How many fixtures
Small rooms need fewer fixtures and ballrooms need more. I check bare walls and alcoves on the call.

Wedding uplighting FAQ
What is uplighting at a wedding?
Uplighting is a row of LED fixtures around the floor perimeter. Each one washes colour up the wall, and you choose the colour. The overhead lighting stays as it is. I match the walls to your wedding palette, which helps in wide photos and makes the room feel designed instead of beige.
What is DJ uplighting?
DJ uplighting is the same LED wall wash, added to your DJ booking. It is an add-on, and it is arranged for your event and confirmed in your quote. It is an easy upgrade because setup is already happening, so the fixtures go in with the rest of my gear.
How much does uplighting cost for a wedding?
Small rooms need a handful of fixtures, and ballrooms need perimeter coverage, so the count drives the quote. I give you the price on a short call once I know your venue, the fixture count and how much of the day is covered. The equipment details are confirmed in your quote.
How much does it cost to rent uplighting?
Standalone rental is quoted by room and fixture count on a short call, after I have seen the venue. Most couples add uplighting to a DJ booking instead of renting it separately, because setup is already happening. Tell me your room and I tell you which way makes more sense.
What colour uplighting should I choose for my wedding?
I match a swatch or hex code from your dresses or florals. Saturated colours look dramatic, while soft amber and blush look romantic. Warm amber flatters skin in photos, so it is a safe pick if you cannot decide. Send me a photo of your palette and I suggest a shade.
How do we pick a colour that will not clash with the venue?
Send me a fabric swatch or a hex code for an exact shade, plus a photo of the room if you have one. Soft amber or candlelight works with almost any room and flatters skin in photos. I check the walls on our call and tell you if a colour will fight the room.
Are there cables running all over the floor?
No. The wireless, battery-powered fixtures sit against the walls, so there are no floor cables for guests to trip on. I place and program them before guests arrive, and I take them down quietly at the end of the night, after the party is over.
Can we have a different colour for dancing than for dinner?
Yes. Your palette colour stays on for the ceremony and dinner. When the dancing starts, the fixtures can switch to sound-active mode, and the walls pulse on the beat. Tell me during planning if you want a second colour for the dance floor, and I set it up.
