How Many Up-Lighting Fixtures Do I Need For My Wedding Reception?

How Many Up-Lighting Fixtures Do I Need For My Wedding Reception?  This is a question that we get asked all the time in the lighting industry.  As a wedding lighting expert, there is not a single answer to this question.  It depends on whether there are specific things or objects in the room that need to be highlighted.  Is the room symmetrical?  You want your lighting to be symmetrical and fit the space as well.  Too many fixtures can be just as bad as too few.

If your wedding venue has beautiful columns all around the room – this might be the architectural feature that you want to highlight with a light on each.  Maybe there are dramatic arched windows that need to be lit on each side (or on each window sill).   Do you want lights on each side of your entryway?  Maybe there is a need for lighting just outside the room  to light the entry from that side?  A lighting professional will walk with you and do a site inspection prior to your wedding date and you can discuss your lighting needs with them.

I can tell you, that we always bring more lighting fixtures than we expect to use at any given event.  Extras always come in handy when you find out that the cake was moved on the floor plan and you now need a special light for behind it or that the room was shifted so the head table is now on the opposite side of the room or maybe just as spares if the room just doesn’t look symmetrical once we are done setting up.

Lighting is all about the look of the room.  We will setup and then step back and look.  Are there dead spots in the room or does a light look out of place?  We will tweak our lighting setup to give you the best possible impact.   Do we charge by the fixture?  No. Our fees are based on the overall size and complexity of any given event.   Do we need to bring all our gear up 2 flights of stairs?  Is your venue in a downtown area that is hard to reach with truck & trailer?  How long do we have to setup?  Will we need 1, 2 or 3 assistants for setup and tear down?  All these factors go into deciding fees.  Will we charge more for more complex events that require twice as much gear?  Yes.

A lighting company that charges based on a per fixture basis is not really interested in the wow factor of your room.  We might recommend PAR cans or our new 3.0 watt LED systems with Red-Green-Blue-Amber color mixing.  We might suggest a single color v. color scene changes to save you money on your lighting budget.  It’s all about creating the right effect for each one of our clients.  Give us a call and let’s talk about your lighting needs.
