    Uplighting and Draping!

    CJC did our uplighting for the wedding and it was great. They recommended a rose gold color for my candle lit feel and it was perfect. They also did my draping which came out gorgeous. Working with Jim was great, he is responsive and kind!

    Great work!

    Jim at CJC Lighting was an absolute pleasure to work with: experienced, a clear communicator, and able to guide us towards what we really wanted. He came recommended by our rental company (Michaels) and did not disappoint, with beautiful bistro lights both in the tent and on poles to create an additional auxiliary gathering space. When a miscommunication on lighting placement happened, he came out on a Sunday morning to fix it, no questions asked. Flexible, responsive, and high quality service. Thank you, Jim!

    CJC Lighting knows what they're doing!

    Jim and his team provide the perfect lighting atmosphere for our wedding celebration. He took the time to meet us at our venue to not only understand what we wanted but also how to best setup in the space provided. In our communications he was always quick to reply and made the whole process super easy.

    Truly Transformed Our Venue!

    Jim, Lisa and the rest of the CJC team are rock stars! We had our wedding reception under the tent at Oakholm Farms Estate. We wanted to transform the tent top so that it didn't feel like a "tent" anymore. We hired CJC to hang bistro lights and Mexican banners back and forth which truly transformed the atmosphere within the tent! CJC was wonderful to communicate with and their staff arrived on time for install and take down. If you're looking for lighting to transform your venue, CJC is a must have vendor!

    Incredible service!

    When I approached Jim with my vision of having a “night under the stars,” he had a confident, can-do attitude. He brought to my attention nuances of the venue that I had never noticed may need extra lighting but was never pushy with suggestions. He and his team worked tirelessly in the days leading up to the event and transformed our reception area into a truly magical place. His communication, professionalism, knowledge and mastery of his craft, were truly remarkable. I strongly encourage anyone interested in adding a little flare to their event to consider hiring Jim.

    Beautiful lighting, very easy to work with, responive

    Jim was a preferred vendor for our venue (Elm Bank) and he worked with us diligently to find a beautiful, vibe-encompassing lighting solution. He installed a beautiful chandelier that we had our first dance under that will look incredible in pictures and video and made our reception seem like a fairy tale. His uplighting also added vibe to the music that made the party portion incredible. He worked with our budget and we’d recommend working with CJC for your wedding lighting needs.

    Great work!

    We have nothing but good things to say about Jim and his team at CJC Lighting. He was one of the last vendors we booked, as we weren't sure we needed lighting. Jim was super helpful, very prompt with his communication and super willing to assist us with the entire lighting project. We planned out wedding from out of state, and Jim was willing to meet with our florist/planner at the venue site to walk through design and give his suggestions for enhancement. Jim was very respectful of our budget and made all our lighting needs come true. The room looked absolutely fantastic and was super understated, which is exactly what we wanted. Jim didn't push extra things on us, like some other vendors we contacted. He was fair and was extremely pleasant to work with!!

    CJC is INCREDIBLE at what they do!

    Jim and the CJC team are amazing and are so good at what they do!! Jim was so patient with me and so easy to work with. He went above and beyond for us and truly exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend you have CJC for any of your lighting and draping needs. He helped us transform our ceremony and reception area to look so incredible!

    I'd definitely recommend CJC Lighting! Jim Powers was a pleasure to work with from to start to end. It was really helpful to have a vendor that I didn't have to worry about at all. Jim was fair with prices and had great ideas about finding the right lighting for our wedding venue. The lighting was beautiful and well worth the money!

    CJC lighting nailed it. We had specific up lighting colors for the ceremony portion, dinning portion and specific lighting for the missing soldiers table. We chose colors that worked with the wedding colors and it was perfectly done. The color transitions were seamless throughout. The colors were subtle but bold enough to make some of our guests say "what just happened, its a different color now". Big thank you to CJC lighting of Springfield Ma. We certainly recommend CJC for your event lighting needs.

    Thank You,
    Kevin & Shannon R.

    It was so easy to work with Jim & his team for our July 1st wedding. They knew the venue very well and offer lots of suggestions for simple summery lighting. We worked together to select various uplighting for the duration of the night to help set the tone from seating to party atmosphere. Through friends photos it is easy to see how light can enrapture a party and push it into another detention. We event shared the same design with the event from the night before to cut down on a bit of cost. Thank you to the whole CJC lighting team for lighting the day for our friend and family to celebrate.

    We weren't sure what we wanted to do for lighting and Jim was very helpful! We figured out a simple, classic look that was beautiful. It was also nice to have an onsite technician (included in the costs) who stayed to adjust the lighting into the evening/night.

    Jim did a fantastic job with the lighting for our wedding at the Webb Barn. The bistro lights were set up beautifully, and complemented the barn and the patio perfectly! He was really friendly and helpful throughout the entire planning process. We are so happy we got to work with Jim, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for quality and well designed lighting services!

    The lighting created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding at Mill 1 in Holyoke. We also rented lanterns to hang from the center of the dance floor. Jim was wonderful in bringing our vision to life!

    CJC Event Lighting did an amazing job with the all the lighting at our wedding this past weekend! They did a fantastic job draping the LJI pergola and the chandelier was stunning! Not only did they make our ceremony area gorgeous but the uplighting in the reception space brought all the décor together. We were literally speechless when we walked into the room. Not only was the space beautiful but Jim was so accommodating and professional throughout the entire process! We highly recommend them for all your lighting needs!!

    CJC truly earns their 5 stars. Our wedding was at the Gardens of Elm Bank and CJC installed the lighting for the carriage house and tent. We had uplights, string lights, and draped sheer fabric on the ceiling. We got quotes from 2 other Boston area lighting vendors and CJC's price was the best by far. One vendor tried to tell us that other lighting companies reused fabric which could look dirty or tattered, which was not at all the case with the voile from CJC. Everything was beautiful and they even put up a curtained screen to hide the kitchen door area. Jim was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Overall, he is just an honest and nice person. There was another wedding the day after ours, and he was able to help us accomodate both weddings. We could not recommend him more!

    We hired CJC Lighting to light our wedding in January at the Branford House in Connecticut. The spotlighting, the lighted and the outdoor lighting made our event truly magical. Lighting is so important to setting a scene, and we truly had a setting of elegance in the Branford Castle. I would highly recommend this vendor.

    CJC Lighting and their delightful team were a pleasure to work with. The high level of customer service and attention to detail made our farm wedding magical.

    They offered exactly what they promised, and even more! Their generosity and love for their craft shined through in every light they placed.

    CJC went above and beyond with every detail, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the day. I recommend them with flying colors!

    We had our Wedding at the Society Room September 5,2015. CJC event lighting provided spectacular ambiance which added to our magical, fairytale setting. We especially loved our initials in lights on the dance floor! Our guests continued to comment how beautiful and relaxing the lighting was. It simply added that extra something to our wedding! We highly reccomend Jim and his team for any event that needs that special touch! Thanks for the great job! Kurtis and Brianna Brown

    Cjc lighting was awesome! Jim truly turned our reception from ordinary to extraordinary! without the lighting, the venue, although beautiful, looked the same as anyone else's wedding! We used colored uplighting, shapes on the ceiling and words on the wall. We had a new years eve wedding and he was able to change the colors, flash the lights, and add happy new years to the wall at midnight! This made the new years party feel a reality!

    We ended up with CJC by accident -- another vendor canceled -- and we couldn't have been happier that we did! From beginning to end, these guys were great. Responsive, jumping on the phone to talk through details. Because we lived far away from our venue, we weren't able to walk through the space with them, and still they created an absolutely spectacular lighting scheme. Our event moved through four rooms of a museum, and CJC lit every one in a spectacular, unique way. Our guests were blown away as they moved from the ceremony, to cocktails to dinner to dancing. The lighting perfectly set the mood, and really helped make our wedding something special. I absolutely recommend these guys! I would use them again in a heartbeat.

    The uplighting that CJC did for our wedding really made the reception so beautiful. Jim listened to all my requests and delivered exactly what I wanted. The bogo came out amazing too. The uplighing was truly the icing on the cake. It takes a wedding from ordinary to extraordinary.

    There are not enough adjectives to express how happy we were with our lights. I had never seen up-lighting but my wife really wanted to have it at the wedding. it was worth every penny we paid and it did not break the budget. Jim, who is the owner, was present at our wedding and did the lights himself. they made the reception beyond beautiful. He is also a Log Cabin preferred vendor and with good reason!

    Jim from CJC was great! He provided lighting for our wedding reception. He was quickly responded to all correspondence prior to the wedding and on the day, he was set up early and stayed for the entire event. Everything was set up exactly as we had discussed, and it looked amazing! It really enhanced the look of the whole event. Jim was great to work with and we couldn\'t have been happier with the result!\r\n

    From the first contact with Jim at CJC Events, we knew he was the right choice for us. We needed our "average" looking wedding hall transformed into something a little more classy. Jim took the time to make advanced trips to the resort months before the event in order to make sure he understood our vision. He also put up with countless emails from me to make sure every detail was covered. From day 1 we had complete confidence in Jim and his team. On the day of the wedding he was there for the entire event and transformed an ordinary looking room into something magical. Our guests were actually coming up to us and complimenting us on the lighting. If you're in the New England area and looking to transform a room into something beautiful, CJC lighting is your place.

    I am so happy with my experience with CJC. My husband and I wanted subtle lighting for our wedding - nothing over the top - and what CJC did was so beautiful. It really enhanced the space without calling attention to itself. Very, very happy with my experience.

    Gorgeous Ambience

    Jim and co. did such a great job lighting our evening wedding in October 2023 at the Boston Public Library. The lighting in the courtyard for the ceremony, Bates Hall for dinner, and the Abbey Room for dancing really helped pull the whole vision together. Stunning. Definitely recommend!
