Turning visions into immersive realities.
What We Do
At Generations, our mission is to make an impression that lasts. Whether it's the illumination of a stage, the audio that immerses into a stadium, or the rigging that defies gravity, our expertise transforms ordinary venues into extraordinary ones.
We are a design-build entity. We are consultants, designers, engineers, technicians and even installers. We handle every aspect of the process and provide you one point of contact with single responsibility, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness from start to finish. We’ll take the measurements, create the concept, work with the manufacturers for the best equipment, oversee the installation to assure its accuracy, commission the system to peak performance and provide comprehensive client training on utilization.

Before we begin, we will arrange an on-site or virtual meeting, depending on the needs of your project. This initial consultation allows us to understand your vision and preferences, ensuring our approach aligns perfectly with your expectations. We will also outline the project timeline and budgets, providing clarity and transparency from the start.
Transitioning to the design stage, our engineers will translate your project concept into reality. Here, they’ll develop photometric layouts, AutoCAD drawings, 3D renderings, sound level calculations, load calculations and even conduct tests on stage lighting distribution, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and precision in every aspect of the process.
Once the designs are finalized and approved by the client, our purchasing team sources the highest quality materials and equipment from our trusted vendors. We'll place the orders, coordinate delivery schedules, and manage logistics to ensure timely arrival of all components, guaranteeing that everything meets our quality standards.
From our well-stocked warehouse to the electricians out in the field, your project is ready to be executed. Here, we will handle the delivery of materials, project management, installation, implementation, and programming with efficiency.
After project completion, we will arrange free on-site training to ensure proficiency and confidence with equipment use. We commit to providing ongoing technical support and service, ensuring that you have peace of mind and assistance whenever needed, for years to come.

NJ's Leader in Entertainment
and Architectural Systems
"Generations installed cutting edge technologies into our new performing arts center which has changed both the global and all micro conversations concerning our school facility and our programming.
From being able to host any performing arts event to being able to facilitate county-wide esports tournaments, their work has been a game changer that has literally put Passaic County's MRHS on the map in terms of cutting edge capabilities."
John C., Manchester Regional High School
"From the outset, the quality of their work and attention to detail was evident. Their dedication to making the installation as flexible and tailored as we required was truly impressive.
Theatrical Systems Engineer, Danila, managed the entire project on-site from start to finish, demonstrating exceptional leadership and expertise. He made on-the-spot adjustments and recommendations as we finalized the equipment placement throughout the room. His proactive approach ensured that every detail was accounted for, including additional Cat6 and speaker runs for future expansion."
Andrew L., Mt. Olive High School
"The company delivers what is promised in a professional and timely manner. There were absolutely no surprises!
I look forward to the new theater at Garfield High which will afford us the opportunity to present new course offerings for our students, advance the arts, provide social-emotional support for our students, and hold many exciting and memorable events for our school community."
Anna S., Garfield School District
"I have been working with Generations for a number of years at this point. We started out with small jobs which went well and have now progressed into much larger projects. Throughout both the small and large projects they have been responsive, flexible, and accommodating to all of my needs.
They have a talented team which can design, sell and even install lighting. If you do choose to install in-house they are only a phone call or email away to answer questions."
Chris C., Washington Township BOE
"Well worth the investment. The benefits will pay for themselves in a short time. It’s now not your typical middle school stage experience. It’s a great moment when these kids get to walk out on this stage, and know they get to be heard finally and seen in a much more mature way."
John G., Scotch Plains-Fanwood School District
"We have had a positive working relationship with Generations for over 5 years. The workmanship is excellent, done safely, and up to quality standards. If there are ever any concerns Generations addresses these concerns promptly and until the needs are satisfied."
Charlene P., CCM
"...We’ve received tons of compliments for the lighting design of our shows. Mostly everyone, from theater to guidance, finds our systems easy to use and beneficial for their programs."
Joseph B., West Morris Mendham High School
"From the 1st time we met, Generations brought expertise to the project and a vision of how we could update our facility into a 21st century learning space. When we decided to move forward, they were on site quickly and completed the project with minimal interruption as school was still in session.
Stephen Yu was extremely knowledgeable and always available when we needed him. We are very happy with their products, service and installation and would strongly recommend Generations Brands to anyone!"
Anthony S., SHRHS
"The Generations Team was the most professional contractors we have had during this entire building process. Their work was beyond professional. You can really see their care in the details of their work. It was an extremely clean install and we will 100% be calling you again when we build phase 2."
Erik M., Black Swallowtail Studios
"I have been a client of Generations for about 6 years. They bailed me out on a job in Ho-Ho-Kus when another contractor didn’t deliver on their promise. Generations came in and made the Library look great. Here in Hawthorne, they have done all new LED lighting in my gymnasiums and helped us retrofit the entire district with LED lighting inside and outside. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable company that stands behind their work."
Anonymous, Hawthorne Public Schools
"This is the second LED lighting upgrade project I have partnered with Generations on and both were enormously successful. Here in Glen Ridge, we collaborated on retrofitting over 3,000 fixtures and installing nearly 500 new ones. Steve Yu did a complete site survey and inventory, then specified appropriate products, as well as handled all the applications, permitting, and rebate paperwork. He couldn’t have made this any easier for us. We’ll get a rebate for the full cost of materials and the benefits we’ll realize in savings on energy and maintenance are major bonuses. Kudos and thanks to Generations and Steve!"
John B., Glen Ridge Public Schools
