Lighting for Live Events

Stage washes, intelligent fixtures and color that shape the mood of the entire room.

Lighting is the fastest way to change how a room feels. We design and program packages that light your speakers cleanly for camera, wash your ballroom in brand color, and add movement and energy when the program calls for it — all hung, focused and operated by our own crew.

Lighting outcomes

Recent lighting work from live events across the region, and what the client walked away with.

Historic New Orleans event hall

Black-tie gala relight

Challenge: House lighting flattened the room and left the stage unusable for camera during the awards program.

Outcome: Warm key and back light for the podium, brand-color uplights on every column and pin spots on each table. The live stream and photographers worked off the same look with no adjustments.

Convention center meeting rooms

Multi-day conference look package

Challenge: Six breakout rooms plus a main stage needed a consistent brand look with a single operator.

Outcome: One programmed show file drove every room from a central console, so sponsor color changes rolled out everywhere in seconds.
