    The cherry on top!

    Thank you to Mark and the ULS team! The lighting they set up was the cherry on top for our space. We had string lights over the tables and a disco ball for the dance floor - both really helped set the tone and made the space both elegant and fun. We were really pleased and recommend them for any party!

    Universal Light and Sound Equipment Rentals's reply:

    Thank you, Dichaba. We were touched to hear that our lights helped set the tone for such a special day and are so grateful to have played a small role in making it unforgettable. We couldn't be more thankful for customers like you who take the time to share their positive experiences with our company. We wish you the best and all the happiness in the world.

    Hire ULS for Greenpoint Loft!

    We just had our wedding at Greenpoint Loft, and we would hire ULS a billion times over. Greenpoint Loft is an empty space, so the lighting, florals, etc are all the more important in order to give the venue some feel. We knew having some sort of additional lighting would be key, but we didn't really expect guests to take too much notice. However, we were getting compliments right and left from guests about the icicle lights we put over the main dance floor. We also chose to put string lights over the guest tables on the sides, and uplighting around the pillars and perimeter walls of the main space. Even our caterer, who has been to a ton of Greenpoint Loft weddings, kept commenting on how well done the lighting / decor was. Mark from ULS was extremely easy to work with, and he answered our many questions about what lights would look best in which locations, without ever pushing us. The ULS website is a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's well worth it. Again, thank you so much Mark and team!!!

    Universal Light and Sound Equipment Rentals's reply:

    Your kind words and positive experience bring such great happiness to our team. It fills our hearts with pride and contentment to hear that you were satisfied with our lights for your special day. The photos from your wedding showcase your absolutely stunning affair. We are overjoyed to have played a part in helping it look incredible. Your satisfaction and happiness are our top priorities, and we are ecstatic that we were able to meet your expectations. It was truly an honor to be a part of your special day. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we are beyond grateful for it. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and love, and we hope our lights added a little sparkle to your unforgettable wedding memories.

    Beautiful Lighting

    Universal Light and Sound were flexible and easy to work with. We opted for a series of string lights and mirror ball, which looked incredible in our ceremony space and perfectly set the tone for our dance floor. The team was very diligent in the setup and breakdown.

    Universal Light and Sound Equipment Rentals's reply:

    Hello Kimberly, We are delighted to hear how happy you are about the lighting we set for your wedding. We are equally joyful to have been part of your incredible team of vendors that came together for this special occasion. The Wythe Hotel looked amazing!  Cheers to your continued happiness.

    Great lighting for wedding!

    Mark and ULS did our wedding lighting at the Prospect Park Picnic House. Mark was patient with our questions and several back-and-forths on packages and payment. On the day, the team was quick to set up and tear down and was extremely professional- and most importantly the lights looked great! We'd recommend working with ULS to anyone.

    Universal Light and Sound Equipment Rentals's reply:

    We are deeply grateful that you chose our company to illuminate your wedding day at The Prospect Park Picnic House. Adding a dazzling touch to your special day with our lights was an absolute delight. We wish you a future filled with joy and prosperity. Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey.

    Great Vendor!

    Universal Light and Sound was a dream to work with for our wedding lights. They were super quick to respond to inquiries and questions, understood the look we were going for immediately, and were incredibly easy to book. We didn’t even see them on the day of; they came in and installed everything so quickly and returned that night after the party to take down the lights. On a day when you have so much else to think about, it was beyond amazing to have a company execute everything so well, on time, and with no issues. We definitely recommend them to anyone looking for lighting for an event!

    Universal Light and Sound Equipment Rentals's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! Working with you to bring your wedding vision to life was an absolute joy. We are thrilled to have been a part of making your dream wedding come true. We wish you endless happiness together!

    Universal Light and Sound was so easy to work with. They had a package for our venue already listed on their website, with total transparency about their pricing. They were quick with their communication and really flexible with our needs.

    String lights for indoor summer wedding

    This was a great vendor to work with! They were on the preferred vendor list for the venue we used and were responsive throughout the process. Mark was very helpful in explaining the different lighting options, allowing me to make an informed decision. The company also has a strong online presence so you can get a sense of the variety and quality of their work. Everything went smoothly day of. I would definitely work with this company again!

    Awesome Lighting for Perfect Atmosphere!

    We can highly recommend Mark and the light rentals team from ULS-NYC!
    Mark patiently listened to all our wishes and ideas and translated them into a beautiful mix of light solutions with a nice and welcoming atmosphere at our venue. We rented uplights that created intimate, indirect lighting and turned the room very festively. In the dance floor area, we had a disco ball, which was a lot of fun!
    Thanks to Mark! If you want the extra kick of atmosphere at your event, book him!

    Mark and his team did such an incredible job lighting our wedding. We last minute had to change to the bigger venue due to weather and they were able to double our package and make the big space look as though we were always supposed to be there. They were so kind, accommodating and attentive all throughout our process. I can't recommend them enough.

    Mark and his team at Universal LIght and Sound Equipment Wedding made our wedding. They set up a Disco ball with spot lights and the dance floor looked absolutely unreal. The disco ball also added to the decor of our ceremony room earlier in the night. We can't thank him enough. The set up was flawless. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Beautiful lighting & wonderful team!

    Mark and the whole ULS team were wonderful, helpful, and so easy to work with. They make it a breeze to choose a lighting setup, and because they'd worked at our venue before we could literally see the options laid out different ways. They even worked with another vendor we'd hired to hang streamers and were very helpful and accommodating to her. We were so happy with the end result and would use ULS again in a heartbeat!

    We DIY'd as much of our wedding as possible. When it came to lighting at The Dumbo Loft, we didn't want to worry about timing and safety. So we reached out to Mark at ULS-NYC who was quick to respond with a quote, professional, and provided the best service package for our overhead lighting needs. Thank you ULS-NYC for accepting our relatively simple job and giving us peace of mind on the day. A little bit of lighting went a long way! Highly recommend!

    Lighting MADE our Wedding!

    We didn’t realize how important lighting was going to be for our wedding but Universal Lighting absolutely MADE our wedding! Our dinner was outdoors and without the gorgeous string and accent lighting the whole event would have had a completely different vibe. Even the band was lit up as though we were at an actual concert. Universal was very helpful and easy to work with. They helped make our wedding day perfect!

    The most gorgeous lighting!

    They were so easy to work with and laid back. They made the process so easy, and made my vision come to "light"! They really elevated the rooms look, and if you are debating on adding lighting, this should push you to do it- it makes such a difference!

    Magical lighting

    We used Universal Light and Sound for our wedding in October at the Prospect Park Picnic House and the beautiful string lights that they hung from the ceiling for us truly added to the magic of the evening. Mark was a pleasure to work with, super communicative and a great team! We didn’t have to worry about a thing!
