Wedding Lighting Options At Your Reception
Many people ask what the differences are in lighting packages. I wanted to try and answer most of your questions with this blog post. There are three basic kinds of lighting at a wedding reception. There are dance floor lights, table lighting and architectural lighting of the room.
Dance Floor Lighting:
Basic Dance Floor lighting consists of 2-3 light fixtures that move, change color and shape of the beam based on the music. This is a great way to give some energy to your dance floor.
Club Lighting takes your basic dance floor lighting and brings it to a larger level. We bring more light fixtures. The style and complexity of the fixtures rivals what you’d see in a typical night club. This style lighting creates more of a dance party atmosphere. We can control the lights and adjust them based on fast v. slow music.
Table Illumination:
Table lighting can come in a few typical styles. You can illuminate your tables with candles. You can use LED glow fixtures in vases or in your floral arrangements (talk to your florist about lighting options). You can also pin-spot your table centerpieces. Each table centerpiece would have 1-2 white pin-spots pointed at it from high above (ceiling mounted or 11’ in air well above people) to make your table glow. We can do all guest tables or just your head table, cake table and maybe even your parent’s table. We can even make a table GLOW from underneath.
Architectural Room Lighting or Up-Lighting:
Up-lighting is a huge wedding trend. Something so simple can dramatically change the overall feel of your venue. Dark wood tones? We can warm it up with an Amber LED or Par Can. Want to turn the room blue or pink? We can do that too with our 3 watt LED high intensity LED up-lights (~10,000 lumen output). These up-lights can remain one color through the entire reception or we can wirelessly control color scene changes for your entrance, first dance, or the lights can change based on the music over the course of the evening to add to your party atmosphere.
You can use wash LED lighting OUTSIDE to change a tent or even the ENTRANCE of your venue.
Texture lighting normally requires high vaulted ceilings or tents but can be projected on divider walls, behind your head table or on the ceiling or dance floor to add yet another dimension to your space.

Meg & Skip’s Wedding Reception – The Society Room of Hartford CT – DJ and Lighting
Meg & Skip are from the RI area, but found the Society Room of Hartford and fell in love with the space. They quickly realized that they wanted to do up-lighting in this space and the room was just a-glow with our amber lighting. Take a close look at Meg's dress - it was just stunning! It was probably the most amazing wedding dress that I've seen in my 20+ years doing this.
They were heavily involved with their music selection for their reception - NO GUEST REQUESTS were allowed. From Dire Straits to Bob Marley to Death Cab For Cutie and Floggy Molly - it was a very unique night.
Introduction Songs: Duke of Earl (her dad's name is Earl), Don't Stop Believin - Journey
First Dance: If I Leave This World Alive - Flogging Molly
Meg & Dad's Dance: Father & Daughter - Paul Simon
Meg & her Brother: Free Fallin' - Tom Petty

The Log Cabin, Holyoke MA
We were just up to the Log Cabin in Holyoke for a corporate holiday party. Funny thing about this party was that our clients DIDN'T want any holiday music (politically correct?). They were a fun crowd. Two of the couples in the audience - I had DJ'd their daughter's wedding.
There were three parties going on at the Log Cabin that night. Our party started first. When I was packing up, we were the only ones left in the building. I guess the other parties were not as fun.
Check out the photos of our uplighting at the Log Cabin.
Windsor Marriott – Corporate Holiday Party
We were just at the Windsor Marriott for a corporate holiday party this weekend. Our uplighting was a big hit - with a green and red holiday theme. I took a couple photos WITHOUT our lights on and it's just amazing how different the room looks WITHOUT lights. We even did karaoke at this event and people didn't want the party to end. Check out some photos:

Union Station – Worcester, MA
I had the opportunity to check out a new venue in Worcester yesterday. I was out in the Worcester/Framingham area meeting clients yesterday. The owners of Maxwell-Silverman's just renovated the old Worcester train station. You just have to see it. It is a large space. All I could think about was how beautiful it would look with our event lighting.
Check out a few photos that I took of the space.
