Luminer was fun and entertaining. Overall, I enjoyed it overall, but I would hardly call it a must-see. The advertisements I saw on Facebook and Instagram made it look a lot more impressive than it actually was.
As we parked and started walking toward the main house, an older couple began chatting with us. In North Carolina, that is not unusual. People are friendly and chatty. At any rate, I got a big chuckle when the woman asked, “Where are you from?” When I said, “Los Angeles,” she didn’t miss a beat and replied, “I’m sure you don’t want to go back!” I found myself thinking that she was more right than wrong.
The event started at the main house, where we sat on the lawn waiting for the show to begin. They projected a film about the history of the estate onto the front of the house. It lasted about half an hour and was very interesting.
After that, we walked through the main garden and the conservatory, which were both lit up for the event. Some parts were cool and entertaining, while other parts were just okay. Overall, I am glad I went and saw it. Would I go back and see it again? Probably not. And that is why I said upfront that I didn’t want to oversell it.
