Brian was the Best!

Brian was patient, thorough, timely, friendly, and he knows his stuff about lights!! Brian came out to the venue to evaluate the space and gave me a quote the same day. The lights were amazing, he paid attention to small details and even threw in some dinner lights for free! I will definitely be using his services again.

Brian was incredible!

Brian was incredible and knew what to do to make the evening shine. I am so thankful that we found Brian. Brian went to the venue, then sent me his recommendations for the wedding. The lights were just perfect. I would hire him again!

Great Job!!!

Brian was there early, had that ever present smile and easy going nature. He gave great suggestions. This was my band's first gig, and he helped to ease a lot of the stress. I would definitely use him again, and refer him to other bands. Capital City Soul.
