    Amazing experience!

    All we have to say is WOW! We cannot recommend Brad with Wilmington Uplighting highly enough. With the amount of stuff we requested, which was, Edison String Lights throughout the whole venue, 2 Cold Spark Fountains, a Chandelier which was placed above the dance floor, and finally Draping Overhead. With all this, they still made things as smooth and stress-free as possible and did a beautiful job. They truly went above and beyond our expectations. If you hire Wilmington Uplighting it's the best decision you'll make, you won't be disappointed.

    Look No Further! Wilmington Uplighting was a dream vendor to work with!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Brad from Wilmington Uplighting for my special day, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with his services. Brad truly went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the lighting was perfect, and his attention to detail was impeccable.

    From the moment we first connected, Brad was attentive and focused on understanding my vision for the event. He took the time to listen to my ideas and offered valuable suggestions to enhance the ambiance with lighting, uplighting, and even personalized touches like spotlighting our initials.

    On the day of the event, Brad arrived promptly and immediately set to work. His professionalism was evident as he expertly hung piping and staged the lighting to create the perfect atmosphere. What truly sets Brad apart, however, is his positive attitude and genuine passion for his work. His enthusiasm illuminated the entire atmosphere and added an extra layer of joy to the celebration.

    Thanks to Brad's dedication and expertise, our day was everything we had envisioned and more. My husband and I were beyond happy with the results, and we would not hesitate to hire Brad again in a heartbeat. His services not only met but exceeded our expectations, and we are incredibly grateful for his role in making our day truly special.

    If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but also a pleasure to work with, look no further than Brad and Wilmington Uplighting. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Brad, for your exceptional work and for helping to alleviate some of the stress on our big day. You're a true gem!

    Best choice for event lighting

    We recently used Wilmington Uplighting for our daughter’s wedding and we can’t say enough positive things about them. Brad, the owner, and a team member, Angel, provided the perfect lighting in two separate locations and the ambiance that this provided was the “icing on the cake” at this beautiful venue. They arrived early to set up and were promptly there to disassemble at the end of the evening. Brad’s vision for what was needed was spot on and we couldn’t have been more please with the outcome. Thank you Brad for your part in this very special day!

    Great Rentals!

    Brad was awesome! He is very friendly and easy to work with. We used his Edison lighting in the courtyard of Bakery 105 which looked beautiful under our tent. We also rented his hanging board with lights for above the bridal party table. It was a great statement piece for dinner/reception. Would definitely use Wilmington Uplighting again!

    So helpful!

    Brad was so helpful and accessible! He was flexible to switch the day he installed the lights due to a situation out of our control. He was very familiar with the venue so he gave us several tips to help make the lighting perfect for our event! Highly recommend!! Wilmington Uplighting!

    Amazing sparklers

    We rented cold sparklers for my daughters wedding from Wilmington Uplighting. Bed used them for the bride and grooms exit from the reception. They were amazing. Brad was great to work with and his pricing was fantastic. I highly recommend if you need lighting contact them. You won’t be disappointed.

    Wonderful and stress free!

    We cannot recommend Brad with Wilmington Uplighting highly enough. Very easy to work with, very flexible with changes needed due to possible rain. Very professional and punctual. Did a beautiful job!! Edison lighting strung, lighting throughout the tent and lighting falling from trees behind our lounge seating. Looked stunning.

    Brad Gardner, Owner Wilmington Uplighting

    Brad was very detailed and easy to work with. My event location changed due Hurricane Idalia. Brad worked with my Event Host Meagan Lanier and was able to still give me the lighting and ambiance I wanted for my special day. For that I am grateful.

    Creative, vision oriented, amazing

    Brad at Wilmington Uplighting is the consummate professional! He had great, creative lighting ideas and his execution was top notch! Easy to deal with and so very flexible, he made our reception venue come alive beyond the vision we shared with him.

    Amazing Experience with Wilmington Uplighting!

    If you have some worries concerning lighting for your event, then Brad with Wilmington Uplighting is the man for the job! Brad was easy to work with constructing our vision for our wedding reception and blew away our expectations! After describing what we needed for our wedding, he knew that the light bulbs that we requested and paid for were not going to do it justice. Brad went to another event that he previously scheduled to set up, then returned to our setup to provide additional lighting to help brighten the hall. The additional lighting for our reception area would not have been the same without Brad’s touch. With his input and willingness to drive back to the venue to add additional lights, we could not recommend him enough!

    Wedding at Station 2

    Brad was amazing to work with. I realized about a month before the wedding that I would need additional outdoor lighting for the courtyard at Station 2, as the wedding was in the evening. I contacted Brad and he was prompt to respond and get me all of the options for that space. He came out the morning of the wedding, hung the Edison bulbs in the courtyard and it was magical! Later that evening, during the reception, I was amazed at how beautiful those lights made the space. Lots of guests were outside have drinks and chatting and the lighting was perfect! I could not have asked for better. Thank you Wilmington Uplighting for making it the perfect night!

    Just the right touch

    A sincere THANK YOU to Brad from Wilmington Uplighting for adding the perfect touches to our wedding venue. The space was already so charming, but the added lighting made it all the more special!
    We couldn’t have been happier with the entire process. Brad was responsive and professional and we appreciated the ease of communication with him. Other wedding vendors seemed to only want to discuss details with the wedding planner but Brad never made me feel like I was being an annoying MOB…Thanks!

    HIGHLY recommend Wilmington Uplighting

    The entire process from first inquiry to installation of our lighting for our event was seamless. Brad is so responsive and made my vision come to life! I told him my vision and he sent my a few options to choose from. My event would not have been the same without the awesome Edison bulb swags overlooking the yard!

    Amazing! The lights added so much to my wedding!

    Brad at Wilmington Uplighting was incredible! I'm so happy I decided to add the lighting to my wedding. The outside lights on the cocktail tables were AMAZING! The inside lights added a beautiful touch of elegance. Brad was very friendly and super easy to work with. He knew exactly where to put the lights around the ballroom. Thanks again and I will use your service for my events in the future!

    Beautiful Edison Lights & LED Pool Globes

    Wilmington Uplighting did the lighting for our wedding in Ocean Isle. Brad was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. He strung edison lights and added the LED pool globes, which looked amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

    Best service and pricing in Wilmington area for lighting. Come wedding day, we ended up having to dreadfully add a tent due to rain and Wilmington Uplighting was so helpful during this time. They were easy to work with and our Edison lighting was beautiful!

    Very accommodating

    Brad with Wilmington Uplighting was phenomenal! He came out to string Edison lights on a beach mansion for our wedding. We had some issues regarding tripping breakers and Brad was out there to fix the problem the next morning even though he was all the way on the other side of town. Very great customer service!
