    So Amazing!

    We are so glad we chose to work with High Performance for our wedding. Julie was great to deal with and made the rental process go smoothly. We went with the 6' Geo Square and 5 Bamboo Shades (Leyla, Harbor, Dome, 2-Stone). This was hung over our dance floor and truly elevated the room!

    So good! Do it

    High performance was amazing. We used their square Edison board with dangly lights and it was INCREDIBLE!! They were so easy to work with and I highly recommend them! You can tell they care about their product.

    Awesome service and execution

    Julie was one of the most helpful and delightful people we had the pleasure of working with to plan our wedding. And this team knocked it out of the park on the wedding draping and lighting. I appreciated see the inventory ahead of time at their showroom. They even went out of their way to make sure we got the best value for our budget, including a cost share with a wedding ahead of ours at the same venue and recommending a smaller (but still grand) floral chandelier to better fit our venue space.

    They lit up our world

    High Performance Lighting did an excellent job providing all of our lighting needs for our Wrightsville Manor wedding. From the edison bulb string lights in the courtyard to the chandeliers dangling from the Oak trees where we had our ceremony, everything was perfect.

    Beautiful Lighting!

    High Performance Lighting helped with our wedding two weekends ago. They did SUCH a beautiful job. They took care of the set up and take down. We were just able to enjoy the Edison lighting and hanging square board over our dance floor. I am SO very grateful for everything they did! They went above and beyond what they were hired to do, and I couldn’t be more appreciative for the work they did. I would definitely recommend working with HPL!

    Awesome to work with

    High performance lighting helped add that unique and romantic touch to our wedding. Everything was perfect I had nothing to worry about on my wedding day. They even helped hang the chandelier my mother in law made which went perfectly with their copper drums against the brick.

    That chandelier!

    High performance was super friendly and very helpful in the design process. I told them the look I was going for and they executed it perfectly! At one point I wanted to add uplighting but they said it would wash out my twinkle lights and take away from the look! It meant a lot that they were honest with me. Looking back I realized it would have washed out my beautiful twinkle lights. HPL helped me achieve my perfectly lit romantic wedding. I would highly recommend them!

    High performance was great! I only used them for Edison bulbs under the tent at 128 South, but they looked great! They were also on time for setting up. They are a little bit pricier than other lighting companies in the area but they are very professional and they have such a good reputation that I decided to use them and I'm very glad. One less thing to worry about!

    High Performance Lighting set up our lighting at our wedding venue, the tent on the deck was gorgeous with twinkle lights and chandeliers for the ceremony; once the evening began with dancing under the tent it was even more brilliant with the lights mimicking the stars outside. I had to arrange my vendors via phone as I live across the country and was planning the wedding for Wilmington. High Performance was courteous, professional and designed a lovely event just by discussing it over the phone, they are experts at their profession and made the venue gloriously beautiful!

    High Performance Lighting always goes above and beyond! Steve, Myrtle, Regina, and Katherine are absolutely wonderful. They genuinely care about you, and your big day. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. The lighting was beautiful and helped give the romantic feel we were hoping for! Steve and his team are so kind and professional - they are without a doubt the best of the best!

    There is no other way to describe high performance lighting other than perfect. They worked with me beautifuly through the whole process and came through on my day better than I could have dreamed. The whole team is great, every other vendor in the area knows them and has worked with them so the integration was seamless. I used Edison lights and up lighting with them and they even worked with my budget when I thought I'd have to cut out the uplighting 2 weeks before my wedding. They gave me a fantastic deal so my dream wedding could come true. I owe them so much.

    HPL did a wonderful job at my ceremony and reception venues. They were quick, responsive, and reasonably priced.
    There was some confusion a few days before the wedding because my lighting order had changed a few times during the planning stages and Myrtle called me directly just to double check and make sure she had everything down the way I wanted it.

    High Performance Lighting is amazing. The lighting you choose for your venue can make a huge impact on the space and is well worth every penny. Their set-up for Bakery 105 really takes the space to the next level. We chose an Edison light curtain on the back wall and Edison lights over the dance floor and cocktail space outside. The lights provided a romantic feel and were truly beautiful. The folks at HPL were always quick to answer all of my e-mails and were INCREDIBLY patient with me when I could not make up my mind with what lighting to choose - and when I changed my mind several times. I am SO glad we chose them for our lighting needs as their execution and set-up were perfect and everyone commented on it. Thank you so much!

    HPL was great, I'm so glad I decided to use them for my wedding lighting. We used Edison lights and they just turned out great! They gave our wedding the perfect ambiance and really brought the overall aesthetic to the next level. They were very flexible at HPL as well. We had originally planned to use our lights outside, but as the day came near and the forecast for rain loomed, HPL was flexible with changing our original set up. They were able to give me my moneys worth of lighting inside the venue even at the last minute.

    August 26, 2023 - Our Dream Wedding

    Julie and her team at High Performance Lighting made our wedding weekend dream come true. HPL was a part of our welcome party and a huge part of our big special tented reception. Our August 26, 2023 wedding at the Beaufort Hotel was everything we dreamed of and all thanks to HPL for playing a huge role in this. Julie was the best to work with as we wanted different and unique items used for our lighting in our reception tent, and Julie was able to custom order exactly what we wanted. They even helped us customize our bar with a special rigging for floral as well as special rigging throughout the whole reception tent. Julie and her team knew exactly what they were doing and we knew that we would be in great hands from the very beginning. Our lighting and event production design was exceeded perfectly! We couldn’t not ask for a better experience with High Performance Lighting.

    Professional and easy

    Very easy to work with, was immediately put at ease that they would deliver on what we wanted and took into account any special circumstances that might arise (if it rained, making a tent pretty for a ceremony). Highly recommend.

    Beautiful Lighting Display for Our Wedding

    Julie and her team at HP are the best! We had a tented reception with twinkle lights put in for a star lit ceiling look - it was beautiful and our guests were raving about it! Thank you so much Julie & team - we are so grateful.

    Exceptional design and service

    We booked HPL for our wedding, and it was such a great decision! HPL was easy to work with, kind, and helpful throughout the whole process of planning our wedding. Their creative touch was just what we needed to bring our vision to life and created a warm, romantic vibe at our venue. We met with them to view lighting options for bulbs, chandeliers, lanterns, etc. They truly are experts at what they do. We had to reschedule our original wedding date due to Hurricane Florence. HPL was kind, empathetic, and helped us promptly rebook. My favorite design element for our wedding was a wall of hanging lights/greenery (they worked with our florist, Fiore) that was absolutely beautiful. Guests were commenting about how pretty it was all night. I highly recommend HPL to every bride in Wilmington.

    The Bride and groom

    High performance recently did the lighting for my wedding and I am so so grateful for everything they did! They went above and beyond what they were hired to do and I couldn’t be more appreciative for the work they did. They were easy to communicate with, arrived early, worked quickly and diligently. HIGHLY recommend.

    High Performance Lighting is amazing! We used their lighting services for our wedding reception. They provided lighting for our outdoor cocktail ceremony and the dance floor. They were seamless to work with, we told them what we wanted and they did it!
