Pacific Event Services

What Pacific Event Services does

Pacific Event Services is a full-service event production company headquartered in Burbank, California (with a previous office in Van Nuys), founded in 2007 by Marc Weinstock. The firm designs and executes lighting, audio/visual, staging, power distribution, and drapery for weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, galas, fashion shows, and holiday installations across eight Southern California counties. Its technical portfolio includes custom gobo pattern projection, video mapping onto surfaces such as wedding dresses and cakes, and a stated emphasis on LED lighting that consumes up to 90% less energy than traditional incandescent sources.

The company operates a one-stop event production model: complimentary design consultations, integrated technical design, field-based installation crews, and on-site execution for both enterprise and social event end-markets. Named clients span Tesla, Lululemon, Spotify, Loyola Marymount University, Sony PlayStation Studios, Riot Games, Victoria's Secret, The Honest Co., and the Natural Resources Defense Council; marketing relies on earned media in bridal publications (Wedding Chicks, Style Me Pretty, Grace Ormonde, Strictly Weddings) and outlets such as the LA Times, People Magazine, and E! News, plus referral-driven acquisition from event planners and venues.

Pacific Event Services is a privately held LLC organized in California and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Santa's Helpers Lighting, LLC. The business is family-owned (Marc Weinstock and his brother David Weinstock), with 11–50 employees, no disclosed institutional funding, and no public revenue. Pricing is quote-based and confidential. By 2012 the company was reportedly running up to four weddings per weekend on referrals alone; recent activity includes an active jobs page and website, and a 2017-launched Virtual Events service line alongside the core on-site production bundle.
