    Lighting at Greenpoint Loft

    Mark and his company did a beautiful job with our wedding. Their work really brought out the best in our venue, and everything went off without a hitch. The communication was great from start to finish, and we would not have changed a thing about how everything worked out. They have our full recommendation!

    String lights for indoor summer wedding

    This was a great vendor to work with! They were on the preferred vendor list for the venue we used and were responsive throughout the process. Mark was very helpful in explaining the different lighting options, allowing me to make an informed decision. The company also has a strong online presence so you can get a sense of the variety and quality of their work. Everything went smoothly day of. I would definitely work with this company again!

    Awesome Lighting for Perfect Atmosphere!

    We can highly recommend Mark and the light rentals team from ULS-NYC!
    Mark patiently listened to all our wishes and ideas and translated them into a beautiful mix of light solutions with a nice and welcoming atmosphere at our venue. We rented uplights that created intimate, indirect lighting and turned the room very festively. In the dance floor area, we had a disco ball, which was a lot of fun!
    Thanks to Mark! If you want the extra kick of atmosphere at your event, book him!

    Highly Recommend

    Mark and his team did such an incredible job lighting our wedding. We last minute had to change to the bigger venue due to weather and they were able to double our package and make the big space look as though we were always supposed to be there. They were so kind, accommodating and attentive all throughout our process. I can't recommend them enough.

    The Disco Ball Made our Wedding

    Mark and his team at Universal LIght and Sound Equipment Wedding made our wedding. They set up a Disco ball with spot lights and the dance floor looked absolutely unreal. The disco ball also added to the decor of our ceremony room earlier in the night. We can't thank him enough. The set up was flawless. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Beautiful lighting & wonderful team!

    Mark and the whole ULS team were wonderful, helpful, and so easy to work with. They make it a breeze to choose a lighting setup, and because they'd worked at our venue before we could literally see the options laid out different ways. They even worked with another vendor we'd hired to hang streamers and were very helpful and accommodating to her. We were so happy with the end result and would use ULS again in a heartbeat!

    highly recommend

    We DIY'd as much of our wedding as possible. When it came to lighting at The Dumbo Loft, we didn't want to worry about timing and safety. So we reached out to Mark at ULS-NYC who was quick to respond with a quote, professional, and provided the best service package for our overhead lighting needs. Thank you ULS-NYC for accepting our relatively simple job and giving us peace of mind on the day. A little bit of lighting went a long way! Highly recommend!

    Effortless Lighting Vendor

    USL was the preferred lighting vendor for our venue and they were a pleasure to work with. We selected a package based on our venue and their team handled the rest. They were on time for both installation and break down. Their lights were just what the room needed to feel special.

    Lighting MADE our Wedding!

    We didn’t realize how important lighting was going to be for our wedding but Universal Lighting absolutely MADE our wedding! Our dinner was outdoors and without the gorgeous string and accent lighting the whole event would have had a completely different vibe. Even the band was lit up as though we were at an actual concert. Universal was very helpful and easy to work with. They helped make our wedding day perfect!

    The most gorgeous lighting!

    They were so easy to work with and laid back. They made the process so easy, and made my vision come to "light"! They really elevated the rooms look, and if you are debating on adding lighting, this should push you to do it- it makes such a difference!

    Magical lighting

    We used Universal Light and Sound for our wedding in October at the Prospect Park Picnic House and the beautiful string lights that they hung from the ceiling for us truly added to the magic of the evening. Mark was a pleasure to work with, super communicative and a great team! We didn’t have to worry about a thing!

    An excellent partner and a team of industry pros

    The team at ULS are complete pros and a dream to work with--they knew our venue inside and out and were able to make recommendations on how we could make the space even more beautiful through lights. Our photos are absolutely stunning because of the unique lighting solutions the team were able to install. The operations and payment process were efficient and simple--critical when you're facing a large list of vendor partners with various needs and timelines. Thank you to the team for being such an important part of our how big day looked and how it made our guests feel.

    Mark brought our vision to life!

    Mark and his crew went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Mark was very communicative and answered all of my questions throughout the wedding planning process (DURING A PANDEMIC). He was flexible when we had to reschedule our original wedding date due to COVID and very kind when we had to adjust our original lighting plan due to a scaled back budget. 

What I really loved about Mark and his team is that they give you ideas re: what is possible depending on what you want. Mark made our dancefloor fun and exciting, with club like-lights but kept the ceremony and reception classy & chic with simple string lights inside of the venue and in our outdoor tent. It was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend this vendor for lighting! Whether you’re having a big party or intimate gathering, Mark is an expert at light/sound and will surely help bring your vision to life.
