Ask Your Venue About Lighting

Lighting is a very important decor element for weddings and other events, especially if your wanting guests to interact with one-another. It is a proven fact that people are very self conscious about dancing and/or mingling with people they don't know. Lighting can help with this problem. By lowering the brightness of a room and adding LED  lighting to create a certain mood, can make guests feel more comfortable in the event space.

Make sure your venue doesn't have a policy about lighting brightness, some venues require their house lights to stay on 100% for liability reasons. If they require something like this, you might want to re-think booking that location. If your space is too bright, guests wont be as comfortable dancing and interacting with others.

But at the same time, you don't want complete darkness because that will make people just as uncomfortable. That's why LEDs are the perfect solution!

LED up lighting is the in thing right now and will be for a very long time. These lights are small, cost efficient and generate no heat. LEDs can be programmed to fit the color of your decor and give off ample amount of light, making a big impact. LEDs can change colors as the event progresses, creating appropriate moods at any given time.

Most venues don't supply their own LEDs, so hiring an outside vendor will  be necessary. Many DJs will offer lighting as a part of their service. While their service is offered at a cheaper price, we are advising people to steer-clear of getting their lighting through a DJ. Just like anything else, you get what you pay for. A lot of the time, their LEDs are not good quality and don't illuminate as bright or as sharp of a color. It is best to leave lighting up to lighting professionals.
