Customized Lighting

When planning your wedding one thing to keep in mind is lighting. Lighting plays a more important role in atmosphere than most brides realize. "Once reserved for upscale events like the Emmys, the Black and White Ball and celebrity weddings, lighting is now much more accessible for today’s bride and should therefore be an important consideration in the planning of her most important day."
"It acts as “makeup” for your venue, highlighting its strengths and downplaying any flaws, and is the single most important element for mood, atmosphere, and room transformation. Lights make the difference between a nice event and a spectacular one, but many people have yet to learn what the options are and how affordable lighting can be. The use of custom lighting at weddings and parties is on the rise, due in part to its ability to change the look and décor of any kind of room, from a drab recreation hall to the finest, most architecturally pleasing venues." Lighting can add so much to your wedding; there are so many options today.

Different types of lighting can include: up-lights, spot lights, led lights, candles, gobos, and more. What is a gobo you ask? Well have you ever seen the logo or wording projected on a ceiling or wall of a venue, that's a gobo. A good tip is to add candles and led lights to add lighting in unexpected places, especially on your tables.

You may be wondering the cost of lighting. It can be expensive depending on who you hire to do it. Professional lighting and staging companies can vary in price. It is important to work with your planner to find a good deal. We now do lighting ourselves; this saves our clients money and hassle.
