We were contracted by Lydia and Chris to provide light scaping and dance floor lighting for their July 4th Reception at The Statler Hotel on the Cornell Campus in Ithaca.
Lydia was awesome to plan with and we didn’t have much time to put her package together I think the photos show how much the lighting really transfo…rms the room. Lydia was in contact with us very last minute after an issue with someone she had previously contracted was non responsive.
We provided perimeter uplighting in white to accent the pink on the tables and then used pink in an adjacent lounge area to tie in with the color scheme. I didn’t want the platinum and white table and chair covers to reflect to much pink and turn everything pink and the amound of pink and white balanced just right.
We also provided a moving texture effect on the dancefloor. I used two “liquid projectors” with a white moving gobo to create a subtle moving texture of ice in the dace floor. The house lights above the dace floor were brought up just enough to create the perfect amount of light.
Schuyler set up the system prior to their reception and did a really great job. After my reception at Belhurst Castle the same evening I drove from Geneva to Ithaca and tore down the setup and then drove home to Penn Yan.
I arrived just as their reception was finishing and it looked like they had a great time.
