“THE NIGHTSCAPES OF MUSKOKA TEAM DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF ILLUMINATING MY COTTAGE. THEIR RESPECT FOR THE PROPERTY WAS EVIDENT AND THE ‘FEEL’ OF THE PROJECT WAS OF PARAMOUNT CONCERN FOR ALL INVOLVED. I COULD NOT BE MORE PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM HIGHLY, BOTH FROM AN ARTISTIC AND TECHNICAL STANDPOINT. BEST YET, THEIR ‘AFTER INSTALL’ SERVICE WAS EXEMPLARY. OVERALL, I HAVE TO SAY THEY WERE A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH.” -MYLES MINDHAM
