Up-Lighting
Up-lighting is a popular lighting technique that involves placing lights on the ground and pointing them upward to illuminate walls, columns, or other architectural features of the venue. This type of lighting can add depth, dimension, and drama to your wedding reception. You can choose from a wide range of colors to match your wedding theme and create the perfect vibe for your special day.

Pin Spot Lighting
Pin spot lighting is a type of focused lighting that can be used to highlight specific areas of your wedding venue, such as the cake table, centrepieces, or dance floor. These lights are small and discreet, and they can create a dramatic effect by illuminating key features of your wedding palette. Pin spot lighting is especially useful if you want to draw attention to certain elements of your wedding reception or create a more intimate atmosphere.
