    Rayne Events is Amazing!!!

    I first worked with Amil for my daughter’s graduation party about 7 years ago. So when my daughter got engaged I knew I wanted to work with him again for her wedding. Rayne Events provided lighting, drapes, audio and visual for my daughter’s wedding. They provided the DJ booth that included a monogram on the front of the booth and the seating for the sweetheart table. Amil and his team did an incredible job. The end result was fabulous. They completely transformed the ballroom with the drapes. The drapes were fantastic!!!! Amil is always very professional and a pleasure to work with. He was so accommodating with any questions that I had and changes that I wanted. Amil always answered me right away and was a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. Every aspect of what he did was outstanding and the room was beyond my expectations. I received so many compliments. I highly recommend Rayne Events!!! Use them for your next event. You will be so grateful that you did!!!!!!

    I've worked with Showtime Events and Amil before and he didn't disappoint. Our guests absolutely LOVED the lounge area for our wedding. It was very fitting for our cocktail reception. The set-up was exactly what I wanted based on discussions with Amil our vision for our cocktail reception at Newton White Mansion. Our floor plan was actually his idea based on what we wanted; he hit he nail on the head. I would definitely recommend Showtime Events to any future couple looking to personalize your wedding reception. You and your guests won't be disappointed. Thanks again Amil!

    When we picked our venue we were in love with everything except the drab walls in the reception space. Lighting and draping were not an expense planned on when we got started with our wedding planning. After a few disheartening meetings I found Showtime on wedding wire, not only is their pricing some of the best around but the service and quality are great. We worked specifically with Amil and Tiffany, Tiffany was great coordinating and answered all of my emails and questions promptly. We met with Amil only once at the venue to take a look at some lighting, he was great, made recommendations and was patient with us as we decided what shade of lavender works best – I had no idea there were so many. The day of the crew was there to set up our ceremony lighting and then in the hour to change from ceremony to reception moved the lights, changed the colors and moved the drapes. I would highly recommend ShowTime to anyone in the DC area, especially working with Tiffany.

    Showtime Events did an amazing job creating the look I wanted for my wedding reception! My goal was to turn the hotel ballroom into a nightclub and I was so impressed by the job they did. My guests were blown away and couldn't believe they were in a hotel when they entered the ballroom. Several of my guesst asked for his contact information for their upcoming events.

    Their furniture is elegant, high quality, durable & clean (which is very important) and the draping was simply stunning! They have a very large inventory and their price was very reasonable. I also used them for uplighting, which totally set the mood. From my very first interaction with Amil, the owner, I was impressed. Even though he works very hard and stays busy, I was always able to connect with him or his assistant, whenever I needed anything or had a question.

    I would definitely use Showtime Events again and recommend them to anyone looking for lighting & decor.

    Showtime did a phenomenal job lighting our wedding! We had an outdoor reception in downtown DC and envisioned bistro lights twinkling overhead and just enough uplighting to bring the venue alive at night. Showtime hadn't done string lights like that before but they were game to give it a try--they also convinced us to add a custom gobo monogram to the package. They were wonderful to communicate with and consummate professionals throughout the process, not to mention very reasonably priced. The lighting we ended up with was perfect. It gave us atmosphere and a subtle wow-factor that was better than anything I could have dreamed up. Highly recommend working with them!

    I would recommend Amil and his team to any of my friends. Amil was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, and he was very flexible given our timing and budget constraints. We needed to pull together lighting, lounge furniture, and draping for a large venue for a wedding reception for about 110 people. We had about one month to plan everything, so thankfully Amil was able to pull everything off for us in that little time. We ran into some equipment problems - the draping was too heavy so we couldn't create the overhead draped look we wanted - but Amil was able to pull together a back-up plan at the last minute and make the space look pretty. We were delayed by about half an hour, so it was a bit awkward having guests come in while furniture and equipment was still lying on the dance floor, but the bar and food were flowing so I think people just shrugged it off. In hindsight, this was the preferred method, because Amil could have just scrapped the draping idea altogether, but he instead came up with an alternative way to decorate the space, which ended up fitting beautifully. Most importantly, he was very apologetic and he gave us a commensurate discount for the materiel costs and inconvenience. You really couldn't ask for a better vendor to work with. Things will go wrong on big events - that's expected. But you want someone honest, quick-thinking, and capable to handle those mishaps, and Amil is your man. He always kept his cool, was the consummate professional, and he was truly an honest broker. Really a gem in this line of business.

    Very smooth from start to finish and always extremely helpful. On the day our of wedding, the staff were very efficient, setting up all of our lighting quickly and without any issues. The reception looked amazing and we would definitely recommend them.

    I don't even know where to begin to describe how thankful I am to this company and Amil....they literally saved my wedding. I received a call on the Tuesday before my wedding from my venue (which was in the process of moving to a brand new location and was supposed to be finished in January) telling me that the venue would not be ready in time for my wedding and I couldn't have my reception there. They moved it to the hotel across the street. I was devastated. I went from this cool, hip venue space to a bland old hotel ballroom. Thankfully, my sister-in-law is an interior designer and knew how to liven the space up, starting with a phone call to Showtime Events. She called this company and spoke with Amil and told him my story...and she said he dropped everything to help her out in every way possible, despite the SUPER short notice (2 days) and despite having other events on the day of my wedding. She handled everything with Amil and she could not stop raving about how awesome he and his company was... they bent over backwards to make my reception space look PHENOMENAL. Offered to bring extra things, went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Amil, you saved my wedding. It looked so, so good.... amazing lighting, really cool lounge chairs and LED furniture... and then he was right there at the end of the reception clearing everything out.

    I can't believe this company and Amil did this for some unknown bride. I was a wreck the entire week and you were the ones who made everything okay. I am forever grateful to you. Thank you so much.

    I cannot thank you enough for helping for us with a wedding that far exceeded our expectations. I could not have dreamt a more beautiful wedding, with incredible lighting to help create such an elegant ambiance. Words truly cannot express how happy we were with your services! All of our family and friends are still talking about how elegant our venue space looked. Thanks again for making our day special and allowing our guests to enjoy themselves.

    We rented lounge furniture, and a bar from Showtime. They brought exactly what we ordered, set it up just the way we wanted and remove it promptly. I would definitely use them again.

    Amil and Showtime Events did a great job for our school's post-prom event. Amil met with us at the venue to discuss options, provide guidance and suggestions and he followed through with diagrams and pricing as promised. His pricing was very competitive and he worked with us within our budget. The staff for the event showed up early and did a great job of setting up and making sure everything was perfect and as planned way ahead of time. No stress due to worrying about a vendor showing up late, etc. Everyone on his team was professional and they got the job done - including breakdown on a timely basis. The students loved the vibe Showtime Events created and i highly recommend them for future events.

    Showtime events and crew were great! They were professional, on time, pleasant to work with and provided overall excellent service.
    Our wedding décor and lighting was exactly what we wanted! Sexy and swanky. All our guest said it looked amazing and the best wedding they had ever attended.

    Showtime Events was amazing!!! Amil was always responsive, professional and easy to work with. When we met at the Sunset Room for the first time and we discussed our vision, he said " Ok, it got it!" And did HE get it. The lighting was the perfect compliment to our floral decor and the Gobo he designed was gorgeous! I would highly recommend Amil and Showtime to anyone in need of lighting.

    My wedding turned out to be so beautiful thanks to Amil!! He was so flexible with me deciding on the perfect lighting I wanted for my wedding. He was so patient and took a lot of time to show me the different lighting options. Everyone commented on how beautiful the room looked that night. The uplighting done by Showtime Events created a warm atmosphere. I was so happy with the final product. I remember being introduced into the venue and had not seen the room prior and once we both set foot into the room, I was impressed with how beautiful the room looked. It was exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend working with AMIL.....The best!!!!

    I met Amil over a year ago to discuss furniture rental and lighting for my wedding. His prices were extremely responsible for the services I needed. He came to my venue to give me suggestions on what things to use for my event. He was on time and very professional. Even though I had an event planner, I would contact Amil directly and he always responded promptly. He did not try to sell me services which I did not need. He also has a great personality and approachable. His furniture was in excellent condition and I felt that my money was well spent. My guest loved the lighting. He even surprised me with the backlighting for my ceremony. I was expecting a white backlighting but he put the tiffany blue backlighting. I was in awe when I walked down the aisle!! He truly exceeded my expectations and I will use him for my future events/parties.

    I had a vision in my head and Showtime events brought it to life. They over exceeded my expectations and everyone who walked into the venue for my daughters sweet 16 party was blown away. They took a bare ordinary community center and turned it into an upscale "Miami Looking Nigh Club". We had random people in the area peeking in and inquiring if a celebrity was going to be there... It was truly amazing and the Showtime Events staff were great. Very professional, courteous, and they went above and beyond the call of duty to make this a memorable day.

    I absolutely loved my wedding because of Showtime Events! They did an amazing job from the initial meeting all the way up to the wedding. They delivered big time! From the first meeting, I was able to feel comfortable moving forward and retaining this company. They were very professional and orgainized and asked me what my vision was and they helped me create it and that made less work and less stress for me. Amil did a great job making sure the lighting around my stage was the specific color that I wanted because of my photographer.

    I should have had them do everything at my wedding instead of using different vendors. The draping, the lights and the lounge furniture really made the ballroom look amazing.

    I will be using this company for every future event I have.

    Thank you so much for everything!!!!

    I called Showtime Events for lighting for my husband's retirement/birthday party. It was a pleasure to work with Amil. He was very responsive to calls and emails and offered so many options for my event. I chose blue uplighting with a custom gobo. I used to think lighting was a nice addition, but after Amil's team installed the lights, I realized that it was the single, most important aspect of the party. It completely changed the look and feel of the room from a stark hall to a gorgeous, upscale looking space.

    The custom gobo shining on the dance floor was a hit. The team were early and were there promptly at clean up time. I would definitely recommend Showtime Events for all your lighting needs.

    Our venue looked amazing thanks to Amil from Showtime! He even threw in extra lights just to make sure our venue looked it's best. Amil was even kind enough to attend the venue walk-through with us to help recommend what lights would look best in the ballroom. We highly recommend Showtime to anybody looking for lighting at a great price!

    Showtime Events, Inc. helped to make my vision for my anniversary celebration come to life. The transformation of the venue into a chic, lounge atmosphere was more than I imagined. Mr. Mendez was very accommodating and went out of his way to ensure that I was a satisfied customer. I would not hesitate to use his services again.
