We rented lanterns and room dividers from Perkins for a wedding at the American Visionary Art Museum and were very pleased. The staff at Perkins was great to work with, and everything looked perfect. We highly recommend their services.

My experience with Perkins was AWESOME! Perkins Productions provided both lighting for my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception along with pipe and draping for the reception. I had a great experience during all aspects of the wedding planning and I highly recommend Perkins for lighting and decor services.
I planned most of my daughter's wedding as she lives out of town and attending flight training. I researched and received 6 different proposals for lighting. Throughout the decision process, Perkins was extremely professional and quite helpful. My daughter and son-in-law were married in the MD Science Center Planetarium. This venue required special lighting to highlight the couple during the service and I wanted to make certain the lighting was perfect and not cheap looking.
Perkins not only had experience working in this venue but was very reasonably priced. Working with Leslie and Gene was wonderful. They were professional, provided expert knowledge and great suggestions at each phase of the planning process. The were extremely responsive, flexible and made me feel reassurred every step of the way.
The evening was Magical. The lighting in the planetarium was magnificent and the pin spots and uplighting provided a wonderful ambiance during the reception. I highly recommend Perkins ! Special thanks to Gene and Leslie for making my daughter's wedding a truly magical event!

Leslie and Gene are amazing. They were able to add lighting to my venue with only two weeks notice! I was so relieved when I called them to ask for lighting for my 9/10/11 wedding to hear Leslie was flexible and sweet enough to work with me. They installed the day prior and took down the day after. I will recommend Perkins time a million. And the lighting was beautiful! I would use Perkins again in a heart beat. =) Thanks so much Leslie, Gene and the whole Perkins crew!

My now husband and I hired Perkins to provide florals and pipe and drape for our recent wedding, April 23, 2011. All I can say is WOW!! The Perkins Staff (Sheila) did a fantastic job! The flowers were breathtaking. I received so many compliments throughout the entire evening. They turned out better than I envisioned. I cannot thank Perkins enough for their work. They were professional, friendly, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them for wedding florals. Again, thank you for playing a part in making my day so memorable!

Perkins delivered completely. They had everything we wanted including an amazing white dance floor, pipe and drape and tons of white cloth. Everything was in top condition, and they made it very easy to work together. I would never use another company!

I thought Perkins and Eufloria were awesome!! We met and discussed the vision for the evening. When I arrived at the reception site I was blown away by how we were exactly on the same page and it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Multiple people at the wedding commented on how they loved the flowers. It made the event. Lighting was perfect too. I knew they were recommended by the venue so I left them to do their job--I didn't contact them much because I knew they were pros--and they came through as expected! I did ask run a few ideas by them about additional features and they were very honest and right on about what would and wouldn't be good to add. I really appreciated their honesty--and it wasn't about just making money for them--it was what really made sense and would look great and be worth it. Love them!! Use them!!

I met Shelia with Eufloria through Perkins Productions. She had great ideas and a great personality. Shelia was up to date on what works and suggested really good ideas but didn't push anything on me. I gave her my colors and a general idea and she flew with it. My centerpieces were gorgeous simple and vibrant. She added a green palm leaf that was wrapped around inside of the vase, it was so neat and worked with the hot pink roses. The flowers my girls carried were vibrant and bright. The arrangement and choice of hot pink flowers she used for my bouquet worked so well together. All of the flowers fit into exactly what I had in mind. They were also delivered on time right to my hotel room where we were getting ready. I was very happy with how everything turned out.

I wish there was a rating above 5 because Perkins deserves it! They did the lighting and decorations for our wedding ceremony and reception (we also used their flower company - Eufloria). Everything was AMAZING. We got sooo many compliments it was unbelievable. They are wonderful to work with and have really great and modern ideas for decorations. I also didn't realize it, but lighting makes all of the difference in the world for the reception and ceremony rooms. I HIGHLY recommend Perkins to everyone!!

If you want to completely transform a space--call Perkins. Case in point: When we arrived at their offices, we were concerned because it looked like a warehouse space. We were completely wrong. When we walked in, we found a gorgeous space that was decorated with taste, style and creativity.
We worked with Linda and Gene Perkins and were extremely pleased with the service, the attention to detail and the pricing. We ended up requesting a stage covered in white for our ceremony, 30 paper lanterns, green uplighting and a floor-to-ceiling green curtain that gave the space the 'wow' factor we wanted.
Your dollars will be well spent with Perkins. Not only did I love the design and decoration, I loved that I neither had to set it up or take it down or figure out what to do with the decorations once the reception ended. Perfect!

Loved working with Leslie and Gene Perkins. They make a great tag team...creative and kind. They treated us as if we were family. They go the second mile to make everything perfect. Our tent looked so beautiful!!! (and we are fussy) Do not hesitate to hire Perkins Productions.

Perkins Production took a peach and green room and transformed it into a beautiful Winter Wonderland. They created snow tunnels of light airy fabric with lights and hanging snowflakes at each entrance and draped the entire room with uplighting. They pinspotted the tables, hung backdrops, you name it, they did it. What impressed me the most was they went the extra mile. I hired them to drape off the stage. When they did that they noticed that there was a second area behind the stage and red was showing. They took it upon themselves to drape off the second area so the effect we were trying to achieve was accomplished. They went above and beyond and were key in making the room beautiful and as I envisoned. They were professional, knowledable, accomodating, nice and easy to work with. HIRE PERKINS!!!

We were absolutely thrilled with the quality of service that Perkins Productions provided for our wedding. Their knowledge and experience helped us to bring our vision to life, as can be seen in the "Maryland Bride, Spring/Summer 2008" issue. Their services were exceptional, from the dance floor, lighting, staging, and decor. I highly recommend Perkins Productions!

Perkins Productions added the perfect touches to our wedding. They worked with us to create several lighting and design elements that transformed our reception tent from a blank canvas into an elegant and beautiful space. Perkins filled the tent with lighting in our colors, provided a beautiful and unique dance floor and band stage, and used fabric swagging to make the tent appear more intimate and festive. Our guests loved the design and all commented on how different and unique the wedding looked. Perkins also used a special art rendition of our names to create a "gobo" light on the dance floor. Perkins worked quickly, were very responsive and easy to reach, and really knew weddings. I highly recommend Perkins.

Perkins Productions were simply amazing. We interviewed three façade companies and they were by far the best price and the best quality. They totally changed the look and feel of the room. The whole setting was romantic and beautiful. I can’t say enough about how impressive Perkins Productions is. Hire them if you want to have a beautiful setting for your wedding day.

We used Perkins Productions for our lighting - we had uplighting and pinspot lighting, as well as these huge chinese lanterns that hung over the dance floor. They were great to work with and did a fantastic job getting everything the way we wanted it to look. They are very knowledgeable and very easy to work with!

Perkins made my reception beautiful. I had lanterns and pinspots on my florals. They placed a curtain of lights behind my altar which dressed up the space tremendously. They made my reception romantic and unique.

Perkins did both our Pipe and Drape and our flowers. Their florist sat down and reviewed exactly what we wanted, made changes easily and stayed well within our budget. They were very professional and even arrived early to set up.

Perkins was one of my ideal vendors. When we met with them at our venue and discussed my vision, they gave me suggestions for ways to make the vision come to life. I wish more vendors did this, instead of just taking orders. They provided a proposal listing all of our options and allowed us to chose the ones that we wanted a la carte style. We made adjustments up until the last minute, yet Perkins suggestions truly transformed the room and made for high style reception pictures. They did everything that we discussed.
They are a "mom and pop shop" that know what it takes to make your room pop. I felt that for the price that we paid, we should have been provided with some sort of small discount or free item, but pricing is average for the industry. I recommend them.

We utilized Perkins' for the decor in our ceremony and reception. We were very pleased with the way everything looking, the draping, lighting, pillars, etc. The only issue I had was responsiveness. In their defense, I believe that Perkins was in the process of moving to a new location, but still I was frustrated that I had to leave several messages in order to received a call back. I understand that they are accustomed to working much more elaborate/expensive weddings than ours, so we couldn't help but wonder if we were getting less attention because of that. Overall we were pleased with the way things turned out, and feel that their decor really added to the ambience of our wedding.
