    Perfect way to elevate your Wedding Reception

    Socialight was quietly one of the best vendors at our wedding! Following our church ceremony, we held our reception in the Wharf Room of Boston Harbor Hotel. BHH recommended that we use Socialight to give the venue that extra glow, and I am so glad we did! The lighting team knew the space well and executed all of our requests with very little direction from us. It was as if they intuited precisely what lighting each toast, dance and song called for throughout the evening, and their attention to detail is evident in all our pictures.

    Our color scheme was soft purples and blues and they incorporated it beautifully, lighting the dance floor in a pale purple wash. They also had pin spot lighting on our floral arrangements and cake, which highlighted all the beautiful details and elevated the entire space. I appreciated when they adjusted the lighting for the toasts, so that the speakers were in flattering yellow light, rather than the purple glow we had on the dance floor.

    All in all, Socialight was everything that we could have asked for in a lighting vendor - professional, unobtrusive, creative and attentive throughout the evening. Thank you to Paul and his team!

    Hiring Socialight was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Paul and Greg totally captured the vibe we wanted - and they completely transformed our venue. I am incredibly grateful for their attention to detail and professionalism. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

    Socialight did a fantastic job lighting our wedding at the Boston Public Library. They knew the space and were able to recommend options that stayed within our budget, which we really appreciated.

    Paul & his team were fantastic communicators and spent the time we needed (including multiple visits) to make sure we had the best experience. The options with Socialight are endless, and Paul is there every step of the way to walk you through how he'll make your event the most unique. Our dance floor & aisle were illuminated by gorgeous lanterns which totally changed the look of the event space. Book them!

    I knew fairly early on that I wanted to incorporate lighting into the vision I had for my wedding reception. The venue itself was a white tent which had a relatively busy ceiling (with wires/cables/bars), so I knew I wanted to do something to help ease that along with up lighting to help set both a romantic mood and a classy dance vibe once the timing was right. SociaLight made that vision happen. My husband and I met with Paul at his studio (a bit of a hike, but worth going to for a consultation) and decided on stringing ~30, 24inch white and amber lanterns in a symmetrical pattern across the ceiling of the tent. We also had up lighting incorporated throughout to completely wash the walls and ceiling with color. The plan was to also have 2 lighting technicians on-site during the reception to adjust the up lighting with whatever was going on during the wedding (i.e. an amber glow during speeches and father/daughter dance, then blues, purples, pinks, etc. during dancing time)—how cool is that? This was all definitely an expensive consideration, especially one that most people don’t think about for weddings. And truth be told, I can’t tell you how many skeptics I had… “doesn’t the tent already have lighting?”… “why do we need that?” But I stuck with the vision and was so happy that the lighting blew EVERYONE away that night. Thanks, Socialight!!!

    Paul was great from the very beginning. He has a show room set up as part of his office so you can see what your different options would look like. I am glad he had this showroom, because what I was envisioning for our New England Aquarium lighting was totally different from what we end up doing. And let me tell you, we loved the final result (draping with pendant lights and spot lights on the centerpieces). The options are endless and Paul is an amazing....artist. We would Paul and his team to anyone.

    Our wedding was 11/8/14 and Boston Uplights did a fantastic job during both the ceremony and reception. Our favorite planning meetings were with Boston Uplights and the entire staff made it so much fun to prepare for our wedding.

    The uplighting made every part of the venue pop in photos. The centerpieces looked incredible with the FUEL lights. The pictures taken by people with their own cameras and cell phones looked outstanding because of the lighting. The lighting helped set the mood from a wonderful sunset dinner to a fun night time party. The two technicians that worked the event were incredibly helpful and did a fantastic job.

    We would highly recommend Boston Uplights to family and friends looking to give their wedding that extra touch which will last a lifetime in photographs!

    Boston Uplights was great to work with and very professional. We met with Paul and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Corey was the person who set up the lights on the day of the wedding and did an awesome job. The lighting really transformed the whole atmosphere of my venue into exactly what I envisioned it to be!

    I had seen my venue lit up with the lanterns from Boston Uplights before. When I went to them I thought the quote was sort of high, but since I knew what I wanted, we went for it. It was SO WORTH IT! The tent looked amazing. Everyone complimented us on how romantic the setting was.
    They were also so easy to work with. I told them what I wanted, paid the deposits and then 9 months later they were there, set up, and two techs stayed the entire reception to make sure the lighting matched the mood. I never saw the techs, or noticed lights going up or down, but in a good way! Everything was seamless.

    SociaLight Event Lighting's reply:

    Thank you so much! It was a pleasure working with you too, and we're so glad that you enjoyed the lanterns. Congratulations to you both from all of us here at Boston Uplights!

    Boston Uplights was great to work with. They have the best pin lights in the business -- if you're going to pay for floral centerpieces, you should highlight each one with perfectly placed lighting to get the best bang for your buck! I wanted the dance floor to have some pop as well, and they arranged white and blue lanterns at varying heights over it. It looked absolutely magical, and made for amazing photos. Also, one of their staff members stays at the reception for the entire evening to make sure that the mood lighting is always perfect! The sun set during dinner, and they were there to make sure the lighting was appropriate the whole time (mood lighting is everything!).

    Our reception in the tent of Willowdale Estate would have been nothing without the incredible work of Boston Uplights. The tent looked beautiful and made for some amazing pictures. We also had our table numbers light up and when the party got started the lights changed with the beat of the music. I have guests from the ages of 10 to 90 calling to tell me how amazing the light work was. The tech remained unseen the whole night but also had an eye on making our big day even more bright!

    We decide to add lighting last minute and I'm glad we did. They provided romantic hanging votives that were strung above our farm-style tables suspended in air. The effect was super lovely. The also provided uplights and texture colored lights for the dance floor. I had created a DIY tissue flower back drop behind the dance floor - and once Boston Uplights uplit these from below with colored lights the effect was stunning!! Excellent value, the people they sent to stay on site to monitor things were very professional. Great service all around - and the showroom is fun to visit! These guys can do anything!

    We were on a budget and didn't think we could afford to hire a lighting company. But we were getting married in a tent with really high ceilings and felt compelled to look into hiring Boston Uplights because they have a unique system of hanging lanterns at our venue (the Aquarium!). Well, we had no idea of what we would be tempted by when we walked in the doors for our meeting with Paul. Their concepts and unique designs are spectacular! We ended up with lanterns, "down-lighting" (which was incredible!! All these little lights on the ceiling that shined down and changed colors all night!), and spot lights on our 5-foot tall arrangements. The result - PERFECTION. Exactly the atmosphere we were dreaming of!!! If you are considering them, don't question it, just do it. You won't regret it. This is the vendor that we almost didn't hire and one that we now realize we could not have done without! They will provide those final touches that go a LONG way towards creating the wedding of your dreams! Thanks Paul and Boston Uplights!!

    The lanterns we got from Boston Uplights were absolutely perfect. They met with us before the wedding to help us choose colors and styles. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up beautifully and exactly how we had chosen and it looked better than we had even hoped!

    I recently had my wedding on Sunday, May 27, 2012 at the Ipswich Country Club. I can't tell you how happy I am that I hired Boston Uplights. I didn't think much of lighting as something that was necessary for our wedding but my photographer (Michael J. Charles) showed me some photography with and without uplighting and I was blown away. It really adds a certain something to any room and especially to a wedding. I was so happy with a cool vibe it gave to the room especially when everyone started dancing. Thank you so much Boston Uplights! I totally recommend to any couples considering it for your upcoming wedding.

    My new husband and I were married on 5/19/12 and had our reception at Groveland Fairways. It was our absolute dream wedding and we want to specifically mention Boston Uplights for creating the romantic & magical atmosphere. When we started looking at venues my fiancé and I had never heard of or even seen uplighting. We completely fell in love with our venue Groveland Fairways, and one of the elements that caught our eye about this venue was the beautiful uplighting they had in the photos on their website. The pinks, purples, and blue colors were just awesome, and the lighting sets the mood at the venue. So we contacted Boston Uplights and asked them to do the uplighting for us as they had done in the photos at Groveland Fairways website. During our meeting with Boston Uplights, we also learned about the many other lighting options they offer; downlighting, table lighting, centerpieces, hanging lights, and much more. We were totally impressed! This state-of-the-art lighting technology that they use is just so cool to see, and they provide a technician for the wedding who controls the lighting the entire night. We received the photos from our photographer and the uplighting in the photos is so beautiful! People are just bathed in color and it looks magical! We loved it!

    I am an events/ wedding planner, I recently just organized my husbands Company's end of the year Gala. Everyone at Get In shape for Woman was so impressed with just how beautiful the room looked......what a difference from last year everyone said......you don't realize just what lighting can do for a room until you have it. From the lighting over the centerpieces, the podium, and the advertising displays......You did an amazing job! We will definitely recommend you & continue to use you every year! Thank you for a job well done...... melissa @ Tie the Knot wedding planners & Brian from Get In Shape for Woman

    We were absolutely thrilled with the lighting at my daughter's wedding. From our first appointment we loved Brett, who had such great ideas and carried them through to perfection. The lighting turned our reception venue from a beautiful, but somewhat old fashioned, place into the modern, amazing site that showed the couple's personality and kept the dancing going an hour later than planned. Using Boston Uplights was probably our single best decision about the whole wedding - other than my daughter's choice of the best husband ever!

    Attn: Paul

    RE: Beliveau wedding – 4/16/2011
    Atkinson Country Club

    Dear Paul.

    I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the spectacular job at my daughters wedding. When we met with you we were impressed but really had no idea of what to expect. All we new was we were looking for a finishing touch. When we walked into the hall it certainly had the WOW factor. It was like something you would see in a magazine, much more than Leslie and I could have ever expected. To this date more people have remarked about the event from the display, the changing colors and most of all the mood setting it made throughout the night.

    We have been to a couple of weddings since our daughters. There are a lot of imitators out there but nothing compares to Boston Uplights. The last wedding we went to it was like a strob light event. No thought went into the event, lights did not change, even to the point of display and setup. Seeing is believing! It was the BEST money we spend. This was a last minute option and with only weeks notice you put the whole event together with ease. I would strongly recommend your company and if I hold another event for a special occasion your going to be the first person I call.

    Your company is spectacular and deserves to be recognized. Words really cannot express how much we appreciate for going the extra mile and making our event something we will remember for a lifetime.


    Thanks Again,
    Mark M Beliveau

    We were so pleased & glad that we choose Boston Uplights for our wedding! We heard about them from a family member who got married & we knew that after seeing their work it was something we wanted to add to our wedding! We conversed with & met with Paul at his office, & he gave us a thorough sampling of what he had to offer, it was evident that he loved what he does & was so enthusiastic about it! Paul worked with us on some ideas/color/design schemes, and was respectful of our budget, & he & his tech. created such an amazingly beautiful ambiance for our wedding celebration! We had amazing uplighting, lanterns & LED candles on mantel & in the windows! The attention to detail & our vision was phenomenal! We are happy to recommend them for any special event! -Jessica & Peter Leuci, Malden, MA

    Boston Uplights did an outstanding job for our wedding. We could not have been more happy with their work. From the beginning, they worked with us to create something unique and spectacular within our budget, and had lots of ideas but also listened to and interpreted our vision. We had uplighting, LED candles and lanterns, all of which looked really wonderful, and gave the room such a special feel during
    both the ceremony and reception. The lanterns really gave the room a fun, chic feel and their system is flawless. We recommend Boston Uplights to anyone considering lighting for their wedding or other event.
