We used Light Up Your Holidays for the first time for the 2023 Christmas season and were thoroughly satisfied and extremely pleased with the company from start to finish! From the initial zoom meeting, to the detailed descriptions and pictures of the proposed lighting, to the set up and customer service interactions, to the removal of the decorations, and most importantly - to the beautiful overall appearance of the lighting of our home and gazebo!! Everything was top notch and we will definitely be hiring Light Up Your Holidays for future festivities! The owner Kelly and her staff were great to work with! Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Light Up Your Holidays to decorate my house for both Halloween and Christmas, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, their team provided exceptional service and delivered stunning results. For Halloween, they created a spook-tacular display that wowed everyone in the neighborhood. The designs were intricate, the lighting was eerie, and the props were just the right amount of spooky. It truly transformed my home into a haunted masterpiece! The Christmas decorations were equally impressive. The festive lights, elegant wreaths, and charming accents brought warmth and holiday cheer to my house. I loved coming home each day to such a beautifully decorated space. Throughout the process, the Light Up Your Holidays team was professional, creative, and attentive to detail. They listened to my preferences and tailored the designs to suit my home perfectly. Their customer service was exceptional, and their dedication to ensuring my complete satisfaction was evident every step of the way. Not only were the designs and service top-notch, but the quality of the decorations was also outstanding. Everything was durable, well-crafted, and held up beautifully throughout the holiday season. Overall, I am thrilled with the services provided by Light Up Your Holidays. They exceeded my expectations in every way and made my holidays truly special. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to add some magic to their home during the holiday season. Carina

Kelly and her whole crew were AMAZING! She has incredible responsiveness, clean and modern design, and quality product. Then lights are interwoven within the greenery so you can't see an cords. The wreaths are breathlessly beautiful. I also love how the company donates time to decorate homes for people in need. I strongly recommend!!!

Wonderful. Kelly and her team really decked our halls. Four elves came to our home, measured, and selected appropriate ornamentation for our house. Very professional, nice, and did a great job. As a bonus, they remove and store in their workshop until next year. Will definitely use them again next year!

If you're not using Light Up Your Holidays, you need to as it is a great service at an economical price for your home. We turn our lights on the day after Thanksgiving and keep them going until the middle of January so we can enjoy how great our house looks because of Light Up Your Holidays.

Our home holiday lighting is amazing and puts the whole family into a wonderful holiday mood every year. The lights are tastefully arranged and produce a classic look for our home. When a service issue arises which is rare, their service team arrives quickly to make the repair. Our holidays would not be the same without Kelly's special touch. We are very happy clients.

Kelly and her team do an amazing job! This year I had them decorate the outside of my home (front and back!) and they also did the interior. My family and I enjoyed every minute of the holidays - the place looked fantastic and there was no stress in putting the decorations up or taking them down. This was my second year with Light Up Your Holidays and I'm hooked - I wouldn't trust my holidays to anyone else.

Kelly and her team have been great to work with. She did a terrific job with the design and her installers are reliable, professional and detail oriented. Everything is ready to go and checked out before they arrive and all we have to do is flip the switch. And if there is any issue or outage, there is a dedicated response number and email that gets almost immediate response. We’ve been very happy, get compliments every year and have been using Light Up Your Holidays for the past 6 years as a result. We highly recommend them.

We have hired this company over the course of several years to install Christmas lights. Each year the price goes up and the quality goes down. Tree light strands are skimpy are seemingly tossed from branch to branch. Our complaints were apparently met with nonchalance, because no improvements were made. We will not be hiring this company next year.

Response from Light Up Your Holidays
[Member Name Removed] was misinformed. For 2 years now we have decorated the common courtyard of [Member Information Removed] Village. Last year we received one service as a few strands of lights were loose in the trees due to high winds. We have a policy to rectify the issue that same day or within 24 hours. We fixed the issue and did not receive any further service calls. We have decorated for the association for 2 years and the price has not changed - we lock in our client's price for 3 consecutive years! Contract prices are based on the amount of lights that we install. We have installed the same amount of lights each year at [Member Information Removed] Village. If we had know during the season we could have addressed her issue.

We have hired Kelly Fitzsimmons, owner of "Light Up Your Holidays" Christmas Lighting service for almost 10 years. We are extremely pleased with the holiday decor they provide, their service, the professional installation crew and dependability. When Kelly tells you that your Christmas lights will be installed or removed on a certain week...you can rest assured the work will be done! If there is even the slightest issue with the holiday lighting installation or timers, her service crew is there ASAP to resolve it. We couldn't ask for more in quality and customer satisfaction for our outdoor holiday lighting!

We have been a customer with Light Up Your Holidays since 2007! It is one of the best decisions we have made in having our Christmas lights and décor installed by Kelly and her team. The process is seamless - it couldn't be easier. Kelly's crew is neat, organized and treats my home and the trees like they are their own - and that is very important to us. The service is unbelievable - we wanted another strand of lights on a tress and Kelly had it taken care of within hours our request. They even come back periodically to check on the lights to ensure they are working properly. Many neighbors tell us they can't wait every year to see how our house is decorated. You won't be disappointed when you hire Kelly - she has a great eye for design and her products are of great quality! We always ask Kelly to put us last on the list at the end of the season for removal because we love the way the house looks.

Yep it?s a true winter wonderland made so by everyone at Light Up Your Holidays!! I have been a customer for many years and I remain so because Kelly and the crew make it so easy to have the perfect holiday décor and pretty much maintenance free. They show up, they install, I set the timer and done!!! If anything needs immediate attention or repair they are on it right away. No more hanging out the window or on a ladder in a snow storm to try to get it right. At the end of the season the crew shows back up and carefully removes all of it. Highly recommend Kelly and crew for perfect holiday decoration every single time.
