Art the DJ lighting blog

This upcoming weekend we have an outside wedding for approximately 130 guests in a park setting. We will be lighting all of the perimeter trees in the area where the reception will be held with 12 L.E.D. up-lights and then we are lighting four, 60-70' palm trees with four high-power L.E.D. fixtures. All of the guest tables will be light with 2high-power ellipsoidal fixtures with blue-gelled gobos of tree leaves. Next we will have six spot-lights illuminating the cake, desert and coffee tables. To finish things off, we will have two 3-D lasers projecting into all of the tree tops. And then we are the DJs also!

 

General Lighting Information

When you think about how important flowers are to the look of your ceremony and reception, know that lighting is that important to the wow of your dance floor. Room and dance floor lighting is probably the area where you can spend the least while getting the most value. Show your family and friends how much you care about their enjoyment at your wedding the instant they walk into your reception environment.

 

Professional lighting on your wedding reception dance floor is one of the most important suggestions I can make as a DJ. You won't be disappointed!

 

You have invested a lot of resources into how appealing your wedding looks from start to finish. Your dance floor should be as inviting as any dance floor in an elegant, exclusive, private club.

 

From my experience, lighting plays a large part of how fun your dance floor is for your guests! If you want your guests to dance, make it fun and inviting.

 

 

Below are some of the lighting examples we have to offer. Allow me the chance to work with you to help select the best type of lighting that will ensure your dance floor is classy, appealing and fun for all of your family and guests.

 

**NOTE - OUR LIGHTING SERVICES ARE ONLY AVAILABLE TO EVENTS WHERE WE ARE ALSO BOOKED AS THE DJ. WE DO NOT OFFER JUST LIGHTING SERVICES.

Notice how empty the tables are, lighting your dance floor makes a big difference in drawing your friends out onto the dance floor. You have invested so much into your reception, lighting is the area that turns your dark dance floor into excitement. We all know that receptions are judged by the dance floor and how much fun your guests have on it.

Check to see if we are available on your wedding day

Thank you Art. Everything turned out as planned. We really appreciate you coordinating with the Harpist/Guitarist, the Caterers and with our family in getting things going in a timely fashion. It was great to see everyone dancing and having fun. My little nieces and nephews danced the whole time and then all of our friends and family were tearing it up. Im thinking the age range was 3 years to 75 years and everyone enjoyed your talents. We will keep you in mind for future events and recommend you to our friends. Steve and I were tired. I know the young adults wanted to go on and on but we had to get some rest...We will always remember you and the work you put forth to make our wedding day perfect.....

Thanks again Art! You made the girls birthday party a huge success. You seemed to handle the onslaught of kids and all their requests all night long without any problems at all. We don’t know how you do it year after year, but you do and we keep hiring you back. The lighting was great, you kept the volume loud enough for the kids without making all of the parents crazy. You’re so easy to get along with. We’ll be calling you again.

Thanks again,

Liz and Craig Horton

You guys did an awesome job! Everybody really enjoyed themselves at our wedding, and we received many many compliments on "our DJ". The playlist was PERFECT, and it was awesome how you were able to set the right mood and keep the energy flowing! We would definitely recommend your services in the future, and without a doubt love to have you again.

Thanks so much!!!

Art,

 

Thank you so much for making our wedding celebration a day to remember. We have been to weddings before were the DJ was not memorable and we have to say YOU were awesome. We have people still calling us today telling us that the wedding was the best they ever been to, and that our DJ was the best they have ever heard at any wedding. You are wonderful at what you do and you were so easy and laidback to work with that with all the other plans that go into a wedding, working with you was a breeze. We know that there was a lot of specific songs that we wanted to be played and we are so appreciative for you finding the unusually ones that we requested. We are sure we will see you again in the future. Going with Art The DJ, you just can’t go wrong.

 

Thank you so much,

Hello Art!

Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job at our wedding reception! My husband and I had a blast and so did our guests! Our feet hurt for two days after the wedding because we couldn't stay off the dance floor! You and Isabel did such a great job accommodating the songs we wanted played along with requests from our guests. Thank you for working so closely with Ryan and me to chose the perfect songs that made our reception absolutely perfect and a day that we will truly remember forever!

Thank You,
Ryan and Jolena Hubler

Thanks for the great work and making our special day even more memorable than we could imagine.

Hi Art!

Thanks so much for the great reception! Kathleen and I are just back from the honeymoon and settling in.

We had so many compliments from the guests about the reception, including all the aunts and uncles who we thought would be hardest to impress! Your selection of tunes kept the dance floor hopping even though it was hot as an oven up there! And your skills as a reception MC gave a smooth flow to all the rituals like the garter toss and cake cutting and on and on!

Thanks again for a wonderful wedding reception!

You and your wife did a wonderful job entertaining the friends and family at the reception. I'm pleased to hear that people were still dancing till the end. Heather and I had a great day on Saturday and couldn't ask for anything more.
