Amazing Wedding Experience

Brad and the Wilmington Uplighting team were so great and easy to work with for our wedding. Everything went according to plan and the lighting looked just as we envisioned it would. We used edison lights over the dance floor and set up additional lighting outside for our guests to take a break from the action. Both turned out perfectly! Would highly recommend working with Wilmington Uplighting for any lighting needs you have!

Fantastic & Flexible Draping & Lighting

For our wedding, we worked with Brad at Wilmington Uplighting to install a wall of drapes. Just four days before the wedding, we opted to install drapes along another wall, as well as cafe lighting. It was a decision well-made! Brad not only welcomed the idea, but made it happen on a moments notice. It was affordable, spectacular, and really made a difference when it came to photography, aesthetic, and mood. Plus, he makes the process a breeze utilizing HoneyBook!

10/10 Wilmington Uplighting Experience

We used Wilmington Uplighting to enhance the backyard lighting at the beachfront house we rented for our wedding and reception, and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we spoke with the owner, Brad, we knew we had to work with him. His knowledge, experience, and passion for his craft were immediately clear. He took the time to explain everything in detail, which was especially helpful since we had no prior experience with event lighting.

The backyard of the house was already stunning, but once Brad worked his magic, it was on an entirely different level! He showed us mock-ups of his vision beforehand, and he brought it to life beautifully. The lighting over the backyard and pool was breathtaking, the lights along the dock leading to the beach added a magical touch, and the lighted globes in the pool created an ambiance that was pure perfection.

Our only regret? Not taking more photos to truly capture Brad’s masterpiece! The lighting added so much to the atmosphere of our wedding, and it’s something we’ll never forget.

We can’t thank or recommend Brad and Wilmington Uplighting enough. They truly made our special day even more unforgettable. If you’re considering lighting for your event, do yourself a favor and call Brad—you won’t regret it!

Highly Recommend!!

Wilmington Uplighting did lighting and drapery in our clear-topped tent for an outdoor wedding on Saturday. It was SO beautiful and really made the tent look festive. There were a few "splurges" for the wedding and this was one of them, and it was 100% worth it! I loved it and got many compliments! Brad was easy to work with and payments were simple. Highly recommend! Thank you, Brad and co-workers! (having trouble adding a picture, but it was so lovely!)

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!
