DJ lighting or afternoon wedding?

Hello All,

I am getting married at the Hilton Garden Inn in Staten Island this summer. It is an early afternoon reception in the Persimmon and Trevi rooms. One DJ told us we should have some lighting for the dance floor and another told us there really is no need. Both of those rooms get lots of light during the day and we probably would not see the effect of the lighting. We are on a tight budget and were wondering if anyone has experienced an afternoon event there with a DJ and what do they think of the need for some lighting? It is at the Nicotra Ballroom

Thanks!

    I've never been to that venue, but it seems unnecessary to me.  Obviously the DJ is going to try to sell you on as much as possible but if the room is well lit and the wedding is during the day, I think that it is probably correct that you won't be able to see most of the effects.

    I would skip it. It needs to be dark to see lights well. You would be wasting your money.
