Testimonials

Cal Kennedy and the Luminon team delivered a range of extremely high profile events for me when I was the head of Virgin Atlantic Airways in South Africa.

The preparation, the attention to detail, the support, the insights and sheer professionalism he and his team brought to the events resulted in truly world class events being delivered. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cal and his team to anyone that needs the best of the best.

I have had the distinct privilege of working with Luminon for the past 20 years. It is testament to their professionalism, creativity and sense of humor that a business relationship can last so long in these times. They save time and money by taking my fairly sparse briefs and converting them into magnificent audio and visual master pieces. They have an uncanny ability to convert my rather complicated ideas into simple impactful experiences. It is indeed a pleasure to work with them. To Cal and Paul, thanks for all your hard work, long may our journey last.

I have worked with Cal and Luminon for over 16 years both as a client and as a supplier to me. Through the years I have always found that his attention to detail, his ability to assist under all circumstances and his innovative ideas have ensured the success of all the events that we have worked on together. Cal’s creative ideas and meticulous execution have produced events that even now, almost two decades later, still stand as some of the highlight moments in my career.

In an ever changing industry, times have been tough but you have stood strong, supported those who have needed help most and held your head high with professionalism and most importantly – with integrity and honesty. As a friend, a father and now a grandfather one cannot look any further for a true professional.

When you work with Luminon the ego’s are checked at the door. Client is king & whatever it takes is adopted to get the required results. They tick all the right boxes when it comes to ethics, confidentiality & financial responsibility. I would highly recommend them for your next project.

Luminon is an awesome company to work with. They are creative & energetic & I’ve never even seen Cal grumpy or upset. His crews are always professional & committed to the job. Luminon settle invoices immediately which is so appreciated from us freelancers & sometimes even pay crews before the job happens. If I have a gig that I require outside expertise, I would definitely use Luminon’s team to help as they have had an extraordinary 35 years of success in events. 95% of the time Cal allows his crews to have freedom of creative input & shares ideas & concepts with the entire team. Ethically & confidentially I feel they treat the industry with high regard. They are very thorough with planning & execution, very detailed logistically & extremely professional. Luminon has been in the events & broadcasting industry for a very long time & their record speaks for itself.

It is always a pleasure to be a part of Cal Kennedy’s TV productions and events.

He headed up “Good Morning South Africa” on SABC & was one of the high profile Executive Producers for the 1994 South African Elections. He also created eight Car of the Year events produced for WesBank, making the award presentations stand out from any other before or since. Luminon is open to all suggestions from clients to help them enjoy world class events. Cal Kennedy is a Producer at the top of his game.

I have known Cal Kennedy since the early 1980’s when he was a senior audio engineer at the Video lab. I always requested him to work on my productions because of his professionalism and skills. Since then I have worked at M-Net virtually from their beginning and have teamed up with Cal on numerous productions including the highly successful John Berks Show which Luminon created & produced & they appointed me as director. Cal is an ideas man and together with his management skills makes him the ideal person to work with.

I’ve worked as a Final Mix engineer with Cal & Luminon for (dare I say) over 20 pleasant years. The first two words that spring to mind at the mention of Luminon are Quality and Integrity. It’s also a pleasure working with someone who knows what he wants and as director has the creativity and innovation to produce an excellent end product. Viva Luminon!

We have been using Luminon services for the past five years and have always been completely trusting in their performance. They do an excellent job. Luminon supplied their time and resources at no charge to support Inner City Ambassadors and the House Group for Girls in January 2022, and helped organize and implement its very successful “Rekaofela against Gender Based Violence” seminar at Emperors Palace. I strongly recommend the services of Luminon for all your Events and Conferences and know that you will not be disappointed.
