Comments from our Clients...

Pinspot cake lighting from Dallas Light and Sound
"Craig was amazing at our wedding yesterday!
He had to implement a last minute rain plan,
...everything turned out beautifully."

From the beautiful Angela Adams Fleider who wed her sweetheart Rich Fleider on a very rainy day at Texas Discovery Gardens on Sunday, September 16th.

Craig Canant, DLS Event Designer and Dallas Light and Sound's manager for events at Texas Discovery Gardens made it work on a day that could have turned into a disaster. Craig and out team worked with Bridal Associates, TDG staff and the Bride and Groom to move the wedding ceremony from outside on the Grand Allee at TDG into the Grand Hall. Cocktails moved into the Butterfly House while the Grand Hall went through a quick "transformation" from ceremony site to a seated reception. A beautiful evening was the result. Congratulations to Angela and Rich, may you enjoy a lifetime of happiness - and thank you for your kind comments.

In a seperate note sent to Dallas Light and Sound event manager Craig Canant, we were delighted to find these lovely comments...

Thanks for your personal attention and touch at Sarah and Bartow's wedding at Texas Discovery Gardens on August 18th.

Despite the torrential downpour, the wedding was a smashing success by all accounts. The lighting and its level worked out really well.

The food was great, the flowers beautiful, and the band rocked

(and managed to find enough power with your help).

Best regards,
Joe and Cathy McCall

It was an honor to play an instrumental role in providing a wonderful experience for their daughter and her groom. To see images of weddings and receptions at Texas Discovery Gardens,  visit our facebook page a www.facebook.com/dallaslightandsound

The traditions and designs from centuries ago are passed within families of artisans, with every generation adding their modern interpretation.
