A bit of a mixed evening…

A bit of a mixed evening….we booked the 7pm time and that was changed after 5pm by email to a later 8.30pm start. We understand sometimes things are out of anyone’s control, but it was a pity. Our seats (silver)were right at the back and close to an aisle which seemed to be in continual use throughout the evening…people getting up to use the bathroom, staff back and forth (in noisy flip flops carrying cans of kopperberg cider which was not a good look), people arriving for the later start to find it had already begun, door opening to allow smoke in from people outside. Main lighting was not dimmed until well after the music started, so any candlelit ‘Luminos’ atmosphere wasn’t really there. The music however was lovely so credit to the string quartet.

Hi,

We're sorry to hear that your evening didn't fully live up to your expectations, although we appreciate you taking the time to provide such balanced feedback.

We understand how disappointing it must have been to have the performance time changed at short notice and appreciate that this affected your plans. We're also sorry that your seating location and the movement around the venue during the performance detracted from the atmosphere, and that the lighting wasn't adjusted at the start as intended.

It's great to hear that you enjoyed the music and that the string quartet made such a positive impression. We'll be sure to pass your kind comments on to the musicians.

Your feedback regarding the event organisation, venue management, and overall guest experience has been shared with the relevant teams as we review the performance and look at how we can improve. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us.

Our first lumos experience .

Our first lumos experience .
Disappointing.
Session was brought forward by 30mins which was advertised by email that went to spam. We didn’t have our expected ( gold seated area - more costly ) seats.
The session was 3 stringed instruments. Mostly enjoyable. Not candle lit .
Somewhat mediocre and definitely not worth the amount we paid.
Sorry to be so negative but not a great event.

Hi,

We’re sorry to hear that your first Lumos experience was not what you were hoping for. We appreciate you sharing your honest feedback and understand your disappointment.

We’re sorry that the changes to the event arrangements and seating meant that your experience did not match the expectations you had when purchasing Gold tickets. We recognise that guests who choose a premium seating option are expecting the benefits associated with that ticket type, and we apologise that this was not reflected during the performance.

We also appreciate your comments regarding the candlelight atmosphere and overall presentation. The setting and ambience are an important part of our events, and we’re sorry that this did not provide the experience you were expecting.

We’re pleased to hear that you found parts of the musical performance enjoyable, and we have shared your wider feedback regarding communication, seating, and event delivery with the relevant teams.

Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re sorry that your first Lumos experience did not leave the impression we would have wanted.

A wonderful experience

The already beautiful setting of Pershore Abbey was further enhanced by the candles and the evening was made great by excellent music played by talented musicians. A wonderful experience.

Really enjoyed the show!

Really enjoyed the show.! The musicians were fantastic and music selections were great. We appreciated the intimate environment/venue. Our only critique is that it would have been nicer for another person to emcee/narrate the music selections during the show instead of one of the musicians grabbing a microphone in-between every song. It would make the show a bit more polished and sophisticated.

Lumos Experience in Glenview

I experienced my first Lumos magic in Grand Rapids. I was so excited to see the concert scheduled in Glenview, Illinois. The music experience was all about Queen and Elton John. Check in was a piece of cake. The staff escorted me to my seat. The location was 7 minutes from my home and parking was plenty. The three musicians were amazing. Can’t wait for a return visit to experience more magic!

Stunning and intimate evening

Abba by Candlelight at St Mary’s in Stourbridge. What a stunning evening. The set was absolutely beautiful with hundreds of gorgeous glowing candles. The 2 violinists and cellist were just wonderful. An absolutely glorious, intimate and actually quite moving evening of music. Stunning location we know well here in Stourbridge. The staff were lovely and the quality of the whole evening was just fantastic.

The music was really good

The music was really good, as was the scenario and atmosphere.
The only problem in my view was the steep price of the drinks inside. £19 for 2 small glasses of rosé is abusive in my view…
Would go for another show…definitely won’t buy a drink whilst in there…

Extremely dissatisfied

Having enjoyed previous candlelight
We booked tickets for a 7pm performance but arrived to be told by the warden (no one from the organizer was there) there was a logistics delay,! Because of this a decision had been taken to combine the 7pm & 9pm concerts with a start time of 8.30pm. Unfortunately we could not stay for this as we had other plans. Also surely combining events will have resulted in over crowding and spoiled the experience.
Not sure that I will consider one of these again.

Hi,

We’re disappointed to hear that this performance did not provide the experience you were expecting, especially as you have enjoyed previous Candlelight events with us.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to arrive for the 7.00pm performance and discover that the schedule had changed, particularly when you had made plans around the original start time. We’re also sorry that there was not a member of the Lumos team available at the venue to provide information and reassurance directly to guests.

We appreciate your concerns about combining the two performances and understand why this raised questions about the overall atmosphere and comfort of the event. Your feedback regarding communication, organisation, and guest experience has been shared with the relevant teams as we review what happened and how we can improve.

We’re sorry that this experience has affected your confidence in attending future Candlelight performances. We value your previous support and hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide the standard of experience you have come to expect.

Coldplay Lumos Exprience…

We enjoyed the Lumos performance of Coldplay songs. It was early evening so didn't really feel the effect of the Candlelight, but it was still atmospheric. Very talented musicians- 2x Celloist & 1x Violinist. It was good to hear where they had trained and a bit more about the performers. One negative- drink prices in the mobile bar. £9.50 for a small glass of wine!! Good to support these events and classical musicians. All staff friendly and attentive.

Top notch performers

Might have included a few different songs, everything they did was really good. Would have liked to hear Your Song. Clearly good musicians and an excellent performance. Very convenient location for us. Like the church venue.

All of the musicians were awesome!

All of the musicians were awesome! They played Queen and Elton John, my favorite was Bohemian Rhapsody. The violinist made the violin speak to you!
My only suggestion would be, to do a better job of covering the windows. Having gone to an earlier show, the relaxing atmosphere would have been much better if it was truly only the candle light.

Disappointed

Having enjoyed previous candlelight concerts (Queen in Bury St. Edmunds; Bowie in Rochester) we were excited to find an event much closer to home.
We booked tickets for a 7pm performance but arrived to be told that the artists had apparently been delayed. Because of this a decision had been taken to combine the 7pm & 9pm concerts with a start time of 8.30pm. Unfortunately we could not stay for this as we had booked to go out for dinner. And no ticket refunds!
Not sure that I will consider one of these again.

Hi,

We're genuinely sorry that your evening didn't go as planned, especially as you had previously enjoyed Candlelight performances and were looking forward to attending one closer to home.

We appreciate how disappointing it must have been to arrive for the scheduled performance only to find that it had been rescheduled, particularly when you already had plans for the rest of your evening. We understand why this prevented you from staying for the later performance.

Your feedback regarding the communication and overall handling of the event has been shared with the relevant teams as we review what happened and look at how we can improve in situations like these.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're sorry that this performance fell short of the standard you had come to expect and hope we'll have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Updated review- much happier.

Having previously posted my dissatisfaction over our experience, in terms of a heavily delayed performance on Friday 31st July ,(that we could not stay for), I am now revising my previous post. Having written and complained Friday night, I got a very pleasant email explanation on Sunday with a committment to update today. As the promised update has arrived. I'll withhold upgrading to 5*'s until I get the promised refund, but will offer plaudits to the Customer Service team..WhilstI didnt get to see the performance, thus far the Customer Service & responsiveness has outweighed many of the bigger ticketing companies. We may well give it another try at some point.

Hi,

We’re sorry to hear that your birthday gift experience for your husband was affected by the issues surrounding this performance. We appreciate how disappointing it must have been to arrive expecting the event to begin as planned, only to find that the start time had been significantly delayed.

We understand your frustration regarding the lack of clear communication and organisation on arrival. Guests should feel welcomed and supported from the moment they enter the venue, and we’re sorry that this was not the experience you received. We also appreciate that, with childcare arrangements in place, waiting an additional 90
minutes was not a realistic option.

Your feedback regarding ticket checks, seating management, and communication has been shared with the relevant teams as we review the handling of this event. We’re sorry that the evening did not provide the special experience you had planned for your husband’s birthday.

We appreciate your patience while your refund request is reviewed, and we hope we have the opportunity to welcome you to a future performance under much better circumstances.

Hi!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We're so glad to hear that Sam looked after you so well and made such a positive difference to your journey.

However, we believe this review may have been left on the wrong company page, as it mentions Lumo train services rather than our business.

We're really pleased you had such an amazing experience, and we hope your kind words reach Sam and the Lumo team—they sound thoroughly deserved. Wishing you all the best!

A very pleasant concert

A very pleasant concert. We listened to Sinatra music..a very talented trio. My only complaint is that Lumos staff should've enforced the no recording policy..all phones should have been turned off. It was very distracting to see all the cell phones lit up during the concert.
