How To Light Your Wedding Reception Venue

We've all seen "Platinum Weddings" and "My Fair Wedding" with David Tutera.  The wedding receptions that are captured for these TV shows are stunning.   Although you may not have the $300,000 wedding budgets that these shows portray, you can still make your reception amazing with the use of lighting.

There are a few things to consider when lighting your wedding reception venue.    Lighting can be broken down into a couple key elements.   First, you have the uplighting or wall wash.   Think of that as the background of a photo.  Then, you have your monogram gobo projection or "name in lights".  Then there are pin spots to highlight key elements like table centerpieces, your wedding cake or your sweetheart table.  You top it all off with a dance floor or ceiling wash and patterned or "texture" lighting.

Examples of Wash Lighting or Uplighitng (Prices starting around $600)

Here are examples of monogram lights or "custom name in lights" gobo projections (Priced around $250):

You can pinspot table centerpieces (Pricing around $30 per table):

Add in some texture lighting on the ceiling or dance floor or even on the airwall (Prices starting around $300):

By using each of these elements, you keep the room well lit and eliminate dark areas in your reception hall.  With lighting you can choose to keep your lighting static (or unchanged) throughout the event or for a little more money can have your lighting shift over time to different color settings.  Maybe it's teal for dinner, red for dancing and amber for cocktail hour.
