Wedding Lighting

tttorie

Last night I  got a price quote for the LED lighting during our reception . I was quoted $650 for one standard color  throughout the night and $850 for the various color options which means it would change throughout the night (while eating dinner, dancing, cutting the cake etc.)

I was wondering how many brides have opted for a lighting package for their reception and what prices were you quoted.

</div><div>Draping is SOOO important for me during the ceremony. I love my location but I don't like the top of the pillars so I want to add flare. I posted a pic below of what it looks like bare and what I hope to achieve after i add draping (minus the flowers) . I'm going to write a post about finding affordable draping but if you spot any deals PLEASE let me know.  </div>

I'm only have wall washes and they will be the same color throughout the night. I will have a total of 12 for 400 dollars.

I will have wall washes too, but they are included with my venue package.

I'm having lighting. I used a company called DIYuplighting.com and basically they ship the lights to you and you plug them up and there are instructions with how to program with color. They rent for $19/light. Where did you get your quote from and for how many lights? Don't jump too fast, because our DJ quoted us 12 LED lights for $100. ALSO they are charging an extra $200 for the lights to change colors? That's crazy because all it is is a push of a button during programming. I'd find another company or see if your DJ offers lighting. I'm about to cancel my reservation with DIYuplighting because that is one less thing I have to coordinate with the venue and event designer to set up, so if the DJ can do it, great.
