Feb 2026

I’ve been in the event production industry for over 15 years, and working with this AV team has truly been a breath of fresh air. I never once had to worry about whether something would get done—their communication is clear, proactive, and reliable.

My husband & I hired Jackson and The Lighter Side for our wedding at the Culver Hotel. The dance floor is the beating heart of any good wedding, and it was very important to us that the atmosphere in our venue (a hotel lobby with high ceilings) really feel like a proper dance floor in a disco. Fairly late in the game, we made the decision to hire professionals to make that happen. The Lighter Side worked with us to provide a large menu of options on a relatively short lead time, and responsively tailored the setup to be exactly what we felt was important, with nothing extraneous. On the day, Jackson & his team absolutely transformed the space, bringing in two large disco balls with pin spots, colored washes that changed with the music, and intelligent moving lights that cast patterns of color around the ceiling. The effect was stunning, and helped ensure the dance floor was always busy! We are so happy with the service we received from Jackson, Johnny, and Charlotte. Hiring WOVA & The Lighter Side was absolutely the right call, and well worth the money!
