Frequently Asked Questions About Wedding Lighting

Will lighting really make a difference in my venue?

Absolutely. Professional lighting is often the single most impactful element in transforming a venue's appearance. The difference is dramatic - many venues appear flat and uninspiring with standard lighting, but come alive with professional design.

How many uplights do I need for my venue?

This depends on your venue size and architecture. As a general guideline, smaller venues (up to 100 guests) typically need 12-16 uplights, medium venues (100-200 guests) require 20-28, and larger spaces may need 30+. During your consultation, we'll recommend the optimal number.

Can you match specific colors for my wedding theme?

Yes! Our LED lighting systems can reproduce virtually any color with precision. We can match specific Pantone colors, fabric swatches, or design elements from your wedding.

Do I need special permission from my venue?

Most Portland venues are familiar with our services and approve our lighting equipment. We follow all venue guidelines regarding power usage, setup times, and attachment methods. We'll handle any required venue coordination.

When do you set up the lighting equipment?

We typically arrive 3-5 hours before your event starts to ensure ample time for setup and testing. For complex installations or venues with limited access time, we may arrange day-before setup for an additional fee.

Can the lighting colors change throughout the night?

Absolutely! Our programmable systems allow for seamless color changes throughout your event. Many couples choose elegant, softer colors for ceremony and dinner, transitioning to more vibrant, energetic colors for dancing.
