Wedding-Up-Lighting-For-Weddings

Gone are the days of police beacons, strobe lights and flashing colored light bulbs.  Currently there are many high tech options for lighting your wedding reception.  Is your reception under a tent?  The ceiling of the tent works wonderfully with theatrical style lighting, such as subtle color changes, flowing water patterns, or a custom gobo displaying images of constellations and a delicate blue tint onto the ceiling. 

At Rob Alberti's Event Services, we offer a full line of up-lighting or wedding event lighting options (lights placed not on trussing or stands, but on the floor firing upwards) to completely transform your venue by washing the walls with any color you'd like.  Our color wash lighting will make any venue special.  We have many wedding lighting ideas, please give us a call and let us show you what we can do to help you with your reception lighting needs.

In years past, you were limited to simple lighting at your wedding reception.  Maybe your DJ could bring a mirror ball or some disco lighting for the dance floor.  You could not ask them to make your white walled venue into a pink wall.  With today’s new range of Wedding LED Lighting, you can do just about anything at your wedding reception.

There are different styles and quality levels when it comes to Wedding LED Lighting.  First, there is a difference in brightness – the first generation of Wedding LED Lighting were 0.1 watt LEDs.  They were nice, but you literally had to shut off all the lights in your venue before you could see the effect.  (We immediately sold our 0.1 watt LED Wedding Lights as soon as the brighter fixtures came out)

The second generation of Wedding LED Lighting were made up of 1.0 watt LEDs.  These were markedly brighter than the first generation LED fixtures.  Even with the venue lights at normal banquet level, you could clearly see the effect that they made in the venue.  You were still limited by sunset time and windows in a venue – they could not compete with direct sunlight.

The newest fixtures for Wedding LED Lighting are the 3.0 watt fixtures.  Some have tri-colored LEDs (no need for separate Red Green Blue LEDs), others added White or Amber LEDs to allow a bigger color pallet to be achieved in your wedding venue.  Rob Alberti's Event Services utilize only the brighter 3.0 watt fixtures and have the capability for both Amber and White LEDs for more color choices for our clients.

Conventional Par Can lighting with color gel filters have a difficult time reproducing Blues and Purples.  Wedding LED Lighting used to have a hard time with White and Amber hues.  This new generation of 3.0 watt Wedding LED Lighting eliminates the color matching concerns of earlier versions of LED lighting.
 

So, before you hire your DJ or lighting specialist for your wedding, be sure to ask some basic questions about their Wedding LED Lighting.

1. Are your fixtures 0.1 w, 1.0 w or 3.0 w LED fixtures?  What is their output?  (Less than 5,000 LUX and they will not be bright enough, we use 10,000 LUX fixtures)
2. How many fixtures do you typically use?  (10 – 20 fixtures are required for most facilities, probably twice as many fixtures needed for the 0.1 w style)
3. Are all your fixtures the same make and model?  If they mix and match styles of Wedding LED Lighting, the color will not be exact from one fixture to another.
4. Can you wirelessly control the color or brightness of your Wedding LED Lighting?  Do they stay the same all night long or will they change?  This is personal decision you must make as the bride – do you want the background color of your wedding to change or will you be bored and want changes to the lighting based on what is going on or you can utilize color changes to enhance dancing.
5. Will someone be on-site throughout the event to monitor the Wedding LED Lighting?  This will correct for things like fixtures being accidentally moved, bumped or unplugged as the lighting technician will monitor things.
6. Do you have photos of the last couple events that you’ve used your lighting at?  Be sure they can identify the facility and event (to make sure they are not showing you someone else’s photos and not their own Wedding LED lighting examples).
7. Do your fixtures only have RED-GREEN-BLUE color mixing or do you have AMBER or WHITE as well?

Wedding LED Lighting can make your reception dramatic and stunning if done correctly.  It also can turn your special day into a circus if done incorrectly.  Know what you are getting for Wedding LED Lighting.  Get it in writing!

Please note - not all lighting vendors are alike.  Many inexperienced lighting technicians or DJs are using inferior low output LED fixtures.  Our high output fixtures put out around 10,000 LUX (3.0 watt fixtures).  That is bright enough to make your venue absolutely amazing.  Less than that and the lights won't have much effect at all.  Be sure to check out photos from any lighting vendor and verify that they can do what they propose.

Want your name or monogram in lights?  We can create custom light gobos for your first dance.  Place it on the dance floor, wall or ceiling.  We can have it rotate slowly. We can match the design of your cake, dress or invitations in the light design. 

Want more of a club feel?  Enter the era of high-tech club style lighting, with fast moving, color changing lights, and lights that create spinning patterns all over the dance floor and walls. Or, do you simply want a shifting color wash on the walls or columns in your banquet facility?  A professional DJ can create this type of soft atmosphere within your facility.  Ask us about the possibilities in club style or color scheme lighting.
