Learn Lighting Lingo

Here are the types of lighting commonly used at weddings.

Color wash
There are a few different types of light fixtures that can create a “wash,” which is basically a blanket of colored light covering an entire area.

Led
Short for light-emitting diodes, LED lights are currently popular for weddings because they use much less electricity (and don’t get hot) than regular, incandescent light bulbs. LEDs are great for color changes and vibrant colors.

Lighting Tips for Receptions and Banquets

If you’re planning an evening reception, make sure to visit your site at least once when it’s dark outside. Look around the room and see where the fixed lighting is focused. Lights that illuminate the walls, windows, and ceiling can draw attention away from the center of the room — and you want to keep everyone’s eyes on the tables, dance floor, and each other. Ask if the site has dimmers for their overhead lights, and if there’s any florescent lighting at all, keep it turned off! Also, make sure there won’t be any service doors kept open, which could flood the space with light and ruin the effect.
