Beams of color dance across the ceiling, reflecting off the curved wood and shining through the open architectural details. The movement of the lights matches the cheering and clapping of the audience. The first auction package has just been won, elevating excitement among the guests. At the tech table, the lighting system is reset for the next round of friendly, competitive bidding at this joyful fundraising event.
Lighting design not only transforms a space—it also evokes emotion. At AVENUE, our integrated lighting systems are key features of our AV-forward event venue and an essential element of every event.
In this article, we share details about our lighting, showcase examples, and explore the importance of creative lighting design for events.
Bring Everyone’s Attention to the Stage
In a large event space such as AVENUE, strategic use of lighting guides guests through the space. Before your program, guests will naturally be drawn to the brighter lighting of the reception area, where your registration, bar, and photobooth are all cast in inviting light. As the social hour concludes and guests are invited to take their seats, the lighting shifts, and pinspot table lights directed down at each table illuminate the beautiful table decor and settings. As your emcee ascends the stage, our two ceiling-mounted Chauvet Ovation Reve E3 Ellipsoidal Spot fixtures fade up, casting a warm white stage wash while the reception area darkens just enough.
Engage and Immerse with Professional Lighting Design
What makes our attractive curved wood-beam ceiling even more beautiful? Impactful LED lighting, of course. Our lighting designer will create a dramatic, colorful, or subtle look appropriate for your event theme, graphics, and program.
Around the event space, twenty-four fully dimmable, color Freedom Par H9 uplights are placed for maximum effect, adding color and depth while complementing your event’s color scheme. In addition to their visual appeal, uplights draw attention to specific areas such as your silent auction and event decor, and they highlight venue details, including our Story Walls and moss art.
