Uplighting FAQ

What is uplighting at a wedding?
Uplighting at a wedding is a professional lighting technique where wireless LED lights are placed around the perimeter of a reception venue to wash the walls and architectural features in color. It is the most popular and cost-effective way to transform the atmosphere of any event space, creating a dramatic and personalized ambiance that matches your wedding color palette.
How much does uplighting rental cost?
Uplighting rental cost depends on the number of fixtures needed and your venue location. Most wedding uplighting packages in San Diego start at a few hundred dollars for a smaller installation and increase based on venue size and the number of uplights required. Contact us for a free custom quote based on your specific venue.
How many uplights do I need for my wedding?
The number of uplights depends on your venue size and the desired effect. As a general rule, we recommend one uplight every 6-8 feet along the walls you want to illuminate. Most wedding receptions use 12-30 uplights. We provide a free venue consultation to determine the ideal number for your space.
Can uplighting colors be changed during the event?
Yes. Our wireless LED uplights can be reprogrammed instantly. Many couples choose to start with one color during cocktail hour or dinner, then transition to a different color or dynamic color-changing program for dancing. All color changes are included in our service.
What is the difference between uplighting and pin spotting?
Uplighting illuminates walls and architectural features to set the overall mood and color of a room. Pin spotting uses focused beams of light aimed at specific elements like centerpieces, cake, or head table to make them pop. Many clients use both together for a complete lighting design.
Do you provide uplighting for corporate events?
Absolutely. Corporate event uplighting is one of our specialties. We provide uplighting for galas, award ceremonies, product launches, holiday parties, and conferences. We can match your brand colors precisely and integrate uplighting with stage lighting and AV production.

“We used Brilliant Event Lighting for our wedding. They were recommended to us by our venue who they have worked with multiple times in the past. We got married on a military base, which included a lot of paperwork. Scott was very professional and organized, which made this so much easier! Although we didn't interact too much, they were very efficient in getting in to set up on time and coming back to take everything down in a timely manner. We highly recommend them, they changed the whole ambiance of our entire wedding venue!”
