Any recs for companies that do uplighting?

My DJ company does it $400 for head table, $600 for the entire venue. I'd just like to price around and see if that's a good deal or if I could find something better.

    I would love to find out other recs too! I'm interested but only if it's affordable.

    I have seen a couple girls recommend this company. Not sure if it is affordable but worth a call!

    Highly recommend Art of Imagination - not sure if they are the lowest priced, but the quality of work is amazing (they did the lighting for my wedding)!  Deborah might take awhile to get back to you but I think she is worth it!

    When I was pricing out options I also looked into Chicago Lighting Design and Len was very reasonable and responsive.  Good luck!

    I HIGHLY recommend Admit One DJ's. They are located in Naperville, IL. I had them for my wedding. They charged me $35 per static uplight (the ones that do not change colors throughout the night, you pick the color). I think the cost for lights that changed color were $50 per light. Find out how many lights are included in the head table and venue lighting packages, and then you can see the cost breakdown per light. The owner of Admit One came and set up our uplighting himself (Greg). It looked great!

    We are using Elegant Event Lighting in Schaumburg.....

    We wanted to include backdrops and ceiling draping, and he is able to do all of it.  In addition, our venue has a floor to ceiling enclosed waterfall/fountain when you first enter, and he is able to change the lighting in it to coordinate with the reception uplighting as well.

    You guys are awesome, thanks! I blame "Platinum Weddings" for even showing me this existed. It'll be an extra so if it's not affordable, it's axed. But damn, they look awesome!

    I second Admit One... we are not using them for uplighting, only as our DJ, but their uplighting seems to look top notch!!

    so does Admit One do uplighting if you don't hire them for their DJ service? $35 sound great per light especially since you can choose to do however many you want.
