We have a tough piece of property to get lights up to feel the Christmas spirit! It’s a wonderful light designed a beautiful display, maintained and came right over if we had any issues! Highly recommend their services!

“Our house looks amazing.”
Our house looks amazing! We decided to have lights installed to honor my parents who recently passed and we now own their home. The It's a Wonderful Light crew did a fantastic job and were super friendly. The entire experience has been wonderful working with their company from the estimate and design to installation. The lights looked so good that the food delivery driver last night asked if he could take a picture of the lights because they were so beautiful! Thank you It's a Wonderful Light so much for making our Christmas so much brighter!!

A few years ago, our HOA contracted Its a Wonderful Light to annually set up holiday lights in the entrances of our Subdivision. We have been extremely pleased with the service and outcome. So much that my husband and I personally wanted our home decorated as well. The technicians did such a great job with the lighting, we were extremely impressed with how well the wiring was concealed. The lights were full and beautiful. Very professional!! We would recommend this service to anyone looking for professional holiday lighting.

Max is awesome! Super professional and easy to work with. He even reached out before the season started to get us on the schedule … way before I had even thought about it! Communication was great the whole way through! Bonus points for wearing a Santa hat while putting up the Xmas lights . My 4 and 3 year-old absolutely LOVED it! Highly recommend Max!

“I have used Its A Wonderful Light for the past two years.”
I have used Its A Wonderful Light for the past two years. They are phenomenal. Stephanie in the office is a sweetheart and makes it so easy to plan out the display and get a quote. The team comes and is very professional and has the house lit in a couple of hours. Then they come and take everything down after the holidays - I don’t even need to be home. It is soooo much easier than trying to put the lights up and takedown myself. Plus no having to find storage space for all those lights. My neighbors stop by to tell me how much they enjoy my lights and even have a countdown for when the timer will go off. If you want to make your holidays a bit easier and a bit brighter, I highly recommend IAWL.

I have been using It’s A Wonderful Light, for at least 10 years, and I could not be happier! They arrive at my house in the morning and about five hours later they are finished and there are lights and one of my trees. They make my house a fabulous showcase for the holidays!

Great people to work with! They've responded quickly to my questions and concerns. They sent me a picture to show me how the lights would look once installed. Very satisfied.

“We've used a few different lighting companies over the years, and It's A Wonderful Light has been by far the best.”
We've used a few different lighting companies over the years, and It's A Wonderful Light has been by far the best. We have a VERY large tree in front that we like to light, and they provided the best combination of a reasonable rate and high quality job. In fact, they got to the absolute top of the tree, which no vendor has ever done before (even though we've paid more). We will definitely use them consistently going forward!

“We've had the pleasure of working with IAW for two years straight for holiday lights at our home...”
We've had the pleasure of working with IAW for two years straight for holiday lights at our home and give them our strongest recommendation. First, initial scheduling is super easy and friction-free, and they require no work or inputs from our side - they simply show up and get the job done, then provide us with a couple basic tips to understand timer settings etc. Take-down is similarly easy. This year is the first time we had to request service - a squirrel had chewed a wire which caused water exposure and our lights shorting out. The team was out here the morning after we submitted a support request and immediately diagnosed and fixed the issue. Their support and service is fantastic, and there's a clear difference between IAW as a specialty contractor versus some of my neighbors that have used their landscaping company or other general service providers, with mixed results. We will continue using IAW in future years.
