We are a group of ladies on Florida’s Emerald Coast who fell in love with performing and wanted to share the joy of circus arts with others. We live to charm your guests and entertain the crowd! Operating out of Destin, Florida; we perform all over the Southeast United States.
In 2014, Lydia Faith started an aerial performance company, Aerial Events, with her best friends to fulfill their dream of becoming aerial performers. Since then, the company has expanded to include a unique crew of talented performers who offer a multitude of ground acts. To more fully embrace these new skills and performers, we rebranded as Luminary Entertainment Company! Each company member has a different performance background and flair, which makes for a wildly entertaining troupe. We are a supportive group of women whose mission is to build one another up and to challenge one another without competing.
“We rise by lifting others” - Robert Ingersoll
Our performance company is committed to professionalism. We understand that events aren’t for us, they’re for the client and guests to enjoy; and we do everything in our power to ensure a seamless, exciting event that guests can’t stop talking about.
We have performed nationwide at gorgeous holiday parties, corporate events, grand openings, clubs, private parties, festivals, shows, birthday parties, fundraisers, galas, balls, product launches, and fashion shows. We transform ho-hum events into mesmerizing parties!
Sources of Inspiration
Our creative juices never run dry! Luminary goes on frequent retreats to catch aerial shows and receive top-level training. We have to admit we’re biased, and our favorite shows often include our former aerial instructors! We love the shows Cirque du Soleil LOVE, Zumanity, and O (previous homes to our former instructor Lesley Vaughn), Cirque Du Soleil Toruk (starring our one-time coach Giulia Piolanti), and Axel featuring Sarah Romanowsky. We have also enjoyed training at L’Oracle Las Vegas, Trapeze Las Vegas, Trapeze School New York – DC, Shine Alternative Fitness, Sky Gym Atlanta, The Space Atlanta, and Scorpius Dance Theatre (to name a few). It’s a great way to experience different styles of aerial performance and training to diversity our knowledge base!
We are also inspired by everyday life - a moving song, a special costume, an emotional situation, or a style of movement. We challenge ourselves to be continuously innovative and creative.
With our elegant portable aerial rig and crescent moon lollipop lyra, we can easily perform indoors or outside in just about any space! We offer five-minute aerial and ground acts, thirty-minute aerial productions, and ground or aerial ambiance background entertainment by the hour. Our acts and shows are constantly evolving and improving as we master new skills and incorporate new costumes and performers. Each performance is tailored to the event and its needs, which allows for a fresh and unique show every time. We love working with clients to make their vision a reality! If you’re looking for something special, we can accommodate that too! Contact us to discuss your concept and we’ll happily provide you with a performance estimate.
