Rodney is a man of his words! We had ordered heaters for my daughter's baby shower and he delivered on time. The heaters were in good condition worming us up all afternoon. I definitely recommend this business if you need heaters for your party. He is such a nice person to work with! Thank you Rodney! If we ever need anything I won't hesitate to contact you. read more

We hired Rodney for our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club. He came very highly recommended by the OAC team, and did not disappoint. We did our due diligence researching options and requested comparison quotes, but Rodney won out in a landslide. He has extensive experience at that venue and was very easy to work with. It took us a while to settle on the ceiling lighting/lantern design and we ended up coming up with a new idea, which Rodney was excited to bring to life. It was also really helpful that he has a stockpile of miscellaneous items available for rent as well, so we were able to consolidate the number of vendors we were coordinating with (and as a typical wedding couple who's never planned anything like this before, that made a big difference). Thank you Rodney for bringing a magical ambiance to our day! One of our favorite memories is a quiet moment on a garden bench as the night wrapped up, watching the lights twinkle.

We had a great experience working with Rodney for our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club!

We really appreciate Rodney's flexibility and making all our lighting/heating need come true last minute!!! read more

For a 4-day wedding celebration at the Ralston White Retreat in Mill Valley, Rodney provided floating paper lanterns on the porch of the mansion and also uplights to the surrounding redwood trees. The effect of the above created a wonderful, cozy, romantic vibe. Rodney himself was very prompt in his communications and honest in his recommendations. We would definitely hire his services again in the future if the need arises. Highly recommend! read more

Rodney was great to work with -- he was very responsive and professional, and he provided a lot of examples of other lighting setups at our venue to help us visualize what we wanted.

Rodney made our simple event venue absolutely beautiful with his touch. Do not hesitate to hire him for your next event! read more

Thank you so much for everything you've done for us! My husband and I got married at a pretty low-key, bare venue, and Rodney completely transformed it into our dreamed wedding! He casted gobo lighting with our logo on the ground, added elegant lanterns to the ceiling, and helped set up the patio with a portable fire pit and heaters. Rodney didn't just do the bare minimum. He really went above and beyond by visiting the venue multiple times, dropping by a few times for setup, and giving us lots of helpful advice throughout. He has so much experience from being in the catering business and picked up little details that would transform our wedding venue space. Everyone loved the lanterns and the gobo lighting. His setup has made a night-and-day difference on the venue and made the wedding so cozy and warm. read more

Rodney setup lighting, outdoor furniture, and heaters for our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley. He was great to work with and accommodated some of our last minute additions.

Rodney from Marin Event Lighting was fantastic to work with for our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club. He provided various lighting configuration options for the front patio area and indoor reception space. He worked within our budget constraints for lighting and made some helpful recommendations on what would look best (he knows the venue well). The lighting setup was even completed before our arrival. We highly recommend his services, especially for events at the Outdoor Art Club. read more

Just witnessed a stunning transformation of a simple bare event space to fairytale wedding venue using elegant lantern arrangements. There's even a customized light design. Truly amazing work!! He's detail oriented, thoughtful, and full of design insights read more

We really appreciated Rodney and Marin Event Lighting for their support of our recent wedding at the OAC - the space looked beautiful, the heaters on the patio were much appreciated by our guests, and his help breaking down the space after the event was over was much appreciated. We and our guests loved the disco ball - it made our dance floor dreams come true! Would definitely recommend Rodney and Marin Event Lighting to others. read more

Rodney did the market lights, photo arch, and the lighting in the reception area for our wedding. We loved everything that he did for us! All our guest complimented on how nice the reception area looked. Rodney responds to emails fairly quickly. He went to the venue to make sure that there was enough space to set up our photo arch. We had phone meetings with him to discuss the vision that we wanted for our wedding. Rodney spoke to other vendors on our behalf to see what kind of rental equipments they had to match our theme. I would highly recommend him to take care of the lighting for your event. read more

My husband and I really wanted to drape one wall of our venue for our wedding, but it seemed difficult to find draping vendors who were able to do this at a reasonable price who were also available the day of our wedding. I was getting anxious as our day was getting closer and we still hadn't found anyone. Then I found Rodney and everything was better! Rodney is amazing to work with. Right from the start he was very quick and responsive to all of our emails. He had worked our venue before (Mill Valley Community Center) and was familiar with it, but even so he still made a trip in person to the venue to ensure that the draping of the wall we wanted would be perfect and exactly what we asked for. We were even able to meet Rodney the week before our wedding when we went to visit our venue and he was there setting up for another event. The day of our wedding Rodney was there very early setting up and he came right after reception as well to take down the draping. Unfortunately, on the day of the draping ended up being shorter than we had agreed upon, but when we mentioned this to Rodney he was extremely kind and willing to give us a refund. I would highly recommend Rodney for any of your draping needs and was so happy with the draping that I felt like made our special day even more special! read more

Simply put, Rodney was amazing and we would recommend him to anybody. He installed market lighting, pyramid heaters and LED votive candles for our Friday Night rehearsal/welcome reception in the Old Mill Park and then market lighting, dance-floor lights and pyramid heaters for our Saturday wedding at the Outdoor Art Club. He was instrumental in transforming the redwood grove where we had our welcome reception into an absolutely breathtaking space and our guests were blown away at how beautiful everything was. People actually used the word "magical" to describe the night and told us that it was quite possibly the best Friday (before a wedding) party that many had attended. We had a lot of guests that traveled from the East Coast and we were thrilled to be able to highlight the beauty of Northern California with Rodney's help. Beyond just the lighting itself, Rodney was a dream to work with. He gave us design and seating ideas and referred us to great local vendors. He was extremely familiar with our venues and their key points of contact including the folks at the Mill Valley Parks Department. He even reached out them on our behalf to make sure everything we wanted to do was feasible. He was also nice enough to leave the lights up at our Friday venue until we were done breaking everything down. Otherwise we would have been trying to do so in the pitch black. Last but not least, Rodney has a very calming presence which was a huge help during the times of stress that came along with planning a whole weekend's worth of wedding festivities. I even called him frantically for advice when we had a slight hiccup (that had nothing to do with him) about 1.5 weeks before our wedding. He helped put me at ease and everything worked itself out, as things tend to do! read more

Rodney was very professional with our rather last minute need for lighting. Although he was already busy, he accommodated our request and promptly sent a contract and an easy payment mechanism.

Just called to get a quote. We're renting a house to host our party. Rodney was questioning our place and being rude to us over the phone. I saw good reviews from others, but Rodney definitely isn't someone I want to deal with. read more

Rodney is amazing to work with. I called him on a Thursday evening for a Saturday wedding (the weather forced us to move inside) and he not only went and scoped the site first thing Friday AM, but was one of the first vendors on site the morning of the wedding. His drapery truly transformed the room and it would have been very bland without him. I highly recommend him! read more

Rodney did a great job and went above and beyond for our wedding. When he first set up, the lighting over the dance floor wasn't exactly what I had imagined, though I didn't want to complain about it because it wasn't a huge problem. Rodney worked with the venue to install the lights in the way I had originally imagined and they were perfect. I appreciated how flexible he was and how he went out of his way to accommodate the change. Also, per our caterer, his pricing is super competitive. Highly recommend! read more

Rodney was referred by us from Outdoor Art Club and Cater Marin, and we are so glad we went with him! From the start, it was super easy and straightforward to work with him. We asked for 3 rows of lights inside the reception hall of OAC, and on the day of the lights looked amazing! We'd highly recommend Marin Event Lighting! read more

I am a Florist who was pleasantly surprised to work with Rodney at a recent event. I always like to arrive early to set up the flowers and Rodney was already at the venue and ready to set up. He offered to lend me his cart to haul the large vases to be used on the tables and after setting up his lights made himself available to assist the clients with their finishing touches. As a Vendor, It was a pleasure to work with him and will recommend Marin Event Lighting to my floral clients in the future. read more

We worked with Rodney for our son's wedding in early September at Slide Ranch in Marin. He was extremely helpful in determining what we would need for this outdoor and somewhat remote site. He was always professional, timely, personable and easy to communicate with. We felt the cost of service was quite fair. Best of all, the end result was perfect! Thanks Rodney! read more

We recently used Rodney (Marin Event Lighting) for our indoor/outdoor wedding reception held at our home. Rodney was, by far, the best and easiest vendor to work with for our wedding. He performed well above our expectations, was friendly, dedicated, and hard working. In fact, we loved Rodney so much that my bride invited him to the reception! For the amount of work Rodney put in, his price was a steal. We couldn't be happier to recommend Marin Event Lighting without hesitation. read more

Rodney did a fantastic job with the design and installation of lightning and decor at our wedding reception. He was personable and professional and a pleasure to work with.

He made the process easy and fun and I would hire him in an instant for future work. Thank you so much! read more

Rodney worked with my husband and I to do the lighting at our all outdoor wedding at Slide Ranch in September. He knows the venue really well and was knowledgeable about exactly what we would need there. He was really easy to work with and was accommodating about a last minute request from my mother to add more heaters. The end result was incredible. The lights looked so magical, and lots of guests commented on how well it was done. Thank you, Rodney for helping make it all come together so beautifully! read more

Rodney did a fantastic job creating a beautiful space in our backyard for our son's wedding reception.

He was a pleasure to work with-very flexible and diplomatic! And he always followed through with all his commitment on time and on budget! read more

Marin Event LIghting had all the difference in the backyard wedding reception yesterday. Rodney had every possible way to make our backyard look like a resort, all with lovely lights, multiple treatments and a magical air about it. He kept listening to what we needed and gave us flexibility and astonishing options. We ended up with lights about 3 feet off the ground surrounded with subtle lights on poles you cannot see nearby, and a fire pit in the back of the property and small lights on the steps. As the sun sets the magical light appeared in subtle layers and overall, making an event so that people stayed until hours after the event was scheduled to end. They loved it and so did we. Then, the next day, Rodney arrived and cleared the area, all with his caring and enthusiasm for the event and what it meant to our family. I recommend Marin Event LIghting without reservation and with enthusiasm. Choose Marin Event Lighting! read more

Service exceeded expectations - how refreshing! We were having a party in the backyard and the weather turned very cold. As a desperate measure, I called the day of the Saturday party to inquire about a heater lamp not thinking I had a chance. Rodney was setting up 3 parties that night and said it was not possible which I totally understood. But then he asked me where I lived. I happened to be close to where he was unloading and he said he'd be by in an hour as he was coming through on his way to unload for his next customer. So he DROPPED the delivery charge. I'm sure he doesn't want me to share that but instead of gouging a desperate hostess, he helped me out in a number of ways. What a human. We need more of him. Thank you Rodney. read more

Rodney with Marin Event Lighting is amazing! He helped our school set up and decorate our annual fundraiser party, and the venue looked absolutely beautiful. Rodney is great to work with.
