they provide. I hired them for drapery, uplighting, custom dance floor vinyl and dry ice for my first dance. Everything came out beautiful! Definitely recommend!

    Made my plain venue look beautiful!

    The guys at 27Studios made my plain and boring venue truly shine and look very high end! They did all the pipe and drape for the room and words cannot describe how beautiful it made the room look. Very professional and worth every penny!

    If you need lightning or pipe & drape, look no further.

    I had a COVID wedding, originally planned for April 2020, then pushed to September 2020, then turned into a vow renewal reception in April 2021. Throughout changing the plan due to COVID, 27Studios was an incredible vendor. They were so flexible, no questions asked, that I think I cried out of joy each time they responded to my emails (and they are super responsive!). We originally had planned to use their services to provide us with pipe and drape, but that was no longer needed when our plans changed. Instead, they easily allowed us to switch that plan to a waterfall lighting plan above our dance floor - incredible!! I caught all my guests staring at the ceiling as if we had the stars indoors for our party (we held our event at Haven Street Ballroom). I was also super busy throughout the day, and when I was able to check out the progress of the space being decorated, I noticed the uplights we rented from them were perfectly placed - without direction from me. I was super pleased by 27Studio's work. Take a look at any picture of "waterfall lights" on instagram or pinterest, and you'll see what it looked like - but mine was the PERFECT version of what you find.

    Seriously, why are you even looking elsewhere? Hire 27Studios! Their prices are incredibly - INCREDIBLY - reasonable and fair. Darren and Damian are awesome professionals in the industry, they kept me calm with their responsiveness, always answered my questions, carefully worked with me on a proposal (and another proposal, and another proposal) and if I could do it all again they would 1000% be hired. Note: my image is NOT a professional photo, and it does not do the actual waterfall light experience justice.

    Twinkling Reception

    27 studios helped us to create a twinkling wonderland of a dance floor with rainfall lights that delighted everyone. They also helped with uplighting around the reception space, and curtains to help separate the many open spaces of The Assembly Room. It helped us create the perfect ambiance.

    They are amazing

    They were so easy to work with and amazing at their job! They listened to exactly what we wanted and created it beautifully! They were easy to work with and very responsive. Even gave some suggestions with their experience and expertise. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their venue re created into a dream reality!

    Amazing work and super easy to work with!

    From start to finish, the team at 27 Studios was one of the most painless vendors I had the pleasure to work with. Darren, Damian, and Devonte did a wonderful job draping the ceiling at our venue and it made all the difference. Not only that but they were able to plan and coordinate exactly what I wanted at a fair price and without needing much from me! I can't recommend them more- their work made a huge difference and it was worth every single penny.

    Awesome vendor for lighting & draping

    27 Studios was recommended by our venue for our lighting/draping needs and we could not be happier with the decision to hire them! We worked with Damian from start to finish and he was amazing. After initially speaking with him, we met at the venue to work through the space and what we wanted. I showed him some pictures of the styles I liked & also talked about what I generally liked/didn't like for the space. I was worried about overwhelming or even underwhelming the space with my ideas, but Damian made me feel so comfortable and I knew that the space would look amazing. Ultimately we went with uplighting to highlight the natural brick & a combination of draping and twinkle lights to accent the ceiling cutout. We could not have been happier with the outcome!

    Awesome Lighting!

    We used 27 Studios for our wedding on June 8th. Damian (creative director) was extremely easy to work with. He responded promptly, made payment online easy, and offered suggestions when needed. The team set-up the lighting exactly as we discussed and our guests commented on how beautifully it accentuated our venue space. The bistro lighting was the perfect addition to our wedding. We highly recommend contacting 27 Studios if you are interested in lighting for your big event!

    Great Job Done by Damian and his team

    Damian and his team did a wonderful job setting up cafe lighting and uplighting at my reception venue. I was looking for the right hue of white uplighting that doesn't look purple or blue- which is harder than you think! Damian knew exactly what I was going for and he made the venue come alive. All our guests were telling me how beautiful the space was and I attribute a large part of that to 27 Studios. Lighting does matter!

    Beautiful Lighting

    I contacted 27 Studios a few weeks before my wedding to provide uplighting around the perimeter of the reception space and pinspotting on the wedding cake. Despite the quick turnaround, Darius was super accommodating, incredibly responsive, and competitive with his rates. He was punctual and timely with setup and breakdown, and showed great skill in placement and design. His lighting arrangement helped the space feel warm and inviting, fun and whimsical. I appreciate Darius’ professionalism and willingness to drive down to Richmond to work with a venue not previously in his rolodex. I recommend his services for anyone looking for a lighting and AV professional in the DMV area.
