Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works..\n Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to aarontristan39@gmail.com with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away.\n Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's\n 225 for 11x14's\n 275 for 14x17's\n After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. \n The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

"This is going to be a long review, so we will start with the positives: Ashanti was nice & her assistants were helpful & worked very **** ** the wedding day. We also had a music system issue about 15 minutes before the ceremony, & her husb& rushed over with a speaker for us to set up so that we could have music. This is where the positives end & the negatives & unnecessary stress begins with this vendor: TL;DR- Ashanti & JJ Ash Events lies, deceives, & does not provide adequate services for the price!!!!! & we have the receipts to back it up! To start, when we were interviewing her for her services (pre-hiring, 2-3 months before the wedding), she implied that tablecloths, flatware & chair covers were included in the package ($1500) we paid for. We thought that that was an ok deal. At our venue walkthrough a month before the wedding, she mentioned that she also had great votives, an arch, flatware & uplighting that she would bring. Later, to double check, we asked “that’s included right?” based off of the way she was talking. NONE of that was included in the price we paid. No linens, no chair covers, no decor, nothing. Those were an additional ‘$300 package’ that she didn’t tell us about. & the disposable flatware wasn’t included in that package; that was an extra $60 on top. Total was $1,860 (over $360 what we were quoted) Throughout our 2 months of “coordination”, it would take several days/weeks to get responses back to our questions/concerns & she had to be reminded of things we asked for multiple times. For example, when we asked for a vendor payment timeline based off of our vendor contracts (month & a half before wedding), we did not receive it for over a week, causing us to miss a payment. Then, when we did receive one (after we reminded her), it was incomplete & inaccurate almost causing another missed payment. She claimed that she contacted our vendors & confirmed everything- Videographers did not hear from her until 2-3 days prior to wedding, Hair & makeup were NEVER contacted, Photographer was only first contacted 3 DAYS before the wedding after we called her out saying he had never heard from her. Then she lied to us saying that she’s been trying to contact him for 2 weeks with no answer! (Photographer is a professional friend, who we had regularly asked if she had reached out to him- which she hadn’t). We would not have had any of our vendors if we had not kept in contact with them OURSELVES, because many never knew who she even was until day of. We asked her a few days before the wedding the amount of tablecloths & other things she was bringing, she assured us it was “enough” but would not give a number. On the day of the wedding, she did NOT have enough, they were not steamed like agreed upon, & their steamer was not adequate enough, so they had to borrow the mother of the groom's steamer. She showed up to the venue half an hour late, & was still setting things up as guests started arriving (4 hours later, small venue with only ~25 guests). Instead of getting ready with the bride & socializing, bridesmaids chose to help completely set up front room & steam the tablecloths because she was running so behind & it would not have been completed in time. Right before the processional, one of the bridesmaids had a dress zipper issue which took 15 mins to fix. Ashanti stood in front of every guest & announced to the entire venue (including our ceremony livestream) that there was a dress malfunction for one of the bridesmaids, causing a delay. You’re not supposed to say that anyone has a dress issue in this industry because that could make the person self-conscious & bring attention to the issue. During the evening, the bridesmaid confronted Ashanti about the incident & Ashanti denied, saying “When did I say that?!”, when we have multiple witnesses & a live stream to confirm she did in fact say it. As we were about to make our reception gr& entrance, she tried to move the first dance to immediately after the entrance & before we ate. She was told by the groom that we wanted to eat first, but to ask the bride about it. She found the bride & TOLD her we were doing the first dance first, then told the groom that the bride had okayed the change. The bride & groom discussed seconds before the gr& entrance that neither of them had wanted the change & had to tell the DJ themselves that they were not doing the first dance before dinner. After a guest got sick during the reception, the groom's family started to clean up the mess. When asked if she could find a mop (didn't even ask her to clean it, just to help find one), she said there wasn't one after not even trying to look. The groom's parents had to search for it & found it almost immediately because it was not hidden; just in a cleaning closet. She generally did not seem to know what was going on during the entire 2 months. We had 10+ people mention that they felt the need to apologize to us because of how poor of a job Ashanti was doing. 3 weeks after our wedding, after we received our professional photos, we stumbled across JJ Ash Events social media & saw that she took some of our wedding photos of our DIYed decorations that we made (custom, painted signage & table place cards) & advertised that she “offers signage”. This was not something she had advertised to us, & all of the pictures she used to advertise were of our homemade creations that she did not help create in any way. She took our intellectual property & photos & passed them off as her own without our knowledge. She only deleted the posts after we requested via email that she do so. Overall, we had a very negative experience with JJ Ash Events & do regret it, but we want to warn as many people as possible to stay away from this vendor if you value your money & time!!!!"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Elizabeth City, NC

If climbing ladders or handling wiring isn’t in your comfort zone, hire a pro. Look for installers who post clear per-foot or hourly rates, carry insurance, and have solid reviews. Comparing at least three quotes helps you spot fair pricing without sacrificing safety. Skipping credentials to save a few dollars can cost you far more in repairs, so pick a qualified team and enjoy a safe, eye-catching display.

Yes, booking between February and September often scores lower rates because demand is light and pros have open calendars. You might even negotiate a discount package that includes removal or storage. If the budget is tight, ask whether a handyperson or an off-season permanent-light install makes sense for your home and timeline.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. 

For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping isn’t mandatory, but it’s a nice way to thank your installer for a job well done. Most homeowners offer 10% to 20% of the total bill or round up to an even figure if the crew exceeds expectations. A small extra goes a long way toward showing appreciation—and may help you snag priority booking next season.

Yes, you can install holiday lights yourself if your property layout is straightforward and your electrical system is secure. Homeowners who are confident in their ability to safely handle wiring and use proper equipment can save money with a DIY approach. 

However, it is crucial to test all outlets thoroughly and secure the proper ladders and safety gear before starting. Careful planning and adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect yourself and your home while achieving an attractive display.

Start by clearing the area of loose debris, damaged shingles, and anything that could trip you up. Test outdoor outlets and, if you’re unsure, bring in an electrician. Use a sturdy extension ladder (or scaffolding for very high spots) and never work alone—having a helper steady the ladder is non-negotiable. Taking these simple steps keeps you, your roof, and your new lights safe.
