SPARK Creative Events

I ordered a few Chandeliers and some Marquee Lights for décor at our wedding at The Granada Theatre from SPARK. When I had any questions, they were super responsive and helpful. What blew my mind was when I walked into the theater and saw how perfectly everything was done! Everything looked just gorgeous. We had discussed hanging the marquee lights, but they ended up pinning them to the back of the theater which looked sooooo much better! Lani and his team are great, and I’d highly recommend working with them :)

SPARK was probably the vendor I had the least contact with in the months leading up to my wedding, to the point that I didn’t even know their company name had changed (from LBPS to SPARK) until our wedding week. Despite that I had everything I wanted on the day of my reception and it was BEAUTIFUL. Our reception took place up at Godric’s Grove in Elings Park. The reception site is naturally stunning; however it is not naturally lit for evening events. We wanted to find a company that would make our reception functionally lit, but also beautiful, and all for a reasonable price –pretty tall order. SPARK delivered on all counts. When SPARK provided us with their initial plan for lighting the grove we worked with them to modify the plan until it matched our vision and budgets. They were gracious and cooperative, which we appreciated greatly. We also rented a lounge set from them, which was a huge hit with our guests. My greatest regret is that I don’t have more pictures of our deck from the reception. SPARK provided beautiful lanterns that created a magical quality when the sun went down. SPARK even set up when we weren’t there since our ceremony was at a different venue. I remember showing up at our wedding reception and thinking — this can’t be ours. It was so perfect and we truly did so little to make it happen. Overall they really helped create the most memorable reception venue for us and we could not recommend them more highly.

Lani and his team at SPARK went above and beyond helping us to find and work with incredible sound and lighting equipment for our festival On The Verge. They worked within our budget, gave us great tips and were always on the ball with pickup and drop off. If you are looking for great equipment or a group to make your next event elegant and surreal-​this is the place to go. We’d work with SPARK again in a heartbeat.

Getting married on a ranch in the middle of nowhere is not easy. There’s no electricity, no lights, no nothing. Lani fixed all that and then some. I may have underbudgeted at the beginning of the planning process for lights, but I realized that he knows what he is doing, and boy did he do an amazing job! The venue was literally a fairy tale once the sun went down. String lights everywhere, uplights on the barn, a chiffon entrance swagging the barn doors, chandeliers above the bar — it was truly magical, and I don’t think anybody else could have done it for the price he did. He was extremely helpful in helping me cut down on unnecessary costs and helping me get the most effective bang for my buck. I wish I had pictures to post here, but I have to wait for them :) Everyone talked about how amazing the venue looked and I still can’t get over it. One friend it said it looked like we were dancing in a JJ Abrams movie — it was just surreal and amazing. I can’t say enough great things about LBPS and Lani — thank you so much for giving us our fairy tale wedding!

I have attended countless events where LBPS has provided sound and lighting, and I am NEVER disappointed. Lani and his staff are awesome! They are very responsive and seem to not skip a beat. Santa Barbara is very lucky to have LBPS!

This is a difficult review to write… we had LBPS do lighting and sound for our wedding. It was a small wedding without a DJ. We just wanted music for background and then use ipad for some dancing.
Lani (the owner) really knows how to work the lights and make any room look stunning. So no complaints there.
The issue was with the sound system. The system worked through the dinner but at ~9pm, the main music component broke down. This was really upsetting. We didn’t get to really dance at our wedding. We were sent $ 100 ‘refund’ for the broken system but the damage was done… no music at the end of the wedding.

My husband and I got married at the Cabrillo Pavilion Arts Center in July 2011. We hired LBPS Events to provide fabric draping for the room and lighting. Their work transformed the room into a beautiful wedding reception and we were very pleased with their services. LBPS was also very professional throughout all our interactions with the company.
