Fancy Friday: Event Lighting

I love event lighting. Why? Something as simple as lighting can completely transform the look and mood of your event. Most of the time, your venue is limited to the chandeliers or "house lights" to brighten your event and to set the mood. Relying on these lights as a source of light for the guests is usually mainly for making sure it's not pitch black in the room and so the guests can see.

Event lighting adds to the room. It gives your white walls some character, texture, and/or color. It gives you a chance to personalize your venue, highlight beautiful design elements like the cake and centerpieces, get creative, and really make a statement.

A lighting designer will not only know how to spice up your room based on your wants and needs, but they will also know the required electrical to make sure there aren't any shorts and there is enough power going to all lights. Just like any other professional, they also know the latest and greatest in their industry that can make your event something that no one has ever seen.
