Lighting

 

The four most common types of lighting used in a wedding or other event include Up Lighting, Spot Lighting, Gobo Lighting and Dance Floor Lighting.

 

Lighting, when done right, makes a huge difference to the overall appearance of your venue and event. The key to setting up lighting is to take accurate measurements of the room. Start by creating a sketch / layout of the room.

 

To improve safety these measurements will be used by us to provide you with power and DMX cables that are the correct length for your application.

 

Up-Lighting

 

Up lighting adds a warm and inviting effect to any room. We offer two types of up-lighting made by Chauvet Lighting. Our Slim Par 56 product requires power cables to be run from one light to the next. These lights are best used on solid walls without doors and windows. Our EZ Par 56 product is battery operated and is best used on walls with doors or windows as there are no power cables needed. These lights can be placed in the most advantageous locations.

 

Each light is going to illuminate roughly a 3-4 foot area of wall width. Our "official" recommendation is to place Slim Par 56 lights evenly spaced 6 feet apart on solid walls. On walls with doors and windows, we recommend placing an EZ Par 56 light on the Columns between doors and windows.

 

Spot Lighting

 

Spot lights can create additional dramatic effects and improve safety. Adding a spot light on the wedding cake is the most obvious use of a spot light however adding a spot light at the base of each speaker not only looks great but adds additional safety because the base of the speaker stand will glow. Guest’s will avoid tripping on the base of a black tripod speaker stand. Adding two spot lights underneath the DJ Table again looks great and adds additional safety.

Gobo Lighting

 

With Gobo Lighting you can add a personalized monogram of you choosing. We have many styles to choose from. A Gobo light will add a touch of class to your wedding or event.

Dance Floor Lighting

 

Our Chauvet 4Play CL offers a great selection of dance floor lighting effects. It encompasses everything from the old school black lights and strobe lights to todays advanced moonflower effects. The auto sensing feature makes the lighting dance to the beat of the music being played. It Rocks! Most people love it!

We are happy to provide advice and consulting services based on pictures and measurements you provide.
