FAQ'S Everything you need to know about event lighting

What's the difference between uplighting and regular lighting?

Uplighting specifically refers to lights placed on the floor that shine upward, washing walls and architectural features with color. Regular venue lighting comes from overhead and typically provides general illumination. Uplighting is decorative and transformative: it changes the entire look and feel of a venue with dramatic color and ambiance.

How many uplights do I need for my venue?

This depends on your venue size and layout. Typically, we recommend 12–20 uplights for smaller venues, 20–30 for medium venues, and 30+ for large venues or to create maximum impact. We've worked with every venue in Charleston and can recommend the ideal number for your specific space and budget.

Can you match our wedding colors?

Absolutely! Our wireless LED fixtures offer virtually unlimited color options. Whether you need to match specific wedding colors, corporate brand colors, or create a custom palette, we can dial in the exact shades you want. We can even program different colors for different parts of your event.

Is lighting really worth the investment?

Yes! Lighting is one of the most impactful and cost-effective ways to transform your venue. Even the most beautiful venues benefit from strategic lighting that enhances architectural features, creates atmosphere, and sets the mood. Many couples say their venue looked completely different, in the best way, with professional lighting.
