Lighting is one of the most crucial elements in event planning. It sets the mood, highlights key areas, and can transform an ordinary space into an extraordinary experience. At Glo Events, we understand the power of lighting, and that’s why we’ve partnered with Avideas, an industry leader in event hire. Founded by Greg Field and Chris Field, Avideas brings a wealth of expertise and creativity to every event. In this blog, we’ll share expert tips from our lighting specialists, Avideas, to help you elevate your next event with stunning lighting.
The Importance of Lighting in Event Planning
Lighting is more than just illumination; it’s an art form. Proper lighting can enhance the atmosphere, create focal points, and evoke emotions. Greg Field emphasises that lighting should be an integral part of your event planning process, not an afterthought. “Lighting sets the tone for the entire event,” Greg says. “It’s the difference between a good event and a truly memorable one.”
Choosing the Right Lighting for Your Event
Selecting the appropriate lighting for your event is crucial. Here are some tips to guide you:
- Ambient Lighting: This type of lighting creates the overall mood of the event. For a warm and inviting atmosphere, consider using soft, diffused lighting.
- Accent Lighting: Use accent lighting to highlight specific areas or features, such as centrepieces, stages, or architectural elements.
- Task Lighting: Essential for areas where activities will take place, such as dining tables or bars.
Chris Field adds, “Think about the journey you want your guests to experience. Lighting can guide them and enhance their interaction with the space.”
