Lighting By Rahn

I was so delighted with my experience working with Rahn and Kelly. They provided lighting for our wedding reception at the Orcutt Ranch last October. Rahn was so professional, he worked very well with our other vendors, and the final product really speaks for itself. They were so flexible and creative in the lighting solutions for our venue. Plus, my husband and I were on a tight budget, and Rahn provided very straightforward pricing options to helps us stay within budget. We were so pleased and would highly recommend their services to others looking for lighting for their event!

Rahn lit up our wedding reception in our friend's backyard on September 30, 2012. Before booking Lighting By Rahn, we really weren't sure what to do since we were on a small budget, but we reached out to Kelly (who owns the business with her husband, Rahn) to see what they might be able to offer. She assured me they could be flexible and work within our means -- and they they delivered! A few months before the wedding we scheduled a walk-through of the space with Rahn. There was a minor miscommunication in scheduling, but it was the only hiccup in an otherwise drama-free experience. When we met Rahn at the walk-through, we immediately felt comfortable with him. We could tell he is an expert at what he does -- he understood what we wanted and needed -- and was honest about what we didn't need. In the end, we had the simple, magical lighting we envisioned, and all for a great price. The friends who hosted our wedding liked the lighting so much that they've hired him for other events/parties and even had him install some permanent lighting for them, as well! If you're looking for an honest, reputable lighting expert, Lighting By Rahn is a great choice!

I'm a wedding coordinator and Rahn & Kelly did the lighting for a recent wedding of mine at Orcutt Ranch! They were so fabulous to work with!!! They met with my bride at the venue and talked through various options for lighting. They were very straightforward in their approach and so sweet to work with! After the initial meeting, they emailed is pricing information for the different options we discussed. They were very accommodating to the bride's budget! They even threw in some Shepherds hooks for us to use.At the end of the night, even with a really tight clean up time, they were on time and very much adhered to the time restrictions we had. And through the whole process they maintained a positive attitude and were a joy to work with!I would recommend Lighting by Rahn to any of my brides that need lighting! They were absolutely fantastic!

Fantastic.Pure and Simple. Long story short, we had to postpone our wedding day till about year from the time we actually met with Kelly and Rahn at the venue. When it came time,they had all the notes, knew exactly what we wanted and were ready. They are so organized and professional.** I do not say this lightly.......Sooooo many things went wrong for our wedding. We had issues with every single vendor expect for Lighting by Rahn. They were the only people that I did not even have to think about. I never even saw them. They came when they said they would, set everything up perfectly, and came back when they said they would, and took it all down. I could not possibly express my gratitude for not causing us one bit of stress. Biggest thanks to them and I will hire them and refer them any chance I get!

Our lighting for our wedding was absolutely beautiful! It was all that I had hoped for and more! Kelly and Rahn were extremely easy to work with and very personable. I was so discouraged about doing lighting for our wedding because I didn't think we could fit it into our budget, but Kelly and Rahn gave us more than what we wanted for much less than their competitors. Whenever that happens, generally you think that it is too good to be true and that the finished product is going to be sub standard. This couldn't be farther from the truth in this case! Kelly and Rahn personally met with me at our venue to discuss our needs. They really went the extra mile for us. I would recommend Lighting By Rahn over and over again to anyone looking to have a beautifully lit wedding.

After looking for somebody to hang a single strand of lights and a large (lit) artificial wreath from a second story roofline, I found Rahn's company. Multiple attempts to contact him eventually led to an appointment...which was cancelled at the last minute and rescheduled for the next day...which happened late enough for it to be dark outside. While the lights were hung properly, I can not say the same for the wreath as it pulled out of the single eye-hook that he installed (granted, it is sometimes windy in Moorpark but hey, he's a professional and should accommodate this). Thankfully I had installed a second line on the wreath in an effort to minimize the banging around it was subject to with only a single connection point. When I tried to call / text Rahn to schedule a follow-up, I waste with what I can only term extreme resistance. He claimed no responsibility for his work but instead inferred that perhaps the wood is rotting and thus caused the hook to pull out. Thanks! Errrrr...no!

I had scheduled them for the wedding which we had confirmed multiple times over phone and email. And the day of, they didn't show up. I realized the lights weren't up during dinner at the reception. The whole thing was outdoors so I needed the lighting, if it weren't for that, I would have canceled and gotten my money back. I had to give him a call during the reception to tell him that the wedding was happening already. So he showed up about an hour later to set up while my guests were there. He said that he has a different date on his calendar and I don't know how that could be because I had proof on my invoice that he had the right date. So when it came down to tearing down, he was still expecting a payment, even though I had paid half of the amount to reserve that date. I didn't think it was worth any more and he still tried to negotiate. I was furious. What a way to end my wedding day.

My husband and I hired Lighting by Rahn to help create a romantic, winter-themed atmosphere for December wedding. Rahn and his wife Kelly were incredible to work with from the moment we inquired about their services. They invested a lot of time helping me research ideas to achieve the perfect looks for our outdoor ceremony and indoor reception, even scheduling a walk-through at our wedding site months in advance to ensure what we wanted could be executed. Days before our ceremony, we learned rain was in the forecast on our wedding day. Rahn and Kelly were so quick to brainstorm back-up options if we had to move the ceremony indoors--which we ended up having to do--and it was absolutely stunning. Guests of our wedding said the atmosphere was intimate and romantic -exactly what I was hoping for! And not to mention, they were so reasonably priced and worked within our budget! Rahn and Kelly truly care about their clients and were fabulous to work with. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for specialty event lighting, or Christmas lights, which they do, too!

Kelly has been incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with. This company offers affordable pricing and great customer service. I'd recommend them to anyone needing help with lighting for their event. Thanks, Kelly!
