Lighting

Uplighting, cake lighting, dance lighting and GOBO Lighting is a wonderful way to enhance the ambiance of your event.  We offer various styles of lighting, allowing you to choose as much or as little as you’d like.  Each lighting type serves to make your event unique in a different way. Many couples are using LED uplighting to enhance the architecture of the room, and to compliment the colors in their wedding palette. Others may decide to spotlight the floral arrangements to make them stand out in the room. Still others like to add a bit more color and movement with dance lighting, or claim their space with a custom designed monogram (GOBO). You can pick one style for an accent, or combine them for a truly unique ambiance.
Dance Lighting

Intelligent Dance Lighting

Our dance lighting packages add flare and excitement to your dance floor.  The lighting is computer controlled, allowing us to create anything from a subtle wash effect to an ever-changing club feel.  Dance lighting also helps to hold the attention of your guests, as we will program the lighting for your event and space – meaning that the lighting always matches the music ambiance.  During times when there is no dancing – for toasts, cake cutting, and formal dances – we can spotlight that event in the room or highlight the dance floor for a truly dramatic effect.  TIP: Dance lighting can create a more fun environment for your guests, and can also be used to highlight different activities, such as the cake cutting, or formal dances.

Uplighting

Up Lighting / Wall Wash

Up lighting helps to create a more dramatic effect throughout the entire ballroom.  Lighting of this nature can also help to accentuate the architectural design of your venue, and to tie in the color palette of your event by complimenting those colors with wall lighting.  You may choose a small number of accent lights, perhaps on the columns of the ballroom in one of your colors, or go for a more saturated color wash that changes throughout the night.  TIP: By selecting a range of colors for uplighting, your ballroom can have different looks as the evening progresses.  Start with subtle colors for dinner, and choose bold colors for dancing.

Floral lighting (pinspotting)

Floral / Table Lighting

Floral design is often one of the most time-consuming decisions you will make for your event.  Why not add a gallery feel to the arrangements by lighting them individually on each table?  This same style of lighting can be used to light cake tables, head tables, and anything you want to “spotlight”.  TIP: After dinner, the room lighting is usually low enough that your floral arrangements can’t be seen well, if at all.  Lighting key arrangements will create more of an artistic look, and ensure that they are visible throughout the night.  Many florists will recommend that you reduce your floral budget per arrangement and choose to have each one lit.

Monogram / GOBOs

GOBOs originated in theater, where they were used to create dramatic effects without a lot of expense for props.  For example, the sewer scene from Les Miserables just wouldn’t look right with out the sewer grate GOBO used to set the scene location.  For special events, we can use this same type of lighting effect to transform your venue to just about any time or place.  Custom GOBOs can be used to project almost any design you’d like, from company logos, to your wedding logo, to your names and wedding date.  Custom designs can be done in black and white, or full-color.  The possibilities are practically endless!  TIP: You can also light the dance floor, walls or ceilings with textured GOBOs, such as snowflakes or trees (to give the effect of moonlight filtering through a tree.)
