Thanks Lighting Professors!
Lighting Professors, especially Jennifer, were great to work with! They provided us multiple quotes until we made our final decision and were the first vendor in and out on our special day. They were very responsive and easy to work with, and they executed their role just as their name suggests - like professionals. I would recommend them to anyone looking for superior lighting for their event. -

We Recommend!
We worked with Lighting Professors for our September 2020 wedding at the Branch Museum of Architecture & Design. We didn’t need much to be done, but they provided beautiful, warm uplighting to bring the space together and complete the cozy vibe that we wanted. We also chose to have some bistro lights strung on the patio outside, which was the perfect touch as our guests floated in and out throughout the evening.
Lighting Professors was also extremely accommodating when we needed to reschedule our original April date due to COVID. We definitely recommend them, not just for their solid work, but for their professionalism and communication! -

The Lighting Professors did an amazing job lighting my wedding. The lighting was beautiful. They were also very responsive, writing back to my emails almost immediately. I highly recommend this company. -

So delightful and easy to work with, makes a big difference for indoor venues
I got married at the John Marshall Ballrooms, which does not have windows in the major ballroom. After looking at pictures from past weddings, I decided to cut my flower budget in half and do professional lighting instead. SO WORTH IT. The group was so easy to meet with, and Honey was available to us whenever we needed her. They did everything perfectly the day of. The spotlights for dances/toasts were great and the lighting change after dinner kept our dance floor going the whole night! I would definitely recommend them. -

Really enhanced our reception!
Lighting was not something I considered when I started to plan my wedding, but then my photographer recommended looking into it and I saw it mentioned on a lot of wedding blogs. I was skeptical at first (as was my mom) but reached out to Lighting Professors anyway. We went to meet with them and our opinion changed (I think my mom was even more into it than I was after that meeting!) They were extremely professional and knowledgable, and also very flexible with adding services after I initially hired them. My reception was at the Jefferson hotel. Of course, there is lighting already there so it would not have been the end of the world not to have a lighting vendor, but I have to say the uplighting, which changed throughout first dances, dinner, speeches, really enhanced the room (and our pictures!) They worked seamlessly - I didn't even know they were there (other than seeing the change in lighting of course) If you're getting lighting for your wedding day, I could not recommend Lighting Professors enough. -

The Lighting Professors Transformed Our Space
My husband and I got married in October 2019 and held our reception at the Bolling Haxall House in Richmond, Virginia. The venue is the complete opposite of what I said I wanted, but we fell in love with it after taking a tour. I knew immediately, though, that we would need lighting to help transform the space into what we wanted. The Lighting Professors worked their magic, and it turned out to be better than we dreamed it to be. They were actually setting up for another wedding at the venue the day we took our tour, so we got their card. They were great from the moment we met them all the way through to the day of the wedding. The have a showroom where you can see what different lighting looks like which was a major help in making decisions. They were very professional and always available and responsive when we had questions. I would highly recommend them! -

Perfect touch
Lighting Professors was amazing to work with for our wedding! I knew I didn't want anything dramatic for our lighting in our already beautiful venue but wanted something soft to compliment it. They did an amazing job bringing my vision to life and I would absolutely recommend them to others planning a wedding or special event!! -

Highly recommend if you want to transform any space into something special
Lighting Professors are truly amazing. They were able to transform a very plain and very large white room into a beautiful wedding reception venue using up-lights, spot light, draping and waterfall lights behind the bridal party. We could not be more pleased. They also engineered and set up the speakers we used. Andy knew what would work electrically using the room's electrical system and not only set up all the up-lights and spot light, but also set up the coffee vendor's electrical outlet so a circuit would not be blown. I am also glad we hired a Lighting Professors person onsite during the event because he was able to work the spot light and change up-light colors during the evening, which really added to the ambiance. I highly recommend Lighting Professors. They do a fabulous job and Jen and Andy are such a pleasure to work with! -

complete transformation of our venue!
The Lighting Professors are AMAZING. We hired them for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding ceremony/reception, and we truly can't express how happy we were with our experience. Both venues started out extremely bare (a barn and an empty church fellowship hall), but the lighting and drapery completely transformed the atmosphere. Everyone kept commenting on how they had no idea the church fellowship hall could look so pretty. It looked like we had been transported to an entirely different space. From the uplighting to the waterfall lights to the color-changing lights on the dance floor to the beautiful draping, there is nothing the Lighting Professors can't do. Whether you are looking to add a little extra touch, or whether you are looking to completely overhaul a room, you will not be disappointed with the Lighting Professors. Thank you for making our wedding weekend so beautiful! -

Couldn’t ask for more!
Yes, the uplighting!! We had our wedding at John Marshall Ballrooms in downtown Richmond. It’s a large ballroom and I knew I wanted uplighting to really set the mood and capture the amazing moments. Lighting Professors did not disappoint! The room looked stunning and adding spotlight during our first dance added an extra pop to our amazing photos. We had gone with the additional feature to have the lights change during the reception and that’s when the fun started. When the lights turned to blue all my guests got up and cheered and knew it was party time! We had multiple light changes from ceremony, to dinner, to dancing and party time. It really set the stage for what turned out to be a fantastic time. Highly recommended! -

Changed the Room
Our venue was in need of some flair. The lighting professors brought that flair. The changed the whole feel of the room. Going into the event, I was unsure about the importance of lighting. I can tell you it was probably the most important add of the night. I highly recommend the Lighting Professors, THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! -

I am a wedding planner and hired Lighting Professors to give my venue a boost. They were wonderful! I worked with Jennifer in the planning process and Andy was our day of technician. It was beautiful and my bride and groom could not have been happier! Thanks for making me look good! -

Incredibly professional. Lighting really made the venue amazing!
Lighting Professors are incredibly professional and high quality lighting company. They were the easiest of all of my wedding vendors to work with and always were on top of things. Our venue was a big ballroom that needed professional lighting and they really transformed the space. I would highly recommend Lighting Professors to any Richmond weddings! -

They completely transformed our property and it was magical! 😍
Lighting Professors were amazing to work with from start to finish. Their team was super responsive and their consultation process was really fun and inspiring (who knew lights could be so exciting?)! John and Jennifer were very knowledgeable and easy to work with. They brought some amazing ideas and expertise while being honest about the budget and the value - I knew we were in good hands! We explained our vision to them and they totally ran with it. Their team made our event so much better than we ever thought was possible!
Their installation team spent an entire day setting up, they even stayed after the sun went down to make sure everything was PERFECT the day before our wedding (and it was)! They thought of absolutely everything! They transformed our private property into an amazing and magical wedding venue. We cannot thank them enough for all of their expertise and hard work, not to mention - the magical images of our guests and the event that were captured under their lights. We will always cherish the beautiful memories and photographs from that evening - all thanks to the amazing work of our vendors, especially the Lighting Professors!

Would book again in a heart beat!
I booked the lighting professors a few months prior to my wedding. Lighting was originally something I did not include in my budget because I didn’t see the “value” in it when I first started the planning process. Oh my goodness was I wrong!! After meeting with the Lighting Professors, viewing what they had to offer, and seeing the difference lighting made we were so thankful we added them to our team of vendors. They were one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. They were timely, knowledgeable, efficient, and so easy to work with! Thank you Lighting Professors! -

Lighting was perfect for wedding
Lighting Professors were awesome to work with. Jennifer is very knowledgeable and helpful to get the right lighting for your event. It made such a difference. Love the pinspot lighting and color changes during reception. Well worth the money spent. -

Perfect vision for our venue!
The Lighting Professors came up with the most perfect lighting for our wedding. We got married on a family farm property in Charles City and they converted the back terrace into the most amazing space. I really feel that the lighting was so perfectly executed that we could have done without any other decorations. It was beautiful. -

Lighting Professors did an AMAZING job with the lighting for our wedding. The team was very accommodating with our last minute decision to add a tent and still executed the bistro lighting with perfection.
We are so happy with the way the lighting turned out and it certainly added a special touch to our special day.
Thank you Lighting Professors! -

You will not be sorry if you book these guys! They know how to transform a space and make it perfect. From simple uplighting to custom monograms, they know what they are doing. John and Pat created a great vision for our venue (Boathouse at Rocketts Landing) and really gave the room the soft, romantic feel that it needed.
If you need any sort of lighting (which you should!!) don’t go with anyone else. Lighting Professors are the best! -

The Lighting Professors are true professionals and so easy to work with! I didn't realize how much lighting could add to a wedding and I'm so glad that we did it! They even accommodated our special requests for bistro lights and some color changes throughout the night. They even worked with our band to make a really cool entrance! Highly recommend! -

Lighting Professors did a FANTASTIC of a job at my wedding. The lights were truly magical and we could not be more pleased with the work that was done. Throughout the entire process, Patrick and his team were responsive and attentive to our questions and needs. Given that we lived 2-3 hours away from Richmond, we were able to set up a phone meeting with Lighting Professors and communicated over email. We had no problems getting in touch and they delivered everything as planned and made our vision come to life. The guests LOVED the outdoor bistro lighting and made our venue even more amazing at night. Guests danced under the globe lights and had the best time. In addition to the bistro lighting, we had a spotlight on the cake which really made our cake shine!
Thank you so much for everything, Lighting Professors. Definitely worth every penny-- HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The Lighting Professors were by far the most organized and professional vendor I dealt with throughout the entire planning process of our wedding. The day I met with the guys at Lighting Professors there had been a power outage that morning and there internet was down, instead of turning me away they still had their entire presentation backed up and were able to run the consultation smoothly without internet. Their display room with faux wedding setting up to compare a reception space with and without lighting is very well done. The payment process was easy and pain free and everything was set up at our venue a few days before the event. The lighting at our reception space took it from pretty to gorgeous! We LOVED the barista lights over the dance floor and the Edison bulbs cascading down the exterior brick wall, it was a huge hit for selfies at the end of the night. -

We used Lighting Professors for our Wedding Reception and I am so glad we did. They did a beautiful job at the John Marshall Ballrooms. I went in thinking I just wanted some basic amber lighting for the whole reception and after meeting with Patrick, I was so excited by all the possibilities! The pinpoint lighting on the cake and the flower arrangements truly made a huge difference! Thanks Lighting Professors for making our wedding reception BEAUTIFUL! -

Lighting was the last vendor I had to book when planning my wedding. I was honestly putting it off because I didn't know anything about lighting and was unsure of where to begin. My husband and I met with Jake at Lighting Professors and he showed us all of the options for our reception. He listened to my vision and came through completely. Our reception was in the Empire Room at The Jefferson. We did uplighting on all of the columns in a soft amber/candle light tone. My parents didn't understand the need for lighting until they walked in the room. The room had the perfect glow and was beyond anything I pictured. I also really enjoyed getting to tell my parents "I told you so".
Thank you so much Jake for walking me through the process and making me feel like a lighting expert. I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. -

This review is slightly late, but I wanted to give my feedback. Lighting Professors and their owner Jake was very easy to work with. We contacted him with our interest in using him and he went out to our venue to asses the space. Within 5-7 days we had a contract. Jake responded to my questions about the contract and prices the same day. We signed the contract 2 days later. What a relief to have such an easy vendor to work with! Thank you Jake and Lighting Professors! -

The Professors know what they're doing, and are humble and gracious to boot. What they did for our outdoor evening wedding event felt beautiful and creative and perfect at the time of the event - but we really had no real sense of how important their work would be until after we got our photos back. The bistro lighting in the outdoor spaces, the tree uplighting on the patio, and the tavern lights in the tent really took things up a notch. It was a memorable night, made more so by Jake and John's artistry and technical expertise, not to mention their staff who implemented their vision. I recommend them highly and would certainly use them again, given the opportunity! -

Jake from lighting professors took our private home venue to another level - he added an ambiance for our dinner that was just gorgeous. We were on the water and wanted a way to have additional lighting, but didn't want anything too over the top - he created almost a canopy of lights over top of our dining table and it was just beautiful! He also did a small bit of uplighting around the house, which was perfect. With the water and the sunset - we couldn't have asked for a better outcome! Thank you so much Jake - you and your team are amazing! -

I used Lighting Professors for my outdoor tented wedding and I honestly can't say enough good things about them. Jake was so easy and fun to work. The bistro lighting and "BAR" marquee light were exactly what I had hoped for and our guests were constantly saying how beautiful the lighting was! -

I was connected to Jake via my wedding planner just a few weeks before my wedding. I hadn't considered it in my budget originally, but she convinced me that it was worth the investment. He put together the quote for me, send it, and I signed and paid the same day with their online forms! They were THAT easy to work with. The work the Lighting Professors did for our wedding was incredible - it really transformed our room night and day. The reception looked absolutely beautiful!! I can honestly say it was one of the best investments I made in planning our reception space. Great job guys!!! -

My daughter lives on a horse farm, so naturally she wanted her dream wedding to be held outdoors on the farm she loves. She had a vision of how she wanted the wedding to be – NO tent, eating, playing and dancing under the stars. She wanted bistro lighting strung between the trees across the open field and all the trees around the field lit up. A rather tall order! I contacted 7 different lighting companies to explore the feasibility of realizing my daughters dream. Only one company was up to the challenge – The Lighting Professors. Jake Anderson is the owner and creative talent. Not only did he bring to bear his remarkable technical expertise to create my daughters vision, he was wonderful to work with – simply a nice person. He promptly returned every phone call and e-mail. I highly recommend that anyone with lighting needs contact Jake. You will not regret the results.
Finally, not only where bistro lights across the fields, he hung a chandelier over the bride and grooms table in the middle of the field. Additionally, 750 feet of tree line around the field where lit with lights that changed colors according to the mood of the music and the stately 460 year old oak tree at the far end of the field was fully lit. It was magical. -

Jake is fantastic! I knew lighting mattered but I had no idea how much it was going to truly make our ceremony and reception so elegant and beautiful. Jake did an outstanding job using his new pinlight technique for our wedding, did an excellent job lighting us for the ceremony and dance, and used uplighting to create such a gorgeous atmosphere. He made the rotunda at the science museum look so intimate.
Other positive notes, Jake is just a lot of fun to work with, he was super responsive to us, always available by phone and email, he was beyond reasonably priced (what a great deal he was for his time and help), he took the time to scout out the venue early on to come up with his lighting and budget proposal, and the best thing was that we felt he truly listened to us and did not offer us expensive things that we did not want or need. He understood our budget goals and our vision and did more than we thought possible to create a lovely atmosphere for our wedding. -

From the beginning of my inquiry to delivery of the final product, Jake w/ Lighting Professors exceeded my expectations. He was responsive to every email and/or phone call as well as actively reaching out to me to ensure the day of ran as smooth as possible. Jake was on time, understood exactly what I wanted with me providing little direction and even better, he was very flexible when at the last minute the table arrangements changed. I received several compliments, from guests as well as the venue in regards to the quality and ambiance his services provided to the reception. I believe this was one of the key contributions to making my wedding an event that would never be forgotten, not just for us but for my guests as well. -

Jake is wonderful! He is so thoughtful in what he does to make sure the feelings and emotions are captured in the lighting. He really took what we wanted and made it come to life. He is very easy to work with and is a true professional. Our wedding wouldn't have looked or felt the same without his professional expertise. I would reccommend him to anyone in the area. -

Jake is fantastic! In so many ways he went above and beyond for us both at our wedding and during the many months of planning. Jake provided uplighting and a GOBO for our wedding and it really looked outstanding. He was professional, polite, and always available to answer any crazy questions we had about lighting. His set-up was extremely professional and we found him to be very reasonably priced. We could not have been happier! -

Jake with Lighting Professors did an amazing job with the event lighting for our wedding ceremony and reception! I have had so many people, both who attended the event and those who saw photos, that were just blown away by how spectacular the lighting for the event was. He really knew how to bring life to the room. He was also easy to work with, very professional, and always seemed very eager to discuss his ideas and our options. We highly recommend him! -

Having a good band is a key element but the lighting creates an illusion and sets the mood for the entire evening. They are equally important. -

The Lighting Professors did a fantastic job providing uplighting to our wedding reception as well as hanging bistro lights to an outside patio. It was amazing how well the uplighting tied the decor together and really gave the room the *wow* factor I was hoping for; the room would have been just too plain without it. And the bistro lights gave a very cool, inviting feel to the patio for anyone who needed a break from the dance floor! If you're unsure if you need uplighting, see if you can see pictures of the venue during a reception with the lighting and without it, you'll see what a great difference it can make! -

Lighting professors did an amazing job with our wedding, and we are so happy we decided to use them! We had our reception in the cavernous Marble Hall at the VMFA, so we knew we needed something to really set the atmosphere - and they did not disappoint! We worked with John and Patrick, who were not only understanding of the vision we had in mind, but they were a lot of fun to work with. The whole business is comprised Richmond natives too, so they had a lot of great vendor suggestions if you’re not super familiar with the area. While the pricing might seem a bit high, they provide a great service and we’re glad we went for it! We would definitely recommend them! -

The folks at Lighting Professors were wonderful. We were able to talk through what we were hoping to have as far as lighting, but leave the logistics to the professionals and they knocked it out of the park! Jake at Lighting Professors was happy to work with us on price point, made things work with our venue (that wasn't entirely flexible on set up timing) and was able to understand our vision from the start. The lighting was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend them! -

Jake and his team were excellent for our backyard event. Jake was friendly and easy to work with. His initial fantastic plan was more than we wanted to spend on lighting, but he was easy to work with in editing the design to fit our projected budget. Jake's design reflected what I hoped the site would look like. He was very flexible in that he knew that our rain plan was an entirely different and indoor space, and he came to our walk-through and figured out a plan B if it rained. It didn't, but he was prepared to go the extra mile and come up with a new plan. I enjoyed working with him and the backyard design was just lovely. -

Our venue was at the Boathouse at Sunday Park, and they delivered as promised flawlessly - lots of subtle but impactful “wow” factor! I was obsessed with a chandelier that was a must have - and it was amazing! They also provided our pin lighting, up lighting and bistro lights in our outdoor tent. We trusted the communication between them and our planner. And, in the end we felt like the price was worth it. -

The Lighting Professors were one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding! They work made our venue look truly magical, and there were several times where I just had to stop, look up, and appreciate the effects of their work. Patrick was really helpful and friendly in every step of the planning, and was super flexible when I called with a last minute request days before the wedding. You can count on a really professional team that is experienced and make your vision come to life! -

Beautiful lighting
The Lighting Professors did a great job lighting the large outdoor pavilion used for our reception - it looked lovely and matched our venue perfectly. While a bit pricey, they were very professional, created a beautiful lighting design, and had technicians stay on site through the wedding so were well worth the cost! -
