Cheyenne L. Sent on 10/10/2023Above & Beyond
Before we had even officially booked Firefly (Aubrey) for our wedding, he began exceeding all of our expectations. We had our wedding on my family's land and held the reception in a large garage (70' x 60'). As you might imagine, my primary concern was that I didn't want it to still look like a garage for the reception. From day one, Aubrey assured me that we could turn the space into everything I was hoping for and told me not to worry. He was right. It turned out to be everything I dreamed of and so much more.
Aubrey made several trips to the space for planning and preparation, as there was a lot that we needed done. Not only did he ensure that his services were completed at the highest quality, he also stepped in to help even when it wasn't something that he was responsible for. I even joked at one point that he was even more excited about the wedding than I was. It was so reassuring to know that our day was in the hands of someone who cared so much.
When someone plays such a large role in the success of your wedding day you spend a lot of time getting to know them. My husband and I got to know him well and consider him to be a great person and friend.
Thank you, Aubrey!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Hello friend! From the start, I felt a connection and knew how important it was for you to have your dream wedding near "home". I have never seen two people work so hard and with such a positive attitude! Your energy and excitement and attention to detail by sharing your vision was infectious and makes what I do worthwhile. Knowing that you appreciate it and trust the process of "Making it Happen" even if it means we have to change the game plan a little due to unforeseen circumstances. I can't wait to meet up and grab a glass of wine with you both once things slow down. Perhaps even a hike to the ceremony backdrop (Buffalo Mountain) someday soon if the weather permits! Cheyenne, you and Jessup are two amazing people and seeing you two work together so well on the week leading up to the wedding was inspiring. In fact, you still had that same excitement as we had to take it all down the next day! There is no doubt that you two were meant for each other! I can't wait to see what you both will accomplish together. Wishing you both much success in life as husband and wife! Hope to see you soon! Thank you so much for including me in your wedding!!! Best always, Aubrey -

Highly recommend!
Aubrey did an incredible job with designing our wedding space! I can’t imagine not having the draping or greenery. Aubrey is very professional and was so generous with his services. I cannot recommend his expertise any more!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Thank you, Hannah for the kind words and photos you shared on Wedding Wire! We sincerely wish you and Logan all the best in your new journey together as a married couple. -

Fairytale Lighting
Aubrey and his team is AMAZING. I kept getting quoted outrageous rates (5-6k) for lighting and draping at my wedding. My coordinator suggested I reach out to him as he was very economical and wonderful to work with. I reached out last minute -- literally, it was like a month before the wedding -- and he was willing to work with me and make it happen.
He has a conference call in the beginning to get an idea of exactly what you're wanting. He then will send photo references and help you find the perfect lighting / draping for your event and its environment (we had indoor and outdoor patio lighting). He takes into consideration everything you have in mind and gives feedback and references on things you may not know or think about. When setting up, he accidently made my draping higher than originally wanted. Realizing it a few minutes after sending the pictures, he was willing to fix it without any issues. I ended up loving it even more than my original idea so we kept it how i was. I figured if that's what his mind made happen that it must be beautiful; and it was! He made our wedding reception more beautiful than i could have imagined. If you are in a pinch, or just want some awesome customer service AND lighting/ draping , please reach out to him!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Thank you, Matty for the amazing review! I'm so glad we were able to make it work for you and Chad. I'm so glad you liked the draping going higher for more drama too! It was a pleasure working and I'm so glad it worked out that you loved the drama with the draping going high! :) All the best to you both! Have a wonderful holiday! -

Aubrey Franklin was such a joy to work with. He is great at helping you envision the space you want, gives great advice if you aren't fully sure what you want, and can transform any older or darker space into something truly magical! He was so kind, and I could really tell he sincerely cared about making our wedding feel special and memorable. He was also professional and reasonable with pricing. I think a lot of vendors in the wedding industry try to take advantage, but Aubrey is definitely not one of those people! If you want to make your wedding space feel warm, inviting, and beautiful without being over-the-top, I would for sure hire Firefly Events! Thank you, Aubrey for adding sincere beauty to our day!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind review!! I'm so happy you were pleased with everything and I certainly don't think every wedding needs to be over the top to be beautiful. After all, you two are the focus for YOUR DAY! I just try to help build the framework around you shine. It was a pleasure working with you!! I certainly wish you all the best!! Congratulations! -

Made a HUGE difference to the look and feel of the space!!
We had a wedding in a family members barn and using Firefly Event Services chandeliers and greenery completely changed the space to make it feel like a real wedding venue! Aubrey worked closely with us to make sure we made the best decision for the space and even came out to site verify months prior to know exactly what to do when installing the day before the wedding. It really made a huge difference to the look and feel of the space and we are so grateful we chose Firefly Event Services to be part of our special day!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and Chase on your wedding! Happy that it was what you had in mind and made all the difference for transforming it into a dreamy reception space for guests to mingle and celebrate you two! All the best to the both of you as Mr. and Mrs! -

Absolutely phenomenal
Aubrey is so dedicated to his profession and has such amazing creativity. My biggest concern when working with people is their abiliry to communicate and Aubrey EXCELS! He is always the first to call, check in, discuss any changes, easy to reach and very transparent. I also didn’t have a specific vision but from what I told Aubrey about what I thought I might want, he took it and ran with it and it fits me and my husband so well. Couldn’t have picked someone better for the job. Thanks Aubrey!!!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Hannah! Thank you so much for the raving review!! I think this is a first time getting a review prior to wedding day! I have absolutely loved working with you and Michael on your wedding and sooOO appreciate your confidence and trust in me to help create a little wedding magic for your special day. I still have a few more things to add and can't wait to see everything come together with all the other final touches. Have an amazing wedding weekend!! THANK YOU!! -

Mary O. Sent on 10/03/2023Beautiful lighting and drapes!
Aubrey was fantastic and achieved exactly my vision. He provided us with paper lanterns, string lights and draping for our reception. He also sent us options for colored lanterns based on our wedding colors - my husband is a die hard Hokie so he was excited for the addition of some persimmon and burgundy lanterns. I really appreciated Aubrey sent us photos as he setup and really checked in with us through the whole process. Highly recommend!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Hi Mary! Thank you so much for the amazing review! I wasn't sure how it would work, but it did! I knew we didn't want it to look too much like a Hokie game. Not that its a bad thing, but this was for your wedding! 😊
I loved that you wanted to do something different and trusted us to make it happen! Thank you!! All the best life adventures to you and Eric as newlyweds! -

Katherine Sent on 12/30/2023Magical and a Must Have!
Aubrey at firefly event services was wonderful to work with, and we were so happy with the finished product!
We originally weren’t planning on getting lighting or draping because we thought the reception space was pretty on its own, but decided to add it last minute. Once we saw the space on the wedding day, my family all agreed that the lighting and draping was an absolute must have and made the room so beautiful. We don’t think the wedding would’ve been as aesthetically magical without it!
Aubrey went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the finished product. Hire them now! :)
Firefly Event Services's reply:
Thank you SO much for the kind words! I'm happy that you and your family were pleased with the addition of lighting and draping to go along with the space to create a little magic. I love the photos you shared too! THANK YOU! All the best to you and Kyle on your journey as a married couple. Happy New Year and wishing you both the best in 2024!

Aubrey was so easy to work with; incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible. The lighting and draping we used for our wedding at the Irvine Estate/HMI was even more gorgeous in person. He absolutely killed it and far exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend his services for your big event!Firefly Event Services's reply:

Wedding Lighting
We had an excellent experience working with Aubrey. We hired him last minute — about two months before the wedding — and he was very accomodating of our short timeline. He was quick to respond and clearly communicated what our lighting options were. We ended up having bistro (market) lights along with a few chandeliers and a greenery grid above the dance floor. We didn’t have a very specific vison to begin with, and Aubry did a fantastic job providing suggestions and using his creativity and expertise to make the space pop. On top of that, he kept everything within our tight budget. I would highly recommend Aubrey for your wedding lighting and decorations!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Thank you, Sarah! It was a pleasure working with you and Mick and I'm so happy it all worked out! Thanks so much for sharing your photos with us! Wishing you two all the best in your new chapter together as husband and wife! -

Reception Lighting
Aubrey at Firefly Event Services is a MUST HAVE vendor! He did the lighting for my wedding reception in Lexington, VA, and not only was the result stunning, the service was impeccable. Aubrey is responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and provides incredibly personalized service. Aubrey is well versed in what lighting would look best in the space and works diligently to ensure his recommendation meets your expectations. He truly helps make your vision come to life. Aubrey always made efforts to meet with us in person and was very flexible when scheduling meetings. He is timely, organized, and a great communicator. If you are looking for a lighting professional for an event, you have to go with Aubrey! I cannot recommend him highly enough.Firefly Event Services's reply:

Madison S. Sent on 01/27/2020Gorgeous, Affordable Lighting
My husband and I knew we wanted Edison lights for our wedding, but we hit a snag when we started reaching out to vendors. They were quoting us at $1,500 – $2,000 just for Edison lights, which was higher than what we had budgeted for. We asked our planner if she had any vendors she would refer us to, and she introduced us to Firefly Event Services. The Edison lights were absolutely perfect, and we were able to get exactly what we wanted for about $850. Aubrey was super kind and really a joy to work with, and his right arm, Amanda, made our day look amazing! If you need lighting I would strongly recommend checking these guys out.Firefly Event Services's reply:
It was our pleasure to work with you and Max to come up with something that would work for your budget! Sometimes, we just meet great couples and we like them and don't mind helping out when and where we can. It also helps when we come across kind and kindred spirits! :) Winter Weddings are starting to be a popular trend in Denver! Not just the mountains anymore! All the best to you two!!! Thank you again! -

Kristina B. Sent on 01/26/2020Amazing wedding experience!
Aubrey was super accommodating and helped make sure our wedding day was perfect. He came to our venue walk through and asked lots of questions to get a sense of our style. My husband and I are very laid back and indecisive, but Aubrey was great at asking for examples and showing various weddings he had done before. He was always very responsive and helped provide very helpful feedback during the planning process. He made sure our venue looked spectacular on the day of the wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better person to work with!Firefly Event Services's reply:
Hi Kristina! It was a pleasure working with you and Matt on your wedding at The Curtis Ballroom! Thank you so much for the kind words and review for Firefly! Best always, Aubrey
