Lighting can transform the same venue from a bright conference hall to a romantic reception. Here are the basics our team uses when designing an event.

Warm vs cool light

Warm white feels cosy and elegant, perfect for weddings. Cool white feels clean and modern, often used for corporate stages.

Layer your lighting

  • Ambient: overall light for the whole venue
  • Accent: uplights on walls, flowers and pillars
  • Stage: focused light on the couple or speakers

Chandeliers and fairy lights

Crystal chandeliers and hanging fairy lights add sparkle and depth to the ceiling, which guests often forget but always notice in photos.
