"So professional and beautiful lights. I chose colorful bulb type lights and loved it. I was the first in the neighborhood to turn on my lights and the last to turn them off."

About Us

The Founder
Meet Matt Wooldridge.
Matt Wooldridge has been in the holiday lighting and decoration business since 2012. He founded Santa's Elves Holiday Lighting & Decor and, in 2018, the year-round sister company Landscape Lighting Guys, LLC.
Matt's background goes back over 15 years in the broader Saint Louis landscaping industry. Before building his businesses, he was working in landscaping while attending EMT/Paramedic school and volunteering for his local fire district.
The deliberate seasonal split between the two brands means the same professional team and quality standards apply to client work all year long. Customers who hire Santa's Elves for holiday work often become Landscape Lighting Guys customers — and vice versa.

"Our first time in 30 years hiring a lighting company and we were 100% glad we did! Quick to send a bid, had our lights up in no time, and quick to fix a few that fell in high winds. Would highly recommend!"

"We were very happy with Santa's Elves. So great to not have to get out in the cold to put up and take down the lights. Everything looked great all season, and they beat the pricing of other bids by quite a bit!"
