What color would you like your room to be?

How about...All of them?

Why Uplight?  Many banquet spaces are a plain box. They lack personality or can sometimes even be unattractive. Event lighting is by far the most economical way to transform your plain space into a spectacular environment. Think of it as a blank canvas. Even the most beautiful and unique of spaces can benefit from some additional atmosphere.

Venue Uplighting is the hottest trend in elegance and decor. Especially popular for weddings, Uplighting can enhance the atmosphere at any event; like a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Sweet 16, Anniversary or Birthday Party and even Corporate Events.  Just about any occasion can benefit from our accent Uplighting.

Wedding Uplighting is the art of painting with light to create a truly magical background for the most beautiful and well planned day of your lives together as a couple.  Uplighting brings your wedding to life.  Dresses, flowers, linens and the entire room will all work together to create an inviting and entertaining space.

Using DMX technology, the lighting fixtures can be programmed to change colors simultaneously, or in different patterns or with special effects.  We offer a rainbow of colors for you to choose from. You may have a static color throughout the event or we can gently fade from one color to another. We can even make the lights pulsate to the beat of the music once the dance floor opens.   

These LED fixtures do not produce the heat common to traditional spotlights.  Running cool, they can be safely positioned anywhere.

Unlike most others who offer Uplighting services, we employ wireless DMX transmitters.  That means that you'll get a neater, cleaner set-up and you'll never have to worry about stepping on or tripping over wires that have been duct taped to the floor.  And we take care of everything...A well dressed lighting technician will be on duty to set-up and breakdown all of the equipment before and after the performance and to operate the Uplighting system throughout the event.

Here are some basic effects that are achievable with uplighting: 

Washes of Color
Our most popular effect is to provide washes of color or colors around the room. They can either be set to a static color or fade through colors at varying speeds.  You may want a static color as guests arrive for social hour and dinner.  Then the lights can be synchronized to slowly fade from color to color when the dancing begins.

Dance Lighting
LED's can quickly fade through a number of colors, strobe or change to the beat of the music. Each of these effects add energy to the room.  It's great for dancing. 

Under Table Lighting
This effect can look really great with a bar or the head table. Having white linens surrounding the table and placing a light or lights inside the table can add washes of color to the physical table in the room and look really neat.  This is a wonderful effect for the cake table also.  

Architectural Uplighting
Uplighting is usually placed on the floor to shine up walls, columns, draperies, fireplaces or outside behind trees and other props to give that extra appeal.  Lighting up the exit of the room or venue can be a nice effect for the photos at night time.
