Lighting Guides

Know Before You Book

Not sure what kind of lighting you need? Here's a quick breakdown of the most common setups and when to use each one.

Uplighting

LED fixtures placed on the floor aimed upward to wash walls, columns, and draping in color. The single most impactful and affordable lighting upgrade for any venue. Ideal for weddings, galas, and corporate dinners.

Best for: Weddings · Galas · Dinners
Moving Heads

Motorized fixtures that pan, tilt, change color, and project beam or wash effects. Essential for concert productions and high-energy events. Controlled via DMX by a trained lighting operator for live synchronized shows.

Best for: Concerts · Festivals · Clubs
Gobo Projection

A metal or glass template inside a lighting fixture that projects patterns, logos, monograms, or decorative designs onto floors, walls, and ceilings. Custom gobos can be made with your company logo or wedding monogram in days.

Best for: Corporate · Weddings · Branding
Stage Wash

Even, consistent illumination across a stage or performance area so presenters, performers, and speakers are clearly visible from every seat. Critical for any event with a stage, podium, or panel. Often combined with key lighting for video recording.

Best for: Corporate · Conferences · Theater
Atmospheric Effects

Hazers and low-fog machines add depth to light beams and create an immersive atmosphere. Essential for concerts and high-production events. Hazers produce a fine mist that makes beam lights visible — transforming a plain stage into a dramatic spectacle.

Best for: Concerts · Festivals · Productions
Pipe & Drape

Fabric backdrops on a pipe-and-base structure used to create stage backdrops, partition rooms, or hide unsightly walls and equipment. Often combined with uplighting or gobo projection for a polished, finished look behind speakers and performers.

Best for: All Events · Stage Backdrops
