Mark and his team are INCREDIBLE! He took my vision and made it a reality. He was an absolute joy…
Mark and his team did a strung light set-up in a field for my wedding. There was no existing structure and they brought everything in. They were quick to respond to e-mail, very professional and easy to work with. On a site visit we described what we wanted which turned out to be quite a bit more difficult than the set-up in the picture we had been baselining. Day of the result was exactly what we asked for. Could not have been better. After watching them put construct the lighting for 12 or 13 hours the day before… worth every penny. This was one of the best vendors I worked with for my wedding.
I could not be more pleased with how the lighting & decor turned out. Everything was absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for helping make our day so special!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for everything you contributed to making our wedding the most amazing day of our lives. We could not have asked for a better weekend, team, and experience. We will never forget it – you were all unforgettable and amazing. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your support, hard work and sponsorship for the Casino Royale event. Your incredible vision & talent is amazing!

We just wanted to say thanks for doing a great job with the lighting of our wedding. The lighting looked GREAT!
A HUGE thank you! Your team went above and beyond,
like beyond the beyond. I can’t even express how amazing it was working with your team, they were by far the nicest and most helpful people we encountered in Maryland. Cheers to you and your staff!
Can’t begin to thank you enough for making Heather and Lance’s day absolutely beautiful! It was better than I could’ve imagined. I know when we talked about it during planning it was going to be wonderful but it was absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for everything.
Your efforts and equipment transformed that “drill room” into a fantasy theatre! That was a ton of work, and we are SO grateful for your energy and passion for TIS and our mission. It’s people like you that have made it possible for us to help transform lives.
I wanted to let you know that the guys did an amazing job this evening with the curtains and the lights!! It looks absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for all of your help!!

On behalf of the Downtown Denton Main Street, I would sincerely like to thank you for the sponsorship you provided for our 6th Annual Supper at Sunset.

Thank you again for the wonderful job you and your crew did last weekend.
I just wanted to thank you again for all of your amazing help for Home for the Holidays. It was really magical, and we got so much great feedback from the community. We literally could not have done it without you!

The Process
Say Hello to Mark!
What Happens When You Meet With a Lighting Designer?
You’ve just met your wedding caterers and you’re happy with your menu. Now you are shaking hands and being introduced to a nice man named Mark R. Peach who’s here for your consultation meeting for your special event lighting design.
Share, Imagine & Inspire
Time to share those great ideas you found on Pinterest and add a few of your own!
During your consultation, you’ll share the important details like the season, date, time & location of your event. Mark will ask you a few more questions about the venue, the lighting’s purpose (dramatic, functional or both) and the setting. This is a great time to share Pinterest boards, talk about ambiance and mood, colors and themes. If there are activities planned that require special consideration, be sure to mention those as well. Think about any features in the room you might like to highlight or camouflage. Want custom gobos, fetes, chandeliers, or lanterns? Mark’s up for the challenge. (Take a look at some of the Design Options for more ideas.) Mark will cover all of these questions and more, discuss your budget, and thank you for the opportunity to assist you in creating your ideal event.
Research, Design & Propose
This is where it gets technical.
Your lighting designer will then research the power availability and the dimensions within the venue. He’ll draft a plot, or map, of the design, taking into consideration structural capabilities, electrical availability, security, transportation, labor, equipment availability, and aesthetics to come up with a proposal for your event.
Discuss, Tweak & Approve
Putting it all together.
Arrangements will be made to meet or speak again to discuss what he’s drawn up and any changes and concerns you have. Once the design and budget are agreed upon, Mark will draft a contract that reflects these for you to sign.
Relax & Enjoy!
Rest easy knowing that you’re in good hands.
Mark prides himself in attention to detail and is very willing to work with your budgetary constraints to provide you with the look and lighting you need to make your special event memorable. Now, just relax and enjoy your special day!
Design Options
There are many lighting options to choose from when designing an event. The lighting designer’s job is to help you create the effect or atmosphere you are looking for. Explore some of the possibilities below. From timeless chandeliers to modern gobos, from popular fetes to gorgeous lanterns, trust On Your Mark to deliver the ambiance that takes your event to the next level.
Ambient Lighting
Indirectly focused into a ceiling, lights create an overall soft light known as ambient lighting.
Fete Lights
Create an outdoor festival feeling with lower wattage light bulbs strung on wire and suspend between poles or drape around the corners of a building or ceiling.
Balloon Lights
Light inside a balloon illuminates an area with ambient light.
Mirror Ball
Hang this over the dance floor and a pin spotlight creates a room full of sparkle and stars.
Up Lights
Beams focused upwards on columns, curtains, walls, trees, or other structures highlight that particular feature.
Gobos & Custom Gobos
Light inserts made of metal or glass cast a light pattern, or custom design, onto ceilings, walls, or floors.
Explore more options here.
Dance Floor Lights
Colored and synchronized lights jazz up a dance floor.
Drapery
Create elegant walls and soften a room with textiles in various textures and sizes.
Focused downward onto table tops or floor, this is a dramatic lighting effect. Try coordinating colors with your theme.
A special moving light called the Abyss mimics moving water shadows. Click the image above to watch a demonstration of the Abyss in action.
