As always, you and your team did an incredible job this past week for a very important client at the Mayflower! From the flower design, to the special lighting adding to the atmosphere and the impeccable audio equipment delivering outstanding sound, you helped me make the event a very memorable one.

Thank you,

Dear Brian and Mariella, I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for all you did to make our party a success. With your wonderful atmosphere you just turned this canvas into an incredible theme. I do not know what we would have done without you. Thank you, Thank you.

Big Wave did a great job contending with some real challenges, and the sound and lighting was excellent.

I used Big Wave’s expertise for fabric draping and lighting needs. Mariella and her team beautifully draped the ceiling, center poles, and support poles of my wedding tent. They also draped bistro lights under the tent to compliment the fabrics. In addition, the team uplit many surrounding trees to create a beautiful ambiance, backlit the stage as well as installed spotlights to highlight the band. Mariella and her team were extremely detail oriented and thorough. I was immensely pleased with the final result and received compliments all night long from my guests on how magical the tent looked. Aside from being talented, Mariella was also easy to work with. She offered suggestions throughout the entire planning process and was always quick to respond tom my emails. I highly recommend Big Wave Events!

The lighting and drapery for the ceremony were wonderful. The ambiance for the ‘Afterparty’ at the Mayflower was very cool. Everything looked amazing! You and Mariella were an absolute pleasure to work with.
