The Lux Productions

What The Lux Productions does

The Lux Productions is a privately held, design-based event production company founded circa 2000 by Tom Durante, headquartered in Vallejo, California, with a secondary warehouse and sales office in Boise, Idaho. The firm operates a full-service, integrated production model spanning five core service lines — Lighting, Audio, Video, Event Management, and Design & Décor — delivered across five event verticals: Corporate Events, Weddings, Non-Profit / Fundraising Galas, Social / Private Events, and Signature Experiences. Its physical asset base includes theatrical lighting systems, concert-grade and battery-powered audio, outdoor-rated LED video walls, projection systems, in-house drape and scenic fabrication, and a proprietary rental Chandelier Collection.

Under the hood, the company runs an internally developed operating methodology called 'The Lux Way' that links three functional departments — Account Design, Operations, and Production — under a single point of contact, supported by standardized quality control, backup equipment protocols, and a digital chandelier and capabilities catalog. The leadership team comprises a Founder/President, Director of Operations, Director of Sales and Marketing, Director of Production, a Marketing/Biz Dev lead, a Logistics Manager, Account Designers, Production Managers, and Warehouse Supervisors, alongside seasonal Event Technicians.

The business model is project-based, quote-driven professional services with no public rate card; every engagement is custom-proposed after a discovery conversation with an Account Designer or sales lead. Go-to-market combines a dedicated Business Relationships Manager running outbound enterprise field sales, an inbound channel via the website contact form, downloadable Wedding Guide, and email/phone inquiries, and a referral/partner network across venues, planners, agencies, nonprofits, AV partners, and vendors. The company serves customers across the San Francisco Bay Area, Wine Country (Napa and Sonoma Valley), Sacramento, California statewide, Nevada, and the Mountain West (Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Utah), with anchor relationships at signature Wine Country and nonprofit events including Sonoma Epicurean, the V-Foundation Wine Celebration, and the Sustainable Oceans Alliance Gala.

The business relationship is anchored at The Lux Productions' San Francisco Bay Area headquarters (Vallejo, CA) with a Treasure Valley Idaho warehouse and sales office (Boise, ID) servicing CA, NV, ID, OR, WA, MT, WY, and UT.
