Short answer... yes. But it's important to understand why.
First, let's talk about what uplighting is.
Uplighting is a technique that involves placing wash lights against walls or unique features in a space as a way of highlighting them and ultimately tying the room together. Uplighting is also used in other settings like atmospheric bars, outdoor events, and landscaping.
Uplighting can have a number of transformative benefits:
Uplighting can tie an entire room together, even if the room is quite large. The bar and the bathrooms can be 250+ feet away from one another and on opposite ends of a room, but professional uplighting will allow guests to feel as though the whole space is connected.
It also draws the eye to unique features in the event space. Uplighting can be especially effective in classic venues with elegant columns or in rustic venues with wooden beams.
Once the dancing begins at a reception, the house lights are generally dimmed or totally turned off, leaving only the dance floor sufficiently illuminated. Uplighting helps to keep the entire space lit so guests and staff can comfortably move throughout the room.
Experienced DJs and lighting professionals will use high-powered, wireless LED uplighting. In many cases, these lights are completely customizable for your event. In fact, DJ Matt Minnehan Entertainment offers event uplighting that can be custom matched to the exact colors for your wedding.
Honestly, the photos speak for themselves. The bottom line is that proper uplighting will transform your event space from a stock reception room to a beautiful, lively, and unique celebration space. After seeing an event with uplighting, it's hard to be a part of an event without it. The difference is really that significant. For that reason, DJ Matt Minnehan Entertainment is offering uplighting for FREE for all 2021 and 2022 weddings (you can read more about wedding services here).
