"Overall the wedding/reception went well.  The pricing is fabulous if you reserve on a Sunday rather than Friday or Sat., less than 1/3.   <br /> The hall is nicely decorated, has a separate room for buffet and bar.  The tables/chairs are nice and they also supply linens but they did suggest us using one of their vendors.  There is a dressing room in the back of the hall for a bridal party to dress.   The day of the wedding/reception the rain was pouring down and there was no mat inside door but once I made a suggestion to the owners, I was told that a mat would be purchased for future use.  The inside decor is black and white and would work with any other colors you want to add.  There is a nice size dance floor as well.  We were very pleased with Lumina Hall and had numerous comments on how nice everything looked.  I would recommend this wedding/reception hall to anyone.  <br /> We had the hall from 9am Sunday morning until 6am the following morning which gives you plenty of time to decorate and afterward, remove all your personal belongs. "

"It went very well. I contacted this artist to create a stunning and lifelike self portrait. I then sent photos and payment. In less than a week I had a stunning rendition of myself in both pencil and watercolor. Lance is always courteous and professional. I highly recommend his services to everyone and will do business with him again soon!"

"Scott, very professional. Was on time both for the inspection and for the work. Knows his business, did a great job on installation and repair. Cleaned everything up. Did not leave and debris. Very informative about process and the repair. His price was much better than the other 2 bids I received. No one would have done a better job.. It's a real pleasure to have someone who is dependable, honest, and good at what he does. <br />"

FAQs for holiday lighting add or remove projects in Southport, 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.
