Custom Wedding Lighting

Yes, we have two LED wash lighting systems for weddings.  We can architecturally light virtually any venue.  Sometimes, that is not the look that you want at your wedding.  There is something called a GOBO projector.  We use these to project patterns on surfaces (walls, ceilings, tents) to give the added feel of TEXTURE to your reception lighting.

What does texture lighting do for you?  It takes a normal dull area and turns it into an amazing venue.  The bigger, the better it looks with texture lighting.   If your venue is a cavernous space (Union Station in Worcester, The Riverview in Simsbury, The Waterview in Monroe, or a tented wedding) we can transform your wedding reception using custom patterns or gobos.

If you would like to have us at your event, please checkout our website at www.afterhoursdj.net or request further information and we can check our availability and put together a formal quote for you.

Remember, we offer disc jockey, photography, photo booth rental, event lighting, up-lighting and a/v rental services for all types of events.

Videography Same Day Edits

What is a same day edit when it comes to your wedding?  Check out this video from ChrisPro Videography.  The first part of the video shows the couple growing up (slide show created prior to the wedding date), the 2nd half of the video is ACTUAL video footage from their wedding date that has been edited during the reception and then presented on a big screen prior to the end the the ceremony for all their guests to enjoy.  You have to watch the reaction of the bride and groom in the video window as we see them react to the video.

Slide Show Picture Montage At Your Wedding Reception

So, you are thinking about having a slide show / picture montage at your wedding?  Great!  You can ask your photographer to create the slide show, your videographer and disc jockey also may have that capability.  If you are computer literate - why not do it yourself?

Here are a couple FREE software programs to create your slide show.
Google Picasa
Animoto (costs $8 to download the video once you are done)

Creating a great slide show is one thing - the next thing is presenting it at your wedding.  Maybe 1 or 2 plasma screens are what you need.  Maybe you would rather have it on a bigger projection screen?  At After Hours, we have all the necessary rental items to present your slide show so everyone at your reception can enjoy it.  Please inquire.

Wedding Inspiration Boards

Exactly what is a wedding inspiration board?  This is a great way to see how the ideas for your wedding details will look together.  Find a photograph that inspires you.  Add in a picture of your reception site or decorations.  Add in your colors and then step back and see if they work well together.  This is where you will figure out whether your colors work well together or whether you have to change something out to make your vision come into focus.

Here are some great examples of inspiration boards from Style Me Pretty and Elizabeth Anne Designs.
