Stray Production Services

Often we are tasked with turning a gymnasium into a gorgeous venue this time, we turned the venue into a circa 1980’s gymnasium prom-complete with a basketball court and prom king + queen chairs! We can’t wait until we can produce events like this again our creative little brains are about to burst with the anticipation!

We’re thinking that 2021 is going to be the year of the outdoor event, and we are here for it! We’re your one stop shop for mobile stages, large or small PA, lighting, video walls, crowd barricadeyou name it! We’re committed to helping your event proceed safely, and we’d love to chat.

Once every four hundred years, when the planets align and the moon is in its waxing gibbous phase, the Edison bulbs and the Downtown Lititz Christmas stars pass within mere feet of each other. Kids, check it out cause you won’t see this again in your lifetime! (Thanks to Atlas General Store for helping to sponsor the lights this year!) Pc Lititz Historical Foundation

It’s been a rough go, but look at us all still here, still showing up, still fighting for joy. Happy 2021, friends. First the pain, then the rising. (- @glennondoyle ) Image via @soflytaxidermy

As soon as the world is ready, we’re ready! We can’t wait!

We are so grateful for the work we have had doing integration work this past year! If your business, venue, or place of worship needs some upgrades, we’d love to chat with you! Email [email protected]

A light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. The Edison bulbs are going back up in Downtown Lititz!

Here’s a sneak peek of our new studio space; it’s starting to come together! We are building out a large, dedicated studio just for producing virtual events. It will have everything you need in one spaceaudio engineering, lighting design, custom set designs + various furniture options, videography and streaming! Stay tuned because next month we will be GIVING AWAY an entire virtual event to a local non-profit... and while we can’t tell you too much yet, we’ve also got a few surprises up our sleeves!

So we were supposed to choose winners on Christmas, but we were all passed out in a food coma, so... without further ado our three winners of our Edison bulb giveaway are: Lindsay Heinsey Barbara Lease Kathy Steinour... Congratulations!! Please PM us your address and we will communicate with you about when we can come install your lights. Merry Christmas! Sending you lots of love and light.

Things are getting spooky today for Julianna and Carmen’s #hallowedding ! Sapphire Road Weddings

The Christmas decor has started popping up in stores everywhere, and if you're anything like us, the prospect of the upcoming holidays feels a lot heavier this year. We won't have the big parties and our houses won't be busting at the seams with our loved ones, traveling in from all over the world. Some of us will forever face an empty seat at the Christmas table. This is heartbreaking on so many levels. Christmas is going to look a lot different this year... but as you are ...pondering your abridged celebrations, we would be honored to help you plan an intimate, meaningful event that maintains appropriate Covid protocol. We've got some ideas up our sleeves! Even in the darkness, we pray that you would know the "thrill of hope" in this upcoming season. Contact [email protected] to book. (These photos are from a winter event we did at Lancaster Bible College - Capital Seminary & Graduate School a few years ago. We transformed their cafeteria into Narnia! And just like any magical land should, we had a few surprises for the students. After dinner was over, the "forest ceiling" lowered to reveal a spread of desserts on top!)

The best weddings are the ones that incorporate meaningful, personal design. Lots of times it’s not necessarilyflashy, but makes a huge impact because of how special it is. Kasey’s grandmother handmade all these origami pieces for her wedding, and we couldn’t love this any more! (We can’t take any credit for the idea just hanging it up! ) @april_and_bryan

Once again, Rock Lititz shows our community what a class act they are! Such a fun (+ safe) drive-thru adaptation of #shocktheblock ! Now I’m off to collect some parent tax. ATOMIC Pyrotek Special Effects, Inc.

And we are off! North Star Initiative

We are beyond honored to be assisting our dear friends at North Star Initiative with their virtual event this year. A modern-day Moses, this organization is liberating women who are coming out of the sex trafficking industry, and equipping and standing alongside them as they break the chains of their heartbreaking pasts. We are deeply grateful for organizations like this, who so profoundly and selflessly care for the marginalized and forgotten. Follow them on their social to find out how you can help advance their mission, and set these beloved women free. For more information on partnering with Stray to produce your virtual event, please contact [email protected] .

The shadows prove the sunshine. (Switchfoot )

The stage is set, the lights are hung and things are coming together beautifully at Lititz Shirt Factory! Local folks, this venue is really, really special and I promise you are going to love it. PS check out those gorgeous pendants from our friends at Oldebrick Lighting -speaking of really special...! I’m pretty sure you need these in your house.

We’re missing our event production friends today, and the good ol’ days before Covid held our industry hostage. Sending love and solidarity to you; we can’t wait to be together again.

We actually can’t wait. ) #wemakeevents #liveproduction #eventlife #lighting #audio #eventdesign #strayproductionservices #lights #sound #creativevision Pyrotek Special Effects, Inc. @P.A.Audio ATOMIC Fête en Blanc Lancaster Listrak Rock Lititz
