DO I NEED LIGHTING FOR MY WEDDING?

Most venues don’t need additional lighting, however when considering the venue, also consider the benefits of adding lighting.

• Lighting adds dimension and enhances a venue’s beautiful architecture.
• Lighting adds warmth and visual interest to a room.
• Photographers love it because it adds a background layer to their photos.
• Lighting transforms a dark room into a vibrant, dynamic space.
• Lighting can add texture and movement to your space.

WHERE DO I GET LIGHTING?

DJs generally offer some uplighting and dance floor lighting. To create a full lighting experience, consider a company that specializes in event lighting to help you choose the best option for your style and budget.

WHAT IS A GOBO?

To put it simply, a Gobo is an image projection. It can be used to project names, an image, logo, or pattern on a wall or surface. In the wedding world, Gobo is also synonymous with Monogram. Couples can project their initials, names and wedding date onto a wall or dance floor in their venue. If you’re a tech nerd like me and want to know the technical side of GOBOS, read on. GOBO stands for Goes Between Optics. It’s a metal plate that’s placed in between the lamp and the lens. The lamp provides the light and the lens determines the size of the image projected.

WHAT IS THE HOTTEST TREND IN WEDDING LIGHTING?

Cake Projection Mapping is a hot new trend in weddings. It is the ability to project a specific pattern, texture, or image onto your wedding cake and really bring alive your cake with movement and design! Check out this video by Karma Event Lighting.
