What is included
What is wedding uplighting, and what comes with Elevate Entertainment wedding lighting?
Wedding uplighting is lighting that colors the room itself: wireless lights stand around the edge of the room, point up the walls and glow in the colors you pick, so the color is there when guests walk in and behind every photo taken all night. It is not dance floor lighting, which lights the floor and already comes with every Elevate DJ booking, and it does a different job from the lighting most venues hang.
What comes with Elevate Entertainment wedding uplighting?
- Your exact colorsWe match light the way a paint counter matches paint, so it is your color and not close to your color.
- Sized to your roomThe number of lights comes from your guest count and the rooms you use, read from your floor plan, so the whole edge of the room is covered.
- Lights that react to the musicEach uplight has a small built-in microphone, so it reacts to the music on its own.

What does Elevate Entertainment wedding uplighting do on the night?
Elevate Entertainment wedding uplighting holds your colors on the walls all night: it is on as guests walk in, it stays behind the sweetheart table through dinner and the first dance, and it frames the dance floor while the dance floor lighting that comes with your DJ lights the floor itself.

Your colors are matched before the night and already on the walls as guests walk in, then stay behind the sweetheart table through dinner, so the pictures come back in your palette.

Dance floor lighting takes the floor, the uplights keep the walls in color, and with the towers the whole room moves with the music.

Your DJ runs it
Who runs my Elevate Entertainment wedding lighting on the night?
Your Elevate Entertainment DJ runs the lighting side of your wedding. The dance floor lighting comes with the DJ, the uplights react to the music on their own through built-in microphones, and, when you add them, the interactive lighting towers are wired into the DJ’s software, so the whole room runs one show.
What does the Elevate Entertainment DJ do with the lighting?
With the interactive lighting towers, the light follows the music because the show runs from the same software the DJ plays from: it swells when the music swells and settles when it settles. Uplighting on its own reacts through each light’s own built-in microphone.
- Lightsthe dance floor, every booking
- Playsthe music the uplights react to
- Runsthe towers from the DJ software
Lighting is added to your booking with an Elevate-Certified™ DJ and MC, never booked on its own; the Wedding DJ page covers that side of the night.

Which lighting
Uplighting, dance floor lighting or the towers: which Elevate Entertainment lighting fits my wedding?
Dance floor lighting comes with every Elevate DJ booking, so the choice is what you add: uplighting for your colors on the walls, the interactive lighting towers for a moving show, or both together. If your guest list skews older and the night has a relaxed family feel, uplighting on its own will make them happy; if your people are younger and used to clubs or festivals, add the towers, because you stop only hearing the night and start seeing it too.
| On the night | Uplighting | Dance floor lighting | Interactive lighting towers |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | Wireless lights around the edge of the room, pointed up the walls | The lighting that comes with your DJ | Two towers, with a moving head on top of each and sweepers that move with the music, and your DJ runs them from the DJ software |
| What it lights | The walls and the room itself, in your colors | The dance floor | The floor and the room, moving with the music as one show |
| How it comes | Added to your DJ booking, sized to your room | With every Elevate DJ booking | Added to your DJ booking, run from the DJ’s software |
| Best for | An older, relaxed crowd, and color behind every photo | Every wedding with an Elevate DJ | A younger crowd used to clubs and festivals |
What sets Elevate apart
What is different about Elevate Entertainment wedding lighting?
Three things are different about Elevate Entertainment wedding lighting: the color is matched to yours, the number of lights is sized to your floor plan, and the lighting comes from the same team and the same contract as the DJ who runs the show.
Your color, not close to it
We match light the way a paint counter matches paint, so it is your color and not close to your color. Bold palettes are where it pays off most.
Sized to your floor plan
We size it from your guest count and how many rooms you are using, so the whole edge of the room is covered without you paying for light you do not need.
One team, one contract
Your lighting comes from the same team as your DJ and MC, on one contract, and the towers run from that DJ’s own software.

What do Elevate Entertainment wedding lighting nights look like?

★★★★★“We loved our experience with Kassi as our DJ and the selfie mirror! The energy was great, the playlist was perfect and the lighting was so fun!! Everyone had a blast at our event thanks to the Elevate team! Thank you so much!! The phone calls before really helped get to know each other and the vision we had for our event and the team crushed it! Thank you!!!”
★★★★★“We used DJ Broc for our wedding this past July. Everything turned out absolutely perfect and we cannot say enough great things about the Elevate DJ Services. We purchased the uplighting package which is definetly a must. Broc kept the high energy from the minute the first song played, all the way to our sendoff song. If you want a high energy wedding that people will remember forever. DJ Broc with Elevate Entertainment is your guy, no questions asked! The professionalism for the music as well as announcements were exactly what we always dreamed of. Broc read the crowd perfectly, mixing the perfect blend of popular songs with hits that kept everyone young and old out of their seats. We will be sending everyone we know their direction so other couples can have a perfect experience that they will remember forever.”
★★★★★“We had an amazing experience with Jenna with Elevate Entertainment at our wedding! She knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept the energy high all night long. The music selection was perfect, and she seamlessly blended our favorite songs with great dance tracks. The lighting effects added an extra special touch to the atmosphere. Our guests had an absolute blast, and we received so many compliments on the Jenna. Highly recommend Elevate Entertainment for any event!”
★★★★★“Elevate Entertainment is the perfect entertainment service for your special event. We booked uplighting and their DJ service for our wedding, both of which were superb. Our DJ, Denny, was absolutely amazing! Trying to find the right music on our own was a bit daunting: What song should we use for our first introduction as Mr & Mrs? What song embodies the emotions of the father/daughter dance? The list goes on and on! However, Denny made all of these decisions effortless, and within one meeting, all of my musical concerns were solved. He had the perfect song suggestions based on our musical interests. He was professional and fun at our reception, going out of his way to make sure my husband and I were taken care of with food, cake, and even drinks. Booking Denny as a DJ or any of the many other services that Elevate Entertainment offers is something you won’t regret.”
★★★★★“Josh was amazing!!! What an awesome guy all around. Party was poppin, uplighting was fantastic, all around great choice for our music/ambiance!”

Our markets are Kansas City, Springfield, Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. Uplighting is added to your Elevate DJ booking, and checking your wedding date with us is the fastest way to ask.
Is dance floor lighting included with an Elevate Entertainment wedding DJ?
Yes, dance floor lighting comes with every Elevate DJ booking. Uplighting is the add-on that colors the walls and the room itself.
How is Elevate Entertainment uplighting different from the lighting my venue has?
It does a different job. What venues provide usually covers the dance floor, and dance floor lighting already comes with your DJ; uplighting colors the walls and the room itself. Tell us what your venue hangs and we will give you a straight answer.
How many uplights does my wedding need from Elevate Entertainment?
It depends on your room. We size it from your guest count and how many rooms you are using, so the whole edge of the room is covered without you paying for light you do not need. Send us your floor plan, or bring it to your Entertainment Design Session, and we size it for your room.
Can Elevate Entertainment match our wedding colors?
Yes. We match light the way a paint counter matches paint, so it is your color and not close to your color. Bold palettes are where it pays off most.
What are Elevate Entertainment’s interactive lighting towers?
They are two towers, with a moving head on top of each and sweepers that move with the music, and your DJ runs them from the DJ software. The light swells when the music swells and settles when it settles. They suit a younger crowd used to clubs and festivals; for an older, relaxed crowd, uplighting on its own does the job.
How much does wedding uplighting cost with Elevate Entertainment?
Your lighting’s own number comes from your quote, sized to your room: build it with your DJ and MC online, or talk it through in your Entertainment Design Session. How much does wedding lighting cost? walks through what moves the price, and How pricing works shows what a full night runs.
