James at Coastal Events hooked us up! We got along with him really well and he was super easy to talk to and had a lot of knowledge about what would work and what wouldn't for our wedding. He really knew how to turn this big, old, ugly hanger into a beautiful dream wedding venue! We also had DJ James do the music and got a photo booth & heaters through him too! The whole night was magical and I am glad we had James there to help us make it a day to remember! Thanks again To James and everyone at Coastal Events!

We hired James for indoor and outdoor bistro lighting at our wedding in September. He was extremely responsive and professional, and answered all of our questions. He also checked in regularly to see if there was anything else we needed. He was able to answer all of the questions that our venue had as far as set up, and they appreciate his quick and detailed responses. The lights turned out absolutely beautiful on the day of, and really made a difference in the look of the room. I would highly recommend using Coastal Events!

Hiring James & Coastal Events as our DJ and lighting provider for my wedding was the best planning decision I made! I guarantee you will want James at the helm of any event you throw. I got married at the Camarillo airport hangar, which I was really excited about since it was so unique but I was nervous about how to pull off a wedding there and make it look romantic. Enter James - he had so much knowledge of the space, has the technical skill and the crew to do big things like rig up amazing lighting and fabric panels, and he also knows how to DJ and host a great party that is both fun and
