Full Room…Full Lighting Control=Awesome!!!!! Chris and Andrea had us provide lighting for their reception at the Statler Hotel on the Cornell University Campus in Ithaca on July 3. We have been at Statler a number or previous times and always love working with Melissa and her staff. They are so acommodating to their clients and to us.
We set the room and linked all the fixtures back to our laptop and software based light contol. Chris and Andrea wanted to change the color of the lighting through out the evening and have ceretain colors for certain traditions. Dave was my light tech for the event and worked with Chris and Andrea to subtly set the room lighting/colors to their desired colors at the appropriate time. The rest of the evening we set the lights to match their wedding colors for 10 minute intervals and then did a 10 second gradient change from one color to another. I was very happy with the outcome and so were Chris and Andrea. The colors we used were in this sequence Green-Blue-Purple-Yellow. I was very happy with the yellow. Many LED Fixtures don’t replicate yellow or amber very well but I was very happy with the yellow.
Here are photos of the lighting from photographer Frank Dimeo.
On a side note. We are at the Statler often with event lighting. If only we could DJ there! Hire us to do both you’ll have a wonderful looking room AND a party for the ages!

I was prepping for a 50th anniversary party this weekend and the clients requested some jitterbug songs. I came across this list and thought I would share it. It’s a very helpful and fun list of some classics!
