It has now been nearly a full year since I purchased two adult tickets for the Light Fest Lantern…read moreFestival, originally scheduled for July 2024. At the time of purchase, I also paid for the offered insurance, which clearly stated that a full refund would be provided if cancellation was necessary. However, my experience could not have been further from what was promised. The festival itself was canceled due to a fire ban -- understandable given safety concerns -- but it was then rescheduled for October 2024. Unfortunately, I was going to be out of town during the new date, and I immediately took all the necessary steps to cancel my tickets. I canceled through their website and sent multiple emails as directed. Each time, I received automated responses claiming that someone would reach out to me to process my refund. That outreach never happened. Despite my repeated attempts -- over an entire year -- to obtain the refund I was owed, I have still not received a single dollar of the $150 I paid. Instead, I was continually given empty promises and automated emails. The so-called "insurance" I paid for turned out to be entirely fraudulent. It exists purely to make customers think they are protected when in reality, Light Fest seems to have no intention of honoring it. This operation is nothing short of a scam. If the event is canceled or rescheduled for any reason, do not expect to get your money back, no matter what the insurance policy claims. Light Fest took my money and ignored my refund requests for over a year. In conclusion: Avoid Light Fest at all costs. Their customer service is nonexistent, their insurance is a scam, and their business practices are deeply dishonest. Save yourself the time, frustration, and financial loss. These people are crooks, and they should not be trusted

An amazing experience held at the Talladega, AL race track!!! I had the opportunity to attend the…read moreLights Festival in Talladega approx. 1.5hrs from Atlanta, GA. This was the closet location to SC, hopefully they will bring this event oneday to the Palmettos! The event cancelled twice due to weather, so finally...I got to the event about 7pm, the event started at 4pm, I didn't wanna sit in a field for hrs, so we showed up just in time. We checked in, received bands, lantern, instructions, a black marker to decorate the lantern. They did have a lot of goodies you can purchase for the evening. The parking was organized when we arrived, leaving was another story, we went the opposite of the traffic to avoid the traffic drama, no issues. I brought 2 chairs, bug spray, and some snacks. They did have some food trucks, the lines were super long, so be prepared. I did buy some kettle popcorn from one of the vendors. The team lit the oil lanterns around 8p just before dark, lots of music playing, people dancing having a god time. The host for the evening was lively and kept kept the crowd entertained. Approx 8:30 the host gave directions and lit 1 lantern so we could see the direction of the wind. Once we got the Ok, its was dark enough for everyone to start lighting and releasing the lanterns! Such a magical night and a lot of fun for all. Yes, I would attend again if they came closer to Columbia, SC! The price is reasonable for all, $20- 25 per lantern. Add them on your FB page so you can keep up with the locations.

Our 16-year-old found plenty of selfie-worthy spots, and we had to peel our 4-year-old off the slides when it got dark. Something for everyone! We also loved picking up the animals, which included bunnies, chickens, and a regal turkey strutting around the grounds. The pumpkins were pretty well picked over, but who actually buys pumpkins at a pumpkin patch?

The teachers and staff are highly skilled, well-organized, and provide excellent communication with parents.

Although Kirsten was a very kind, cheerful and knowledgeable woman with an amazing personality,…read morethis tour was unfortunately not even close to worth the $3000 we had paid like we hoped it would be. We spent most of the time in the van and when we did stop at the locations, we weren't able to go inside to tour any of them or even use a bathroom at them, we just stood in the driveways to learn about them. I admire her passion for teaching, but we cannot for the life of us figure out how our $3000 was spent. The wine was limited to an ounce every time, and whenever we asked for a second "glass" the lady pouring would say "well we want to make sure everyone gets some!" - the "snacks" were two tiny pieces of cheese inside of a ziplock baggie and there is no place to use any restroom throughout the course of the entire tour... mainly because the tour takes place only in a van and standing in driveways. For $3000, a nice suggestion would've been a charcuterie spread INSIDE of one of the locations with some tastings and every person at that price should at the very least have been able to go home with a bottle of wine from the tour. I give her credit for starting up a creative business in an extremely competitive tourist city, but I can't in good faith allow anyone else to pay so much money to go into this expecting a luxury experience, and end up getting yelled at by a bus driver and having to sneak around an old hospital just to pee. I really liked her as a person and hope she can take this advice and use it to work on creating a better experience for all.

WORST experience I have ever had with a business. Christina Lloyd the owner is rude and…read moreunprofessional. I complained about the class my son was in because the teacher was always late so we weren't getting our full class time and when I sat in on a class to observe she didn't even know half the kids names (Even though they had been in her class for 4 months at this point) and she was teaching them dangerous moves that she herself could not perform. Some of the kids couldn't do the move and were in tears feeling inadequate. I pulled my son out and let Christina know through e-mail what was happening. She wouldn't respond... I was asking for a refund of the recital fees (for the recital 6 months away) and the costume fees. it took NUMEROUS unanswered e-mails before she would respond and tell me she wouldn't refund them even though it was their bad service that was making me leave, and she even admitted she hadn't started shopping for the costume. I would understand keeping the money if she'd already bought the costume but she hadn't. She then became SOOO RUDE and told me that the reason we were unhappy was because my child was SLOW and unable to pick up the choreography!!! HE WAS 5 YEARS OLD!!! She said the teacher and her had discussed him before I'd pulled him out. BUT THIS WAS A TOTAL LIE! THE TEACHER DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY SONS NAME! She kept calling him the wrong name in the class I watched. DO NOT GO HERE! THERE ARE LOTS OF GREAT PLACES TO GO TO- SAVE YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILD THE HEARTACHE!
