Why you should consider venue uplighting for your event

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.

Weddings and new regulations in 2020

Now trending in 2020, micro weddings! That was really an email I received about weddings recently. Geez. Of course things very different from what we expected this year to be, and the hardest part is rules for events continue to change as time goes on. As of June 10th, 2020, here are a few of the rules that Salt Lake County has implemented and recommended for private events.

1. Make sure the venue has filled out the attestation form and submitted to their county.  Have the attestation form on display at the venue for guests to see.

2. Maintain social distancing of households at ceremonies and meals meaning everything is assigned seating.

3. No passed apps or cocktails.

4. Dance floors are OK, but discouraged due to inability to maintain social distance.  One solution is to have a basket of masks by the dance floor for guests to use. Another option is to use multiple dance floors.

5. There will likely be no changes to event guidelines when the state moves from yellow to green.

6. The chance of moving from yellow to orange is slim and would only happen if our hospitals no longer had capacity.

7. Guests need to assume responsibility for their own health and the health departments are not interested in policing and breaking up events.

I can’t wait until we go back to a safe “normal” for weddings and events. I know many in the Salt Lake City area are ready to return to having the family gathered at our beautiful wedding venues with djs that get your guests going!
