I met Joe Squared at a wedding fair event I went to. In addition, Joe Squared was the vendor my best friend used for her wedding. I decided to go with them because I was able to see their work first hand at the wedding fair and my friends wedding. We booked Joe 9 months before the wedding. We walked through the venue together and we were impressed with his professionalism and felt I could trust him to execute the vision I had in my head. When we saw our reception space, we were so happy! One of the walls of our reception was a window that looked out to a swimming pool, which we didn’t want to see. So we had draping with these string lights behind it. It was exactly how I imagined it, I think that was my favorite part. It reminded me of stars/​winter night. Perfect for the theme. Joe Squared also provided uplighting and gobo light for our dance floor. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I would definitely recommend him to others.

We had amber uplighting, draping with hanging glass ball candles, spotlight for cake, custom gobo, and sequin sweetheart table linen. It look absolutely beautiful. We had many compliments, and it really transformed the ballroom! Was worth every penny. In addition, compared to other vendors in the same service area, JoeSquared was reasonably priced.
We also had the photobooth, with gold crush backdrop, which was tons of fun, only con is there was there not a photobooth scrapbook as stated in the package. However, the other services were so well done, I still give 5 stars.

Joe and his father are exceptional! Please consider them for any type of event you might be planning on having; will beautify your space by 100x.
What I found most helpful in Joe Squared productions is their responsiveness to any and all questions and concerns that I had. Prior to making a contract with them, I gave them my vision for my wedding and they suggested different things that they offered and addressed all of my concerns in full detail. I have a long thread of emails back and forth with Joe and if you see the amount of time they took to respond to me, it was like we were texting back and forth. They are so quick to respond to my concerns and I really respect that.
They also gave a reasonable price for the amount of work that they provided. I’ve looked at other lighting companies around the bay and they were the most affordable, especially for brides on a budget like me.
Delivery time was exactly when they said it would be and they even called me and my bridesmaids to check out whether the pink tone that they put up was the one that I wanted.
All in all, I’m very happy with Joe Squared Productions. My sister will be getting married in April and I am HIGHLY recommending them to her.

Great price and service. We used Joe Squared for our arbor draping, café lights outside of our tent and uplighting inside the tent and our wedding turned out beautifully! Thanks Joe!

I used Joe’s lighting services for my wedding. I had simple uplighting and monogram done for the wedding. I was able to book them in advance and they visited the venue to help me decide what kind of design I would like. The day of the wedding they came in a few hours before to set everything up. When I walked into the venue, I was AMAZED. It looked incredible! They did an awesome job in placing the lights to highlight the positive aspects of the venue and take the eyes off the awful outdated carpet. I would definitely recommend their services!

It’s too bad you can only give 5 stars. Joe was amazing. I don’t have enough words to describe how amazing his service was. We used him for everything and he 100% went above and beyond to m make our day remarkable.
The lighting and DJ services were amazing. Joe knows what he’s doing! He picked all the right music at all the right times, the dance floor stayed packed the entire night, people commented over and over about his DJ skills and his knowledge on wedding flow and keeping things moving was more than we could have asked for.
I sat there trying to think of what else I could throw just to use his services again. I can’t describe how much lighting makes a difference. My space was naturally beautiful but the lighting and tent added an elegant touch that had our wedding guests in awe.
We spent so much time planning every little detail of our wedding and shelling out money left and right. Joe’s services were reasonable and worth every single penny and then some.
He made our wedding fairytale come true. I couldn’t be happier with the service.

Words can’t explain how impressed we were with Joe. I’m generally not one to even write reviews but his service deserves 100 stars! We hired Joe for tenting, lighting, tables, chairs and DJ service. Let’s just say we had everyone coming up to us saying it was the best wedding they had ever been too.
My biggest fear for my wedding was that no one would be dancing. We had about 200 people there. The dance floor stayed packed all night long. When I say PACKED I mean it.
Hiring Joe as a one stop shop was the best thing I could have done for the wedding. I’m not just saying it for the sake of saying it either he totally came in as a vendor and it felt like he left as family. I had 11 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen and ALL of them raved about Joe the day after the wedding.
If you are truly debating on using him for an event as important as your wedding then just do yourself a favor and book him without hesitation.
There wasn’t one aspect of his services that we were disappointed in. The lighting was so amazing and worth every penny! The tent was a much needed and beautiful touch. The chivari chairs looked amazing and clean and elegant. The DJ service was Phenomenal!
I think the best part of his service was his amazingly reasonable prices. He’s like half the amount of other people we looked into for tents and rentals. Quality service! I just can’t say enough. Best night of my life. It would NOT have been as amazing had it not been for Joe.

Joe-​squared was absolutely amazing. We found them at a wedding fair while looking for a DJ. My husband works as an engineer and deals with a lot of AV things so he was very picky when it came to the DJ/​lighting. We were thrilled to find out they offered chairs to rent for our beach ceremony as well. The chairs were great and they set up the entire beach for us, it was excellent! Joe traveled all the way to our reception location (an hour or two away) so that we could walk around and he could determine what all would be needed and how the set up would look (much more personal then looking at a diagram and trying to estimate everything!). He was in constant communication with us and the price was actually less than we were expecting. We used uplighting in the reception hall and the look it created was absolutely AMAZING. They played all of our requests and were calm and accommodating throughout everything. They did an amazing job and I would absolutely recommend them to others.

These guys are great. Easy to work with, delivered on time, and delivered on their promise to give the discount I won at the wedding show.
I rented white folding chairs from them = GREAT
And I rented a white «dance floor». I knew there would be trouble putting a dance floor on a bumpy, uneven, draught sticker lawn. So I was not surprised it was not level. But my husband was disappointed and said it looked like the kitchen linoleum. But hey, it was the cheapest I could get! And it still worked as a dance floor. I didn’t see anyone fall and I didn’t hear any negative feedback from guests.
I would for sure work with them again.

Met Joe at a Bay Area wedding expo and received 30% off total services.
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Joe was very responsive and creative with his ideas for our wedding. JoeSquared Productions took care of our basic table & chair rentals as well as our lighting, photo booth, china, glassware, etc. Truly a one stop shop. If he didn’t stock an item we were looking for — he went out and found it for us. Went above and beyond to help us out when our other vendors let us down. Highly recommended! Thanks Joe!

I met Joe at a bridal fair and won 50% off of any service that we booked. After having a one on one consultation with him, we knew we wanted to use him for lighting and DJ service. I never felt like Joe was not giving us enough attention or not putting in as much effort as he should just because we were getting a price deal. Throughout the entire planning process, Joe has been very helpful and came very well prepared the day of the wedding. During our meetings, I gave him specific song requests to play during dinner (my husband and I prefer alternative rock music), and Joe made sure to have every song available. After dinner, he played great dancing music. Our guests had a blast and many made several comments about how great of a job the DJ was doing. The lighting that he provided was AMAZING! We had 30+ lights surrounding the inside of the room, and lights outside highlighting the building. The lights made such a huge difference in the appearance of the room. He was even able to adjust each of the light colors to match the colors of the wedding, and every so often the room would fade into a different color. I can’t say enough great things about Joe Squared Productions, and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Joe for helping to make our wedding day the best day ever!

I met Joe at a wedding expo were I won a free gobo. I wasn’t going to have any lighting at my wedding but we decided to later. Joe wanted to do a walk through of the venue which he was over 30 minutes late to which I understood at the time, I commute too. On the wedding day, I walked into the reception and my DJ said he unplugged the gobo because he need an outlet for his equipment and when he plugged it back in the light no longer shined. So I had no gobo for my reception. When I saw Joe at the end he informed me that I got the gobo for free so it was no big deal. Although I did not pay for the gobo, I feel as though there could have been some kind of communication to not unplug the device. Tape the plug so that it cannot be unplugged, tape the remote so that if it does become unplugged we have the remote to turn it back on, tell someone at the venue (including the bride and groom) the dos and don’ts of your equipment, or have a sign. Anything. But none of this was done. Joe showed me a picture on his phone of what it looked like when he set up and before he left. It was beautiful and well done. But he was the only person who got to enjoy his job well done. So unfortunately I have to give Joe 3 stars for his lack of communication, enthusiasm, and professionalism. The lights that did work looked great just heed my warning.

Joe was excellent! His prices are very reasonable and he was very proactive. He always showed up on time and returned calls promptly. The lighting made a huge difference in my venue (an older historic residential building). Really transformed the space and was money well spent. I couldn’t be more pleased. Definitely would hire him again for any special event!
