Cult Creative - Testimonial
Cult Creative is a creative design and production company, working with a range of high end clients, global brands and members clubs to produce striking, one-of-a-kind live events.
A key part of bringing the company's events and parties to life is the lighting service provided by the Dragonfly Lighting team. For around five years the company has supported Cult Creative on events ranging from 100 people to around 2000, all from initial site visit to completion.
“They’re brilliant,” says Cult Creative’s Lucas Barnfield. “We wouldn’t use any other lighting company. Dragonfly work with us to creatively design the brief and always go beyond what we would expect from a tech provider. If we have a site visit, an expert technician will always come on site, we can bounce ideas off each other or they will execute our ideas excellently and creatively. You couldn’t ask for a better package than what they offer.”
The Dragonfly team have supported Cult Creative across Christmas parties, New Year’s events, Halloween parties, Pride and more, always working closely with the client to understand the brief and provide something great-looking within the given budget.
“They always provide what looks like a £150k party, they work very well with budgets,” continues Lucas. “They’ve got a vibrancy to their team and there’s a passion that shines through in the work. It’s not just ‘turn up and get it done’, it’s ‘how can we make this bigger and better?’. Even if it’s a small event they always go above what we would ever expect.
“I would never have a bad word to say about them. It’s been an overwhelming positive experience. Creatively and technically they are excellent. They follow it through; from the creative stages and concept stages all the way through creative development and execution.”
When asked what sets Dragonfly apart, Lucas says, “It’s a very personal service. The lighting engineer who comes on site visits will be the same person who works with you on the day. By the time the project comes to execution they know it really well. We always think we have good ideas but they make it 1000 times better with what they bring.
“Dragonfly are next level, not just reliable and trusted – which is imperative in any working relationship – it’s the level of detail, the level of creativity and the standard of execution. It brings them together into a package that sets them apart. Nothing is ever impossible with them, as we’ve found out. However crazy it is and elaborate, no is never an option.
“It’s definitely highlighted the importance of lighting for us, it makes or breaks an event and they’ve shown that. It complements what we do perfectly: we design and build sets and the lighting is the icing on the cake.”
