Quality Lighting Services
Custom Event Lighting Design for Southern California
- Founded 2017
- Nearly 30 Years of Industry Experience
- Serving All of Southern California
Since 2017
The room is already there. Light changes how people remember it.
Candlelight Designs, Inc. does lighting only, on purpose. The same ballroom can host a product launch, a gala, and a wedding in the same week. The furniture barely moves; the light does all the work. We built the company around that fact.
We take responsibility for how the room feels, not just what we deliver: no AV packages, no rental-catalog padding. And because we've stayed founder-led, the person who designs your lighting is the same person in the room on event night.

What We Do
Services
From a single perfectly-aimed pinspot to a ceiling of ten thousand stars. If it's lighting, we design it, deliver it, and run it.
Uplighting & Ambient
Wireless uplights and color washes that set the tone of the entire room: warm, dramatic, or anything in between.

Gobo & Logo Projection
Monograms, corporate logos, and patterned texture projected in crisp light. Your brand or initials, everywhere it matters.

Pinspotting & Accent
Focused beams that make centerpieces, cakes, and décor glow. The detail planners notice first.

Stage & Dance Floor
Podium washes, band lighting, moving heads, and dance floor energy. From keynote clarity to full party.

String, Market & Twinkle
Bistro canopies, string light ceilings, and starry-night twinkle installations. The most requested look in event lighting.

Outdoor & Architectural

The Candlelight Difference
Why Work With Us
Planners hire us twice: once for the light, and every time after that for how painless it was.
An Extension of Your Event Team
Strategy calls, venue walkthroughs, floor-plan markups, last-minute changes. We fold into your planning team and handle the lighting layer end to end, so the run-of-show never waits on us.
Premium Fixtures & Backup Gear
Every fixture is tested before it leaves our shop, and spares ride on every truck. The look you approved is the look your guests see, no exceptions.
Expert Technicians On-Site
A lighting technician runs your cues live: building energy on the dance floor, easing off for dinner, and holding a clean, camera-ready look the moment someone lifts a microphone.
Clean, Cable-Free Installs
Wireless fixtures, tucked cabling, early load-ins, and clean uniforms venue managers greet by name. At Candlelight there's no other way to operate.
