## Summary
DJ Wale provides uplighting, moving heads, dance floor lighting and GOBO monograms for weddings and events across central Ohio. We match uplighting to your colors and decor, then switch to dynamic dance lighting when the party starts.

## Overview
Lighting changes how a room feels and how your photos look. A plain hotel ballroom becomes a warm, colored space with uplighting along the walls, and the dance floor comes alive with moving heads.

We program the lighting to the night: soft and warm for dinner and speeches, focused for the first dance, and full movement and color for the party.

## What's included
- **Uplighting:** Wireless uplights in your colors along walls and columns.
- **Moving heads:** Dance floor lighting with movement and color.
- **GOBO monogram:** Your names or logo projected on a wall or floor.
- **Spotlighting:** For the first dance and speeches.
- **Program changes:** Lighting that changes with each part of the night.

## How lighting follows the night
1. **Warm** (Dinner): Soft uplighting in your colors.
2. **Focus** (First dance): Spotlight and low fog.
3. **Movement** (Party): Moving heads and color.

## Lighting that photographs well
Photographers love uplighting because it adds color and depth to plain walls without washing out faces. We place fixtures to complement your decor and stage, and adjust brightness so dinner feels warm and photos look rich.

## Designed with your decorator
If your decorator also brings lighting, we coordinate so the stage, tables and dance floor work together instead of competing.

## Music
Lighting is synchronized with the DJ's energy so it rises and falls with the music.

## Planning tips
- Share your decor colors and photos of your venue.
- Ask your decorator whether they also provide lighting to avoid overlap.
