DIY Lighting?

I don't have the layout yet, but I'll be renting uplights from one of these companies.

Thanks Donna, Ive tried these places but Ive waited too late my wedding is in 3 weeks and they are booked for the date..

I was looking into puchasing maybe a strobe light or disco ball from spencers. I just want the light for the dance floor so I wondered if anyone had used these before..I relly hope so but if not no bid deal just on of those things I thought about too late lol

Bummer. Are you having a DJ? A lot of them have lighting equipment. I love disco balls but strobe lights make me dizzy and nauseous. lol

What kind of lighting are you looking for? We had DIY uplighting, paper lanterns, and various backlit menus and signs. Details are here.

@ Donna I am having a DJ however its FH's dad and he normally DJ's at clubs only so I dont beleive he has lights but I will ask.. Thanks!

@2d Bride Im looking to have some time of color on the dance floor. Nothing too extravagant I just dont want it to look plain

Check on eBay for "party strobe light" There are lots there.

Thanks 2dBride! Im also checking out your link, very good information. Did you do that yourself?

Yep, I did all that stuff!

Spirithalloween.com Or other halloween retailers. Spirit has some new colored plug in spotlights for 17 bucks.

I am thinking of doing my own lighting.

We haven't had our wedding yet, but I will be designing part of our lighting scheme. Our reception venue has LED uplights, but I actually have access to parnels and fernels to do 'actual' lighting since I have worked as a lighting designer for a theatre before. What types of lights were you thinking of doing? Maybe I can help?

I'm doing these types of lights over the dance floor and and tables. Sorry about the bad quality of pic, was a crappy phone camera.

Both the spheres and cylinders are DIY, but they do require hanging, some venues don't allow that.

Lighting can make the Reception room beautiful if the right equipment is used. However, if the load is too much or the rented equipment is not installed properly, it could be a hazard. Professional Lighting is more affordable than you think and certainly worth the piece of mind.

The easiest DIY uplights to rent are at rentuplights.com. They are completely wireless so just take them out of the case, turn them on and place them around the room. You aren't limited by a few colors like the other plugin rental lights. Photo shows a nice blue with about 16 of those lights.
