The Company
Light Motif is a London-based full-service event production company, providing creative specialized solutions and technical equipment for a wide range of high-profile live events in some of London’s most prestigious venues and global brands.
We provide technical production (lighting, sound, AV, custom scenery, furniture, graphics, etc.) to a range of high-profile events. The work is fast-paced (install times of 45 minutes are not uncommon) and diverse in scale but offers a chance to be part of some of the most unique events in London.
