The Got Light Family
Owners & Lead Designers

Inspired by designers Russell Holt and Jon Retsky, Got Light offers over 35 years of experience in event design and production. Their backgrounds expand from more than just the event community. From fine art, photography, and film… to theatre, dance, music, and architecture… their multi faceted experience in the arts has brought a fresh vision to the events industry and transformed the way events are produced and designed.
The Got Light signature style is how to produce an event with the smallest visible footprint of production nonsense.
Nearly 20 years ago, Jon Retsky and Russell Holt started their operation out of Holt’s basement in San Francisco’s Russian Hill.
Today, Got Light employs an incredible 130 person team in a 38,000-square-foot facility serving the Bay Area event industry.
