Red Carpet Events & Lighting

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. Film premiers, charity events, private parties, fashion shows and press conferences.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Before I worked in the red carpet business, I didn't realize that the key ingredient involved in those beautiful red carpet photos we see on tv and magazines is the LIGHTING! The photographers, of course, frame out the lights and stands as they're not the most glamorous part of the picture, but it is the key ingredient to making sure the photograph turns out beautifully. An experienced lighting designer who knows how to minimize or eliminate shadows is the photographer's best friend.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. We understand what makes a party an event, and what makes an event truly memorable. Every time we roll out a red carpet, it adds an extra sense of excitement and sophistication to the evening. More than just providing a beautiful backdrop for photographs, it creates a memory for our clients and their guests. We strive to provide flawless service on highly complex projects.


My favorite part of what I do is being a part of capturing the excitement. You wouldn't roll out the red carpet for anything less than a momentous evening. I love helping my clients and their guests celebrate in style and seeing the joy it brings.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. What do you do?
We provide the red carpet, stanchions, velvet ropes, step& repeat, lighting and equipment for your next event.

What is a step and repeat?
The backdrop, usually with a repeating pattern, behind the red carpet and ropes.

Is the step and repeat backdrop included?
We have 6 convenient rental packages, it is included in 4 of our 6 packages. Our 2 intruductory packages do not come with a custom step/repeat, we have a blank black or white backdrop suitable for photograhing.

Do we have to set it up?
NO, our lighting professionals are highly skilled in setting up lighting for photographers, they will setup the equipment before your event and take it down after all your guests have had their chance to walk the red carpet.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. That red carpets aren't just for the rich and famous. Primarily we are hired for film premiers, BUT anybody can hire us, for their birthday party, wedding, sweet 16...the list goes on! Have red carpet and ready to roll it out for your next event, it will heighten the excitement of your guests and let them know you truly have gone the extra mile to make the event FABULOUS and OVER THE TOP!!

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. We lit the red carpet for the official Monster's Ball after party AND benefit for GLEH (Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing project). We donated the red carpet for the event, it is always rewarding to give back to the community and if we are able to do so in our own unique way...we are more than happy to do so!

Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

A. Our most recent project was a film premier in Beverly Hills at the Laemmly Theater. It involved a tech scout the week prior and aprox 2 hours of setup time.

The customer recieved red carpet, velvet ropes, 8x15 step/repeat backdrop, exterior lighting, interior lighting, covered check-in tables with chairs, and two lighting designers to setup.
