Meet the Owner
Christmas Lights Connection was founded by Eddie Leonardo, a Tampa-area father of three whose love for Christmas has always been rooted in family. To Eddie, the holiday season is about more than decorations. It is about bringing families together, creating lasting memories, and spreading joy throughout the community.
Eddie is a devoted family man, and his children mean the world to him. Everything he does is inspired by them. His hope is that one day they will take over the business he has built and continue helping families and communities experience the same joy that Christmas has always brought to his own family.
That family-first mindset also shapes the way Christmas Lights Connection treats its customers. Eddie believes customer service is what truly separates the company from others. Every client and property receives personal attention, from the initial custom design through installation, maintenance, removal, and storage.
The company’s 24-hour service promise is an important part of that commitment. Whether a single bulb goes out or an entire section of lights stops working because of weather or a squirrel chewing through a wire, the Christmas Lights Connection team responds quickly to make it right. Customers can enjoy their display knowing they have a dependable team supporting them throughout the season.
For Eddie, the most rewarding part of the business is hearing the stories customers share after an installation. He loves learning how excited their children were when they first saw the lights and hearing about neighbors who stopped to compliment the finished display. Those special moments are why Christmas Lights Connection exists.
Today, Christmas Lights Connection creates custom residential, commercial, HOA, and interior holiday displays throughout Tampa Bay. Every project is designed to provide a polished, memorable result and a completely stress-free holiday experience.
