There are no doubts that event lighting is one of the most significant factors that need unique attention to bring the wonderful and exclusive atmosphere to life. Unique concepts of using the different kinds of lighting equipment can transform any empty room to an elegant and visually appealing ballroom.

In addition, lighting determines how your guests see the space, the ambiance, the decorations, centrepieces, brightness and overall colour. It also affects the photography. Therefore, here are three useful tips to successful event lighting.

#1 - Add or hide venue features

Many event planners learn that the ideal venue just doesn't exist. Factoring in funds, place, catering, capacity and many other needs, planners frequently end up choosing the best option while compromising in other areas. For some, this may mean having their space broken up by obtrusive columns. For others, it may need segmenting a ballroom with distasteful air-walls. For still more, it means working with tasteless wall paper or carpeting. Today's lighting effects can cleverly hide, reduce or play up different features to conform the room to the planner's vision. Some can shine in a way that alters the colour or smoothes over the pattern of existing walls and flooring. Others focus attention away from the unpleasant feature or alternately call attention to it while making it more attractive.

#2 - Add dance floor lighting

According to many DJs and sound system hire specialists, dance floor lighting takes your event to a whole new level, giving your special event the look and feel of a nightclub or concert. The only limitation of dance floor lighting is your imagination! With the use of an individual controller, your lighting technician can manage the patterns, pace, colour and other functions of the light fixtures. The colours are brighter, more dramatic and offer more combinations than ordinary lighting. Dance floor lighting also gives the ability to spotlight your unique moments and a real wow aspect to your event!

#3 - Add Custom Monogram Gobo

Custom monogram and texture gobos have become increasingly admired over the past few years. If you've dreamed of having your name in lights and be a start of the event then the custom monogram light is your answer. There are hundreds of pre-designed monograms to choose from or you can create your own and even match it to your invitations or event program. The textured gobos are patterns that shine on the dance floor or any focal point throughout your event. These patterns can really add to your design and make your images stand out. They can transform any dull, empty surface to a stunning backdrop. Both the custom monogram and textured gobos require a heavy duty light and quite a bit of power. They also have a production cost associated with them since each gobo has to be custom created for your event. However, these lights can add a lot of value to your lighting design and truly make your event unique!
