They always have something wonderful for any occasion and their gift card selection is really great. Much of their merch is customized or hand done - you just won't find a store quite like this around. Walking by after New Year's I noticed they have a sign that says "Store Closing Sale." You hope this means they are happily retiring. Whatever the case, this is a good time to support the transition of a longtime business here. Thanks guys for everything - I hope it's been a great journey for you too.

Holiday Lights responded quickly to my request for a quote and explained what services and products they offer. When the time for installation came, they provided a window during which they expected to arrive our house and kept us updated when they unexpectedly ran behind schedule (not an issue for us). The installation team was quick and professional, and explained what they were doing. We had no issues with the lights at all despite a very rainy and windy holiday season. The removal process was just like installation--quick and professional. We are very pleased with this experience and looking forward to using Holiday Lights again next holiday season!

Working with Alexandra (who I found through my wedding planner) was honestly kind of magic. For our…read morewedding, I sent her a bunch of different things as inspiration. Some color themes, bouquets from her Instagram that I liked, and random floral elements from other Instagram pictures. Looking back, it probably was not the most cohesive set of references, but somehow she was able to turn all of it into exactly the florals I wanted. When I saw my bouquet for the first time, I literally said out loud, "wow, that's exactly what I wanted," even though I don't think I could have clearly described it myself. She somehow understood the vision better than I did.
