Phoenix, AZ — March 10, 2026 — Captivate Event Rentals, a leading provider of event rentals and design elements for unforgettable experiences, is proud to announce the acquisition of Valley Event Lighting (VEL), a premier lighting company known for transforming event spaces with expertly designed illumination.
Valley Event Lighting specializes in a wide range of event lighting services, including elegant bistro lighting, uplighting, stage lighting, custom monogram projections, and more. The addition of VEL to the Captivate Event Rentals family expands the company’s ability to deliver more complete event production solutions.
“This acquisition allows us to elevate what we offer our clients,” said Matt Berry, co-owner of Captivate Event Rentals. “Lighting plays a powerful role in shaping the mood and visual impact of an event. Bringing Valley Event Lighting into the Captivate family allows us to integrate that expertise directly into our offerings and create even more immersive experiences.”
