    Kenneth Made Our Disco Dreams Come True!

    Kenneth helped make our wedding venue even more perfect than we could have imagined. He installed a disco ball for us on the deck of our wedding venue while everyone was inside eating so that it was a wow factor when we came back out for dancing. The mirrorball was stunning and brought exactly the fun, magical, groovy vibes we were going for—it truly lit up the night!

    His communication leading up to the event was incredibly professional, and the install was so smooth.

    Highly recommend Kenneth if you want your wedding to shine!

    Beautiful lights for our venue!

    Kenneth with Event Excellence Light and Sound strung beautiful Edison bulbs for us in the 128 South venue tent, which provided great lighting for our ceremony and for the post-reception dancing! He was actually able to set up our lights a day before, which was really unexpected! It was one less thing we needed to worry about on the day of our wedding. We would highly recommend hiring Event Excellence Light and Sound for all of your lighting needs. Kenneth was extremely professional and the value of his services exceeded our expectations!

    Great draping

    We got married inside at Bakery 105 and wanted draping during the ceremony. The draping Event Excellence provided really elevated the look of the room. Kenneth was also very prompt at responding.

    Beautiful lights and draping

    We used event excellence for our wedding in April at the Brooklyn Arts Center church. The draping on the windows turned out beautiful and we had Edison bulbs hanging across the entire inside venue that looked amazing especially in the evening when the lights were turned down! We also used their Edison board to hang a gorgeous floral installation on the large window that was perfect!

    The perfect lighting

    Event excellence did an excellent job with the out door lighting that we needed for our wedding. We decided to add some additional lighting so that guests could enjoy outside Wrightsville manor and continue playing the yard games we brought for cocktail hour.

    Kenneth was affordable and a prompt responder.

    Easy solution for event lighting

    We worked with Event Excellence to add market lights to the outdoor deck at our wedding venue (The River Room in downtown Wilmington) and are so glad we did. It was an easy and affordable process and added so much to the space!

    Loved the look!

    We loved the pipe and drape we got from Event Excellence! It looked amazing in the space. The team was very responsive and helpful in the planning process. They knew the venue and were able to recommend the best set up for the space. Would recommend!

    Event Excellence is the best

    I didn't really think about lighting at all up until 2 weeks before my wedding. I was recommended to Event Excellence by my planner Jana from Design a Dream and got the lights I needed quickly. The price was great and they helped make my dream wedding look even better!! I definitely recommend them for any of your lighting needs!!!

    Wonderful!

    Though I never had the privilege of meeting Michael in person, he did a phenomenal job on our wedding lighting and sound. Michael transformed the decking of our rental home on the coast into an absolute fairytale! It made our small, romantic wedding feel every more magical.
    Michael also was able to come to our aide at the last minute with sound equipment for our beach ceremony, he was awesome!

    Thank you, Michael, for helping make our day so perfect.

    My wedding planner, Jana Ingraham, helped me find this vendor. Michael was extremely quick getting a quote for me. We just wanted eight white lights/uplighting. Everything was set up perfectly by the time I got to the venue and it looked great.

    Michael at Event Excellence is awesome! He was super patient with me and was very accommodating with a few last minute changes we had in our lighting plan. He strung bistro lights inside a 40x60 tent for my wedding and it was so beautiful. He is super reasonably priced as well! I would definitely recommend Michael for any of your event lighting needs!

    Michael was really great to work with. Out of all of the vendors I had contacted he was the quickest to respond to my questions and offered the best prices and quality. He even set up our reception/party lights at the house we rented for our reception 2 days early and took them down 2 days after the event at no extra charge. He wanted us to be able to enjoy our lights to the fullest. And we did! He set up quickly and was super efficient and personable. I would definitely recommend hiring Event Excellence for any special occasion.

    Michael was super sweet and very personable! He executed my vision perfectly and exceeded all my expectations for our wedding lighting at Brooklyn Arts Center! We received so many compliments on the lighting and how dreamy it made our ceremony and reception! And best of all, Event Excellence is SUPER AFFORDABLE! Their quote was much less than other competitors! Best value for the price by far!

    Michael was so easy to work with and so nice! He did a great job with both sound and lighting at our ceremony and reception. He introduced himself during one of our first planning meetings at Landfall and we knew immediately we wanted to hire him. He was enthusiastic, eager to please and willing to try anything new. The lighting at our reception was beautiful and we can't thank him enough! We highly recommend him!!

    Michael was so amazing to work with throughout this process. He's thorough, responsive, creative, full of suggestions and ideas, and basically a complete pleasure to be with. Even in the days immediately before our wedding, we made a few additions to our lighting and event plan, and Michael accommodated everything we asked for at the last minute. We were so thrilled with the result. Our wedding reception looked beautiful. He really put my entire family at ease, and we couldn't recommend him more highly, both personally and professionally. I can't imagine a better resource. Thank you for everything!!

    Michael is extremely professional and quick to respond to any questions I had. His equipment is top of the line and his rates cannot be beat! He worked with me on drop off and pick up times for my backyard party. The lighting we had for our event was spectacular, the guests could not believe the trees were all lit in different colors!

    Michael from Event Excellence handled the lighting for our May 29th, 2016 wedding at the Country Club of Landfall. Michael did an absolutely fantastic job. The lighting was gorgeous. We had pin lighting on the cake to make it really standout and uplighting against the walls in the ballroom. The uplighting really added to the room and he could change the colors from neutral for dinner to pink for dancing right from his cellphone. Michael was really lovely to work with as well. When we were worried that our outdoor ceremony was going to be rained out he even offered to add lighting to the room we had as a backup plan. He really goes over and above for his customers and we could not recommend him enough!!

    Michael and Event Excellence were truly outstanding. They provided a great product/service that was turn-key and no issue was to be found. Michael does a great job finding out what we wanted and delivered hassle free. I highly recommend Event Excellence to anyone considering lighting for their upcoming wedding.

    Mike was incredible to work with at our wedding! All of the lighting was beautiful and perfectly fit the atmosphere we wanted. He was on top of everything - we even got a small rainstorm just after the ceremony, and he already had a backup plan in place in case we had to relocate inside. He was great at staying in contact and made sure he knew exactly what lighting styles we wanted. I would definitely recommend Event Excellence!!

    Mike was just amazing to work with!! I am the "do it yourself type", and he took all of the ideas and visions of a "scared soon-to-be bride" and not only made them a reality, but expounded upon them. He definitely gave a personal touch to my event. He treated me as if it was the only client he was working with. Mike even took the time to personally go to the venue (before ever meeting with me) to ensure he could give me the best and most personal consultation. I also enjoyed and truly appreciated his honesty. He could have made more of a "sale" than what he did. But he chose to tell me, that I did not need all of what I was talking about. That meant so much to me, since weddings are an expensive process and many are just in it for the money. He is a very caring and personable vendor. I have already recommended him to a friend, and if I ever need lighting for a party or anything else, I know who I will be calling. Event Excellence truly lived up to their name!

    Event Excellence is by far the most professional lighting company I have worked with. For my wedding night we used the Edison lighting and up-lighting for our reception. Mike was very flexible and timely. Great service! Highly recommend!

    Kenneth is great!

    Kenneth was very responsive to all email communications and met our lighting needs for our wedding based on our budget. The Edison lighting we chose was beautiful and gave a romantic illumination to our reception at 128 South, a space that he works with regularly. Really appreciated how easy it was to work with him!

    My husband and I were sold on the location space when we saw what Michael did with lights and draping at a different wedding setup. He can really transform a room from another ballroom to a unique and memorable space. We chose to do draping and edison lights in the ballroom and it really gave it that WOW factor. Michael was so helpful and personable during the planning process as well as very responsive. It was great to work with him!

    Event Excellence is great! They installed Edison lights around our dance floor and tent as well as up lighting around the reception space. It looked absolutely amazing for a fraction of the cost other vendors would have charged. Event Excellence is the best value in the Wilmington area!

    Wonderful decorations and lighting!

    They are very hard to get a response from but worth the multiple tries! They put drapery from the ceiling beams to a chandelier in the middle over our dance floor. We also had them put drapery on the columns and a light wall. I don’t have a picture of the drapery and chandelier but it really looked amazing!

    Nerve wracking

    I met With the owner in February. I heard nothing from him again. By August I was panicking. He never returned emails ur calls. Eventually I handed this over to my wedding planner. The whole exercise was extremely frustrating and stressful.
    Finally the day before the wedding the company turned up.
    Dressing the tent draping the walls. Putting fairly lights in the ceiling. It really was a great job. Transforming a very average tent into a very pretty space. We used our own chandeliers and lanterns .
