What a better way to show off your creative side than to have excellent lighting at your event. The question is how do you do this? What do you need to ask for? There are event production companies in about every area that can provide services to you but doing a little research can help you ask the right questions and get the right answers.
First find out your venue’s lighting capacity. Some venues do not have enough power to pull in beautiful theatrical lighting so you may have to rent a generator.
Second figure out your budget with all of the options today LED is sometimes the way to go in costs.
Third decide if you are going for color (led or gels) or if you want a design incorporated (gobo’s can produce designs but can be a little more expensive)
See the links below that give you some great detail on lighting & the options that are out there. And when in a bind call your local event production company, like Live Technologies (http://www.livetechnologiesinc.com) they can be very informative.
