Words cannot even begin to express how thankful we are for the absolutely stunning

lighting job you created for our wedding. It was absolutely perfect and exactly as we had envisioned. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and you really went above and

beyond to ensure everything would be perfect, and your pricing was extremely fair and we are so appreciative of that. We would recommend your work 1000xs over to anyone.

Thank you so so much again for making our wedding so beautiful! You are the best!”

Xoxo,

Elizabeth & Mark

“I have used Brite Star Lighting / Xmaspros for a decade. They are always improving their business practices to make it easier for their customers. The high winds caused my palm tree to knock down a strand of lights. Dale came right over and fixed it. I also had him install some permanent lights around my backyard patio cover. They have been up for many years without an issue. I would recommend Brite Star Lighting.” – Cindy ( Yelp review )

“I just want to tell you that the recently installed lights are BEAUTIFUL!!! The bulbs are LEDs so they have that unique sparkle to them. The neighbors are in awe! The installation guys were very professional and worked quickly, concentrating on what they had to do.” – Juliet

“I want to thank your team for the fantastic service and prompt responses – very professional.” – Sean

Thanks so much,

Dale and Jason came and installed yet ANOTHER amazing outdoor set for me at my new beach house. Not a huge job this time as the space is small. But it was cool, because he said no job i s too small! I was kinda hesitant to ask to do such a small job. All I wanted was the hanging bistro lights on my backyard fence and another row on my upstairs patio balcony. The perfect amount of lights so not to overpower my neighbors and they were super creative with the lack of power to my old outdated outlets. They hid the cords so well. I was amazed at how they installed them without showing the mechanics. They also took direction on what I should do creative wise. I had a thought and they totally went in a different BETTER direction! Thanks again Dale. I appreciate that you personally came out to do this job. I have moved 5 times i n 6 years trying to find the perfect beach place, and they always help me with my ambiance. Hopefully I will stay put this time! THANKS! A++ (Yelp)

I have used Brite Star Lighting for 4 years and have sent them numerous referrals. Dale and his team are so thorough and professional. His design talents are exceptional. I first used them to light my backyard with Italian lighting. They used commercial grade lights with wires strung. I’ve used them for my Christmas lighting and my son’s wedding as well. Yesterday I hired him to light my friend’s backyard as a surprise gift. Dale is extremely precise and very particular with his installs. Pricing is right on target and fair. Nice knowing that in addition to the huge commercial jobs they install, they still have time for the little guy. Thanks Dale and your team. (Yelp)

We’ve used Brite Star for 3 holiday seasons now! I just wanted to send you an email to let you know how wonderful the ‘crew of 3’ last night was, that came to our house. We own a small business and always appreciate the feedback when we’re not around. They couldn’t have been nicer, especially with my 3 year old and even left two lollipops in our ‘Santa’s mailbox’ for him. They worked long and hard and we love how everything looks. Thank you very much and Happy holidays! (Yelp)

Brite Star Lighting just completed a building for me in Santa Barbara. They arrived on time with a professional crew. They were completely prepared with a clean and organized truck. Their crew went right to work on our building and had it completed quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend using Brite Star Lighting. Be sure to get on their schedule early so you have a spot on their busy calendar. It is worth every penny! (Yelp)

I had the pleasure to work with Dale for some lighting I needed in my backyard for a bridal shower I threw. He always shows up on time and i s always professional. He has great ideas for designing. He installed them so well I am keeping them year round! I would happily recommend him to even the toughest of clients because I can be a bit of a perfectionist! Thank you again Dale for treating my home as if it was yours and hanging lights as if it was your party! It was a hit! A++! (Yelp)

Two years ago I renovated my backyard. The only thing missing was AMAZING lighting…. I called Dale and he did a fabulous job. He was very creative and PROFESSIONAL! I would highly recommend this company! (Yelp)

I wanted to take a minute to pass along a word of thanks for the great job you continue to do with our Christmas lighting decorations. It always looks great and we really appreciate the way you make it a point to come to our home to see what design would look best up in lights. Your team of professionals that assist you in putting the design together and up on the house are top notch, with a big garden and tile roof I am always hesitant about having someone in our yard with a ladder or the roof with tiles. We look forward to working with you all again this year and my husband especially likes the fact that you not only put the lights up but you are out in a timely manner after the season to take all the lights down.

When planning our wedding in Ojai, Brite Star Lighting was one of the vendors we took the biggest risk on. I had yelped and thoroughly googled (i’m talking all the way to the 5th “o” in “Gooooooogle”) to ensure that we would be working with affordable, and TRUSTWORTHY vendors. Wedding expenses are no joke, and when tasked with putting together a one-night event with a price tag in the thousands, good vendors are paramount in the planning and coordinating, especially with a bride like myself with no such experience planning, much less managing it on her own. In all honesty, if I had read the one negative review on here, it would have been enough to turn me away, but when I contacted Dale a few months ago, Brite Star Lighting had no reviews, so I took my chances. From the start Dale was easy to work with and replied quickly by email. He had never worked at our venue (another risk), so he asked to visit it before providing a quote to avoid unforeseen expenses. Dale arrived to our site visit right on time (probably earlier since it was we who were late) and even took a few minutes to coordinate with our DJ in regards to their power needs for our wedding. As we walked around the property going over details, Dale took notes and drew out maps. We made adjustments based on power supply and needs, and then went over it one last time before we went our separate ways. Dale then invoiced me for exactly what we had gone over. Brite Star Lighting was able to take care of all of our electricity needs since our venue provided absolutely NONE of it. We had to provide path lighting to the restroom, we had to provide mood lighting, accent lighting, lighting for the buffet tables, bistro lighting over our reception tables and dance floor, and power for our DJ and his lighting. It was a very large task to take on, but they managed it with ease. Dale kept in touch via email and scheduled to set up early i n the morning on the day of our event. I only realized they had arrived because Dale was looking for me to approve the spacing of the bistro style lighting before he hung the actual lights. To say the lights turned out beautifully is an understatement. He knew exactly which trees to wrap in lights to reflect off the pond. He made a last minute decision to move the generator in order to provide more electricity where it was needed since we had a last minute change in our reception layout. The end result left a dramatic impression. Dale and his crew worked quickly and professionally and really gave me one less thing to stress about on that day. I hope it’s not offensive to refer to a group of men as fairies, but that’s what it felt like– they quietly came in, made the place sparkle and then came back the next morning (a Sunday, by the way) and it was gone. They needed no direction from me (only a quick approval), which was GREATLY appreciated since I was running around the venue figuring out table arrangements and seating charts, all while cooking mashed potatoes for 50 people. Just to make it clear, in reference to the previous reviewer, I was not charged for anything that we didn’t review ahead of time. I was charged for exactly what we agreed on and nothing more. On the day of the event, they brought in the generator and provided power for our DJ and his equipment, and for the caterer, just as we had agreed. Also, their pricing was EXTREMELY fair! I reached out to other vendors first who were trying to charge us up to triple what Dale quoted us and many of them had never even visited the location, they would instead give us quotes for a “starting price.” And they weren’t nearly as responsive as Dale. I hope future brides in the Ojai/Ventura area give Brite Star Lighting a chance as I did. I should probably mention that he’s very familiar with Ojai (big plus!). I hope you’ll see from the get-go that he is professional and true to his word. I had many, many vendors on that day, but Brite Star Lighting was one of my favorites (Shhhh! Don’t tell the others, I’m still waiting on some of my deposits!). (Yelp)
