David & Bethany T.

Hello Ben, I don't even know where to begin. Additional and/or custom lighting had never crossed our minds, as we had a pretty strict budget. Then I found out we could get some neat lighting for less than what we were paying for linens. As you know, I've been in Event Management for the last 13 years. I expect the best product/service possible for the dollar that I am going to spend. Knowing now that I could afford some neat lighting, I began to ask around to people I know from my facet of our industry, as well as all of the folks I had been meeting in the wedding portion of the industry. 9 out of 10 people that I asked said "Kaleidoscope" and said it with emphasis. I think the tenth person referred me to her cousin who was starting up his business and could get me a great deal.

As I said, I expect the best product/service available, and I will be the first to say that you get what you pay for. I remember that you had four events to do on the Saturday that you met me. Yet you still came out and met Bethany and I at the hotel and showed us examples. Me being me, I wanted to see EVERYTHING and know the prices for each service offered. You and your assistant were extremely patient with my Groomzilla attitude. I didn't want to bloat your ego at the time, but my fiancee was tearing up when she saw the light pink textured lighting coating the ceilings. I initially only wanted some uplighting on the walls. A pretty simple job. We ended up with some spotlighting on the Sweetheart Table (ended up being VERY helpful for speeches), a soft light to keep the cake lit up when everything else was so dark(this is a MUST when you drop that kind of money on a darn cake!), two different alternating colors of uplighting that blended into the textured ceiling, and our names and monogram up in lights above the table.

When Bethany and I previewed the room with our coordinator right after our ceremony, she started crying again. All this beauty we got for the price of some colored tablecloths and napkins. Many of our guests commented on the lighting and how beautiful the Ballroom looked that evening. Given the opportunity, I would advise any couple planning to have a beautiful ceremony to contact you folks. For the last year I have been made to watch Platinum Weddings over and over and over again. They always flash the prices of what each of these services costs at these weddings ranging from a few hundred thousand to a couple million dollars. The prices that they would show for lighting seemed absurd. Meeting with you guys was probably the icing on the cake for our wedding. It was AWESOME!! I hope you end up getting some pics from Damon. If not, I will be sure to send some your way.

If people could see the finished product before the wedding, they would never hesitate to order it and pay for it. I wish there was a way that we could both do that in our respective careers. I don't know what more I can say than Thank You. If you need a reference, you can always tell potential customers that the guy they called Groomzilla on the news and in the Sentinel thinks that your company, product, and top notch customer service is a MUST at any wedding.

Thanks again, Ben.
