Meet the team
Serving Los Angeles & Orange County for nearly 20 years.
At Lights Up, our journey began with a heartfelt mission: to provide not just the best outdoor and indoor lighting and decor services, but also to create memorable experiences for our clients who we treat like family.
We understand the importance of families and communities coming together to celebrate special moments, especially during the holidays. Unlike many temporary holiday lighting businesses, we take pride in our artistic approach to design.
Our friendly team is fully licensed and insured, highly experienced, and uses premium industry safety practices. We also provide each client with their own dedicated account manager to ensure they get the VIP treatment they deserve.
Our approach
We recognize that too many holiday lighting companies rely on one-size-fits-all designs, often sacrificing creativity and personal connection. Many of these businesses fall short in customer service, leaving clients feeling unheard and unappreciated. We believe you deserve better.
That’s why we take the time to carefully inspect your outdoor spaces, landscaping, and architectural features, truly listening to your vision and needs. By thoughtfully considering how we can bring your spaces to life with light, using a variety of fixtures, bulbs, and unique placements, we strive to create enchanting displays that enhance beauty and warmth after dark. Our process is designed to be smooth, responsive, and professional, making your experience enjoyable every step of the way.
We’re also deeply committed to giving back. A portion of our proceeds goes towards providing food, toys, and clothing for children in need during the holidays. We believe that by supporting these young lives, we contribute to a brighter future for us all.
Together, let’s create something beautiful while making a difference in our community. What a great gift to give to yourself and others.
Giving back
At Lights Up, we’re not just your average professional lighting designers, we truly care about making a difference! With our experience, reliability, and a fantastic track record, we also love to give back by volunteering our time and resources to those who need it most.
Every holiday season, we pick a cause to support, and we’re excited to spread some joy during this special time of year. For the 2024 holiday season, we’re thrilled to have chosen Proyecto Pastoral.
This amazing nonprofit in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, is all about social justice and building a strong community. Their mission is to empower the Boyle Heights community through grassroots projects focused on education, leadership, and service. Each year, they touch the lives of over 6,000 children and families through programs like early childhood education, youth development, homeless shelters, and community organizing.
We’d love to hear your suggestions. If you know any organizations we should consider for our 2025 holiday season efforts, please send us an email.

January 2025
In the wake of the devastating Pacific Palisades fire, the community was left grappling with immense loss and widespread destruction. Homes were reduced to ash, and the familiar landscape was scarred by the flames. Amidst the heartbreak, a beacon of hope emerged from an unexpected quarter: the dedicated employees of Lights Up.
We weren’t just individuals fulfilling a corporate social responsibility initiative; we were volunteers driven by a genuine desire to help our neighbors. Donning our Lights Up shirts, a symbol of their unity and commitment, we descended upon the affected areas, ready to lend a hand wherever it was needed most.
With shovels, rakes, and an unwavering spirit, the Lights Up team tackled the arduous task of debris removal. We cleared charred remnants from properties, carefully sifting through the rubble, sometimes unearthing small, precious mementos for families who had lost everything. It was back-breaking work, often performed under the hot California sun, but their resolve never wavered.
Beyond the physical labor, Lights Up offered something equally vital: compassion and a listening ear. We spoke with families who were navigating the initial shock and grief, offering words of comfort and solidarity. We helped connect victims with resources, shared information about recovery efforts, and simply stood by them as a reassuring presence.
The impact of their efforts was profound. For many families, the sight of us, tirelessly working and offering support, was a crucial first step towards healing and rebuilding. Lights Up didn’t just clear debris; we helped clear a path forward for a community struggling to find its footing. We transformed a corporate identity into a symbol of community resilience and the powerful spirit of human kindness. We proved that even in the darkest of times, when people come together, it can truly reveal a great path to recovery.

“Lights Up Today rates well over 5 stars. Very easy to schedule both install and removal. They are quick to respond to calls and texts if you have an issue with anything. They update you on when they will be at your house which I love. And most importantly the lights are beautiful. Highly recommend Lights Up Today.”

“Lights Up Today was a great experience. This is our second year using them for holiday lights. It is fairly priced and high quality lights are used. If you have any questions or issues, as bulbs may burn out, they have excellent customer service to come by and fix any issues within 24 hours. I’d recommend them to all of my friends.”
