These portable lights can be placed around the room giving definition to even the most dull corners. Uplights are a great way to not only incorporate light but color into your reception space. Most DJ’s will have them available and many include them in their packages.  Find the hue that best accents your decor, it really makes the space feel unified.  When in doubt, go with amber – it looks like a candlelight glow!

Hanging Bulbs

Whether you want to go vintage with Edison bulbs or modern with cafe lights, hanging lights are a great way to create a romantic setting for you event.  Drape them from the ceiling over guest tables or dim them low over the dance floor. You really can’t go wrong with this look.

Candlelight

Weddings and candle light go hand in hand, they were made for each other. Line guest tables, gift tables, and buffets.  Create a cascade around your sweetheart table. The possibilities for candlelight really are endless. Here at Magnificent Moments Weddings, we’re convinced the more candles, the better the wedding!
