A Christmas lighting company that morphed into A/V/L design?

In 2009, we purchased Distinctive Holiday Lighting to provide a little extra income. Soon after, we added wedding lighting and changed our name to Enlightened Events. It wasn't long until I started to realize that I already know the stuff for doing audio, video and lighting design and installation and added that to our repertoire.

We have since discontinued wedding lighting and now focus on audio, video, lighting and network design and installation. And we still do Christmas lights. In June 2017, Kyle Leonard became a Certified Technical Specialist. A designation that signifies expertise in audio and video communication and integration. We are also joined AVIXA, formerly InfoComm International. And in September of 2017, we added a new name, KOAT Services, which better signified that we were doing more than events. Enlightened Events was discontinued in 2019.

In 2020, we moved to Miles City, MT and discontinued our Christmas Lights. We were still focused on AVL and started doing a lot of networks. Unfortunately the demand for travelling to Bozeman on a regular basis was too much, so we took a break.

In late summer 2023, we moved to Billings, MT where we are starting the business from the ground up, so to speak. I’ve spent a lot of time educating my self in the design and infrastructure side of commercial construction. While in Miles City, I picked up a lot of skills in general construction and project management.

We like to working with small churches and non profits because they usually don't know where to turn and need the most help. If your church or theater is looking for a makeover, or you just need a little direction, contact us. You are our kind of customer.
