If there’s a task we can’t handle, chances are we know someone who can. Clients and venues often say to us, “Nobody ever did that here before!” We imagine new ways to provide solutions that used to require significant expense or unsafe methods. If you were told that a certain service couldn’t be done, give us a call. We specialize in delivering perfection, even with difficult or unusual requests. If we lose money doing the job right but the client is happy, we are also happy. Very occasionally we’ll find that we need to add a component to safely do a job or provide the best experience for the client. In the background, our technical teams are taking the equipment specified by the sales team and determining the safest and most efficient way to set it up. The client selects the style they prefer and we set it up at the event. A portfolio of lighting options is available to examine a selection of choices. Once we have an idea of a client’s vision, and have taken a look at the venue, we’ll offer lighting, sound, AV, and decor options that align with the theme of the event, look sleek and classy without having unsightly components, and, most importantly, provide for a safe event. If a large projector screen is needed right on the edge of a seating area, we’ll be sure to use a rear-projection screen so the image isn’t blocked by people walking in front of it. We can shoot a client’s logo as a”gobo” on a wall of drape or put narrow spots on the centerpieces of tables. We might “wash” a wall or ceiling with a single color, or, accent just the columns of a room with sleek, narrow uplighting. There are thousands of different styles of lighting fixtures and ways to add light or leave an area dark, as may be required. Of course, we also provide our clients with a virtual color picker, to choose colors in advance of an event. Many times it is useful to meet the client on site to demo some lighting products or get a feel for what colors will look good in an event space. If the venue is a spot we haven’t worked at, we’ll do a site survey to get measurements of a space, evaluate the feasibility of different lighting products, plan electrical usage and loading access, and find any limitations of the event site. We take this information and translate it into a complete event design, making it easy for our clients to have a perfect event. Our design and sales team consults with clients every day who tell us where they are having an event, how many people are attending, and might share a picture that they saw and would like to replicate. We “speak lighting” and translate for our clients.
It’s our job to explain the services we can provide that will accentuate and exemplify a vision that is given to us. Weddings and special events, however, bring clients who have a vision but might be unfamiliar with the terms that describe what they want to see and hear. Clients in that world typically have an idea of what their needs are and usually specify (often with a rider) exactly what equipment their production requires. Our start came from the concert and stage production world, which involves plenty of jargon and unique terms. We have an extensive portfolio of events at the John Marshall Ballrooms, and other venues all over the state.Īt The Lighting & Sound Co, we have provided event lighting and sound reinforcement for many years. The room changeover is completed with plenty of time to spare.Īre you booking a wedding or event at the Hotel John Marshall? Check out our services to learn more about what we can do to help make your event perfect. CCS staff relocates tables and chiavari chairs and LSC techs clear out the drape. Once the ceremony is over, there is a short window during cocktail hour for the event staff to reset the room. The wash lighting adds a warm amber glow and washes over the room. We also place amber uplights around the ballroom and hang pin spots and wash lighting for the ceiling in the balcony above. Sheer champagne gathers and amber uplights complete the look. Our crew creates a drape backdrop to cut the room in half for the ceremony, and CCS staff preps tables for the reception. So we created this time lapse for one of our Sunday weddings with CCS Events to show you some of the craziness. Memorial day weekend is always busy, and this year was no exception as we had a number of lighting and drape events. John Marshall Ballroom Wedding Lighting & Drape
