Celebrate Packages:
Wish Upon a Star
Dedicating luminaria lanterns is a perfect way to celebrate proposals, wedding anniversaries, birthdays, or just to show someone you care. In the Star Field WaterFire will arrange a path of luminaria candle lanterns with pre-dedicated personal messages that you will compose and email to us in advance. These dedications can be anything you would like; song lyrics, personal messages, poetry, etc. We will then print these dedications out and lay them in the Star Field with the luminaria lanterns. Above the lanterns will hang a luminous blue star, which is yours to keep at the end of the night. Additionally, your wish will be displayed at each Starry, Starry Night installation throughout the season.
The price of this package will vary depending on how many Luminaria candles you wish to have dedicated and set up in the Star Field.
Standard Package – $200* for 10 candle path, 10 candles surrounding your wish, 1 Star & 1 Wish
Each additional set of 5 candles – $25
