What are the differences between dance floor lighting, uplighting, and intelligent lighting?

Dance Floor Lighting is lighting directed to dance-floor area. These are multi-colored lights that help create a lively, exciting environment! 

Uplighting is a popular lighting effect created by strategically placing lighting fixtures on the floor around the perimeter of the venue and pointing them upwards. Thus creating the effect of "up lighting".

 

Uplighting is a very effective way to dramatically improve the ambience of an event space. You can rent up to 28x Uplights at a time depending on the size of your venue.

 

Intelligent lighting refers to lighting that has automated or mechanical abilities beyond basic dance floor lighting with glowing totems.

Does the ceremony time need to be included in the total package hours?

You only have to get the ceremony setup if the ceremony is taking place in separate location from where the reception is taking place.

 

 

 

Example: Reception is taking place inside the ballroom, ceremony is outside. You need the ceremony setup.
