Event entrance lighting to impress
So, how can you use lighting to create a dramatic and impressive entrance to your venue? Well, there are a number of things you can consider, including:
- Light projections- projecting light colours or patterns onto the external front face of your venue can really add character and visual interest to the space. Internally, this can also be effective in any entrance or foyer space, or even along any corridor. GOBO projection can be a great choice to achieve this. If you are aiming to create a particular atmosphere or mood, make sure your projected lighting echos this theme, to set the right tone, right from the start.
- Architectural uplighting- architectural uplighting is a way of illuminating your venue, with light pointing upwards, instead of down. This can highlight any interesting architectural features, which is especially effective for period and gothic properties. This can create a stunning, sophisticated result that adds a touch of elegance to your event.
- Hallway uplighting- internally, illuminating any entrance hallways with uplights, instead of downlights can be very effective. You can illuminate from floor or skirting board level, or even from part way up the wall, to create an interesting and effective visual feature.
- Video wall- video walls combine LED screens of various sizes to create a whole wall of light and colour. In your entrance, this can be used as an information board, to help your guests find their feet, or you can use it simply as a bold, bright feature that is guaranteed to grab their attention. This can even be used to display the logos or information of any of your event sponsors, perfect for marketing.
- Lighting shapes on the floor- while most lighting features will focus on lighting the walls or ceiling, you could focus on darkening your entrance or entrance hallways, and instead casting light shapes on the floor with GOBO projectors. This can really add style and sophistication to any event.
- Illuminated walkway- if you are opting for a star studded red carpet type of event, you could create an entrance walkway, illuminated at different sections along the way. This can really create a sense of elitist style and add a dramatic touch to your event, setting the mood for the rest of the evening.
