Why you should consider venue uplighting for your event
St. Regis Deer Valley Resort
When asked about the most important thing for their wedding guests, many couples say music. But just as important as the music that is played is the lighting of the venue throughout the wedding. When the party kicks off and the venue lights turn off, the DJ’s lighting is key. There will likely be flashing DJ lights, but there should also be some sort of ambient lighting throughout the room to set the mood and keep the room from getting too dark. If the room is too dark, the photographer or videographer may use spotlights that might detract from your party. This is where uplighting comes into play: small lights set up around the room to create a wash effect that will light up the room and set the mood for the evening.
Uplighting can be set to any color to match your theme. To ensure your photos come out fun and flattering, your DJ should use soft colors or pastels rather than dark or neon colors. The types of lights your DJ uses are also important. It is important to have high quality lighting rather than lasers and dot party lighting, you know, the stuff you see at house parties. Not something you’d want at your special event. The stands that lights are set up on can also enhance the look of the wedding if done right. Consider a tall totem light that’s back lit or lit up from the bottom up. Learn more about venue uplighting here.
