Designed to be the Best Events
About Us.
At Event Lights, we believe the right lighting transforms an event from ordinary to unforgettable. Serving the New York Tri-State Area for over 25 years, we specialize in crafting custom lighting designs that set the perfect mood—whether it's corporate gala, non-profit fundraiser, or wedding.
Our core philosophy is to be the best—not the biggest—lighting company, ensuring our client's vision is executed flawlessly. For all our projects, we follow three guiding principles:
CREATIVITY
Each project we take on is individually designed. Nothing is ever “off the shelf” for us. We work closely with our clients to create the perfect atmosphere for each event. Our designers source their talents from extended backgrounds working in professional theatre and architecture. The lighting fixtures we use are the most modern, high-end equipment on the market today. Some gear has even been custom re-designed for us. This allows our team to provide incredible quality and a massive scope of creative potential in every project we undertake.
PROFESSIONALISM
Our personnel are all highly trained professionals in the event industry and have decades of experience working in every type of venue. Whether we are providing elegant style to a corporate event in a 5 star hotel or creating stunning dappled patterns of light in a tent under the stars, we are always prepared with the best team for the job. We take pride in being collaborative and cooperative, making every event a pleasure, not a stress. Our company has a history of creating strong, lasting relationships with clients, venues, and other vendors. We truly love what we do and we love doing it well.
ECONOMY
We excel at premium quality custom designs, and while that work cannot be done cheaply, we take pride in providing our clients with the best pricing in the industry for exceptional quality. Our pricing has no hidden costs, and we never "over-design" our projects to create extra revenue.
Our Design Team
At the core of every event we illuminate is an artistic vision — one guided by our designers, Ken Lapham and Tim Walsh. With decades of experience, they both carry a deep understanding of how light can shape emotion, immortalize moments, and transform the everyday into the extraordinary.
Our team sees lighting as an integral part of how people experience space. Their work blends functionality and artistry, delivering immersive lightscapes that direct focus to what is most important at each event. Whether it's subtle ambience or dramatic, colorful effects; our team orchestrates every detail to set the mood, elevate important moments, and captivate the guests.
From intimate weddings to high-energy brand launches, our designers bring a strong blend of technical mastery and artistic vision to every project.
