Lighting for Your Wedding

Right now I'm working on a lighting proposal for my April bride, and I couldn't be more excited. Nothing spruces up a reception like the perfect lighting. A blue tone can take your reception to a nightclub feel, whereas an amber glow will feel like you're at a candlelit affair.


It's no surprise that complex lighting can rack up quite a hefty bill, but there's some shortcuts you can take to still create an impact but not break the bank. For starters, Nashville Event Lighting has a package where you can rent 10 uplights for $100. This is a great deal for a 100-150 size wedding where the venue isn't too large (any larger and you might need to grab another set). NEL gives you a pack of gels so you can pick the color that you want. Here's a picture from their reception-- you can see the uplighting in the back of the dinner area.
