    Amazing - Thank you Wyatt

    We decided to add lighting to our wedding literally a few days before. I called and Wyatt was very accommodating. He explained what they could do and tried to stay within our budget. On the wedding day, Wyatt asked whether everything was setup the way we wanted. He made the experience smooth and the venue looked beautiful! Thank you!

    XL Lighting & Special Effects Services's reply:

    Wow thanks so much!! Once again congratulations again on your new journey in life. You both are so welcome!
    "Many thanks for having me apart!" It was such a pleasant and elegant experience!

    Very professional

    Wyatt helped me with my wedding. He was super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Even months later when I followed up with him, he was on top of it. The quality of service on the actual day was top notch. He listened to everything we wanted. His pricing is also the most reasonable out of all the other vendors in this area. Definitely recommend for lighting.

    "Wow!!" Thank you so much! It was such an honor working with you for your big day! Everything was amazing!! This is much appreciated and wishing you both nothing but success on your new journey in marriage!

    "Many thanks!!"

    Great Service from A Great Company

    I called XL Lighting because my original decorator cancelled 8 days before my event. I was so focused on other aspects, that I called them they the day before and Wyatt stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park. He came the day of the event and set up everything up nicely. It turned out wonderful, and no one was none the wiser. Thank you Wyatt and XL for making my event special. I will never forget how you saved the day.

    Excellent Service for a Reasonable Price

    My husband and I hired Xscape Lighting & Special Effects for our wedding on 11/30/19 and we couldn't have been more pleased with their services. The team went above and beyond our expectations. When I originally spoke to Ron, I advised him of the space layout and provided some insight to my vision of how I wanted our special day to look. Ron and his team took it and RAN with it! The result was absolutely breath taking. For starters--they strung twinkle lights from the ceiling!! They also provided a "dancing on a cloud" effect for our first dance, uplighting, a custom monogram, dance floor lighting, laser lighting, and indoor fireworks(cold sparks)! Our guests were absolutely in shock and the party went on for hours! Thanks to the awesome atmosphere that Xscape Lighting & Special Effects created, our guests are calling our wedding the "event of the century!" If you are seeking a wonderful vendor who will cater to your needs and vision--- you have no need to look any further! Xscape Lighting & Special Effects is the one for you!

    My School holiday show

    XLlighting & special effects did a great job for my schools holiday performance. The lighting and sound system was excellent. When my announcer called off at the last minute, the owner (Ron Porter) stepped in and did a wonderful show. Excellent lighting effects !!!

    Exceptionally unprofessional

    Cutting right to the chase - despite having 3 hours to set up, Ron and his team were still hanging lights when guests arrived at cocktail hour with ladders all over the place see attached picture), dropping and breaking bulbs as folks were eating and drinking. Even once they finished, not all the bulbs were lit and one of my friends went around tightening bulbs. When I requested a partial refund, they refused.

    Exchange one email and you’ll get a sense of the professionalism here. I wish I paid more attention to that and used another vendor.
