Twilight Design

Wow wow wow!!! Jeff took my vision and made it a reality. We had a pretty complex job for our wedding. Tons of chandeliers and vintage bulbs over a very large stretch of lawn. It was breathtaking. I actually could not believe my eyes. Jeff is practical, honest, organized and can very obviously execute on a vision. He provided picture schematics and was very timely in his installation. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff and twilight designs to anyone planning a wedding or any event!

Jeff Mills of Twilight Designs just did the lighting for our daughter’s wedding! It was wonderful, and I would highly recommend this company. He created a romantic look with a series of small lights on the ceiling at the reception… very pretty, and just right! Everyone loved it. He was also very easy to work with, and professional. Highly recommend this company for adding the extra special lighting touches:)

Jeff puts together more thoughtful and venue-​specific lighting plans than some of the rentals vendors for whom lighting is just an afterthought or side business. Jeff is also generous with his time and reasonably flexible.

Jeff is responsive and organized and great to work with. We weren’t sure what sort of lighting would look good at the venue or what exactly we would need, but Jeff was more than prepared with beautiful ideas that were also within our budget. Twilight Design’s lighting can really transform a space from ordinary to wow. We also found their pricing to be the most competitive, without sacrificing any quality. Selecting wedding vendors can sometimes feel like a minefield, but you can’t go wrong with Twilight.

We hired Jeff from Twilight Design to do the lighting for our wedding reception in the barrel room at Cline Cellars. We had no idea what to expect regarding lighting costs, and it quickly became apparent that the budget we set would not allow us to have the lighting features that we wanted. Jeff listened to our wishes and then prepared a proposal with a variety of options. He first identified the items that he felt were necessary to adequately light the space. He then listed a variety of «optional» items – things we said we wanted and that would add elegance to the space, but that would put us over budget and were not actually necessary lighting features. Four different chandelier options were proposed, and we were able to hold on this decision until later in the panning process, when we had a better sense of what our overall costs would be. Jeff also offered suggestions on how we could cut costs – keep a bigger dance floor without patterned lighting, or shrink the dance floor in order to keep the pattern wash we wanted, for instance. Jeff was incredibly responsive throughout the whole planning process, and I was so grateful that he offered so many options and really tried hard to be respectful of the budget we had first stated. Now that the wedding is over, I have taken some time to look through photos of our reception, and the lighting absolutely brought the space to life – it was stunning!

Who knew throwing a wedding would be such a production! And the reception was an academy-​award winning one, to say the least, thanks to Jeffry of Twilight. Our planner Jackie Jones put us in touch with his team and they were just amazing. They came up with the most magical plan for the lighting at our event — we had the reception at Cline Cellars in the barrel room and as my dad put it «it needed a lot of work.» Ha. It’s pretty industrial, and while I could see it, my dad had a tough time envisioning the place transformed into a warm, wonderful, cozy reception. And with the help of Jeffry’s team, we did just that and then some. People from Cline on duty in the tasting rooms/​environs were sneaking into the room and taking «breaks» to look at it because they were in such awe of how it had been transformed. The reception still has people talking and I know the lighting had a LOT to do with it. We had chandeliers, votives, a stencil splash on the dance floor, everything you can imagine, and it was all just stunning. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Hire. them. now!

Jeff at Twilight did the lighting for our wedding reception. He is wonderful to work with. After showing my initial interest I had a full proposal, matched to my budget within an hour. He was exceptionally professional, and made the entire vision happen without me knowing. I still have not met Jeff in person, he was like a ninja on our wedding day. But I know his work, and it is fantastic. Jeff is not the cheapest in the area, but his work is well worth it. Having a professional of his caliber was worth it for something as crucial as keeping the lights on. The ambiance he created blew our guests away. It truly made the reception magical.
If you can afford Jeff, you should absolutely choose him. Top notch.

I am surprised that there are not more good reviews for Twilight.
My experience with them was wonderful. Top notch in fact.
We recently got married at Dawn Ranch Inn… we had people flying in from all over the world and we wanted it to be a ‘perfectly lit’ weekend.
I enjoyed working with Jeffry, short and sweet is his way of dealing. Tell him what you want and he delivers.
Friday night we held a sioree’ around the pool and the lighting was beautiful and perfect. I loved the fact that, had we wanted to change the lighting that the whole set up was on dimmers.
However, the «tour de force» was the wedding in the apple orchard…
It looked absolutely magical, far more beautiful than I had imagined. I am a candle freak and had candles everywhere and told Jeffry that I wanted all the lights to look candle lit. they did. Everyone looked gorgeous and everyone commented on how spectacularly lit the orchard was.
Jeffry also went above and beyond in helping us out with the sound system that was playing music on site for the weekend. We needed it to be set up for the rehearsal Friday afternoon and have it moved to the party site for Friday evening and then to be taken back to the orchard for the wedding ceremony the following day. The music was very important to us and since it was running through an iPad needed some extra cables, Jeffry took care of it all and made sure it was all working perfectly.
All in all, I would highly recommend Twilight design to do an excellent job, from someone who insists on life being as perfectly lit as possible!

Fyi — just wanted future Unilocalers to know that Jeff was really nice about this less than positive review and sent a long email apologizing for giving me tense moments whilst wedding planning.
I still standby my personal experience, however I would like everyone to know that my husband was perfectly happy with our interaction with Jeff, so this review may be down to an emotional bride recounting bridezilla moments.
Twilight Design did pull through for us and provided a stunning setting for our twilight wedding reception. To err is human…

Although we ended up not going with Jeffrey, we felt sad about our decision given how nice, cooperative, and helpful he was. He even coordinated with our venue manager to visit our site to give me a quote. He really seems like the kind of guy that will go above and beyond to do a great job. All in all, you could tell he would be great to work with. I’d highly recommend him!

Jeffry was helpful, accommodating, and very flexible as we changed lighting designs about 3 times for our May 2010 wedding. Everything was set up exactly as we expected and looked great. He really knows his stuff and did a great job.

Twilight Design provided beautiful lighting that made all the difference for my wedding reception! Jeffry was also really easy to work with, met with the event coordinator prior to our reception to set up details, and they have great selection of unique, trendy lighting. We had an outdoor wedding reception at Brix Restaurant in Yountville that was beautifully decorated with grape vine lanterns — it really set the atmosphere for the evening.
I definitely recommend booking them much in advance of your event — I was lucky to have them available for my September reception which is a very busy time because of harvest season in Napa. I had reviewed other lighting vendors, but their selection just did not compare with what Twilight Design had.

Jeffry is awesome! The lighting at our wedding was perfect (and had never been accomplished at our venue!). The lighting created a soft glow and was not florescent at all. He always responded to my questions/​emails and even helped us rent/​set up a generator for the band.
Thank you Jeffry!

Stunning custom lighting for special event rentals. We had our wedding reception outdoors, in the late afternoon followed by an evening of dining and dancing alfresco. Chandeliers on shephard’s hooks were tucked into lines of thin tables, to create a scene out of casablanca.
The dance floor had streams of custom-​made lanterns. Special accents were created along the bench areas and to highlight the wedding cake. It’s always about the lighting to create the ambience.
Jeffrey was a fantastic communicator, aligning power needs with other vendors as well. I believe Jeff and team can custom make lighting for purchase as well!
