Light That Feels Like Magic

Some memories aren’t built on speeches or menus. They’re built on moments.

A guest stepping into a garden as festoon bulbs begin to glow.

A bride looking up at a canopy of light as golden hour fades into starlight.

Friends laughing under strings of warmth that make time feel slower.

At Impact Production Group (IPG), festoon lighting isn’t just décor.

It’s a way of writing poetry in the air.

A way of giving structure to the sky, intimacy to the night, and glow to every guest.

That’s why we call them Festoon Dreams.

The Golden Hour Glow

The beauty of Mauritius is that the sun gives us a daily show. The golden hour is soft, warm, cinematic.

But when you layer festoon lighting on top of that natural filter, the effect is extraordinary. It’s like freezing the golden hour in time… and stretching it across the entire evening.

Our designers plan installations to align perfectly with sunset, so when the natural glow fades, the festoons pick up the rhythm. The transition is seamless. The atmosphere stays alive.

From Setup to Switch-On: How IPG Works With Festoons

It looks simple: a line of bulbs. But behind the beauty is craft.

We start with a site walk: where are the natural anchors? Trees, poles, bamboo frames, rooftops?

Then we design the canopy. Straight runs? Zig-zag crisscrosses? A low-hung grid above the tables?

Our team ensures:

  • Correct tensioning so the lines never sag
  • Weatherproof cables for coastal winds and tropical humidity
  • Warm LED bulbs with dimming options
  • Hidden cabling routed safely out of sight

Signature IPG Styles

  1. Dining Canopies That Glow
    Festoon grids hung above long banquet tables create intimacy, even outdoors. Every plate, glass, and smile shines in soft light.
  2. Garden Path Guides
    We string festoons low along paths or entrances, paired with candles or our fireflies effect, to lead guests like stars on the ground.
  3. Entrance Arches
    Imagine guests arriving through a tunnel of warm festoon bulbs. It’s a welcome, a photo moment, and a promise of magic.
  4. Ceiling Alternatives
    In open-air weddings or corporate galas, festoons create a “roof” without walls. They define the space without confining it.

Client Story “Starburst Elegance: A Wedding Under Island Lights”

The brief was clear: “a starburst of light meets island elegance.”

Set in the lush east of Mauritius, the celebration unfolded beneath a canopy of festoons radiating from a floral centrepiece like beams of starlight. Each banquet table, dressed in soft cream linens and tropical greenery, formed perfect symmetry around the glowing heart of the setup.

Tipis framed the lawn, blending bohemian spirit with polished sophistication, while palms shimmered with warm uplighting. From above, the layout looked like a constellation; a celebration designed to be seen from the sky as much as felt from the ground.

“I didn’t think light could make me cry. But it did. It felt like this event belonged to the stars.” –  guest testimonial.

Behind the Scenes – What You Don’t See

  • Crew testing each bulb before hanging
  • Rigging teams adjusting line heights for symmetry
  • A rehearsal dinner run-through to test dimmers
  • The final moment: when guests arrive and the glow feels effortless

Because true elegance is invisible effort.

Why Festoon Lighting Works So Well

  • Universal Beauty: It flatters faces, food, and photos.
  • Mood Control: Dimming shifts energy from dining to dancing.
