Up Lighting & Color

Are you having a hard time choosing what color up lighting you want to use for your reception? The trend that most brides go with is amber or a soft pink. These colors are always my go to colors. They look great in photos and on skin tones. They also blend well with just about any color scheme.

When Toni O'Reggio came into our office with her planner Latrice Cushenberry from Opulent Couturier, she knew she wanted color, but which color exactly, had yet to be determined. Her colors were Carnation Pink and Tiffany Blue. Both great options. My suggestion to her was to use LED's. The guests arrived to the Sheraton Music City to a reception painted in Tiffany Blue. As the night went on, we changed the entire room to a vibrant pink. Toni and Ugo's reception is a perfect example of how LED's can help solve the dilemma of "What color do I go with?"

Giving Thanks

Here at NEL we can't believe Thanksgiving is Thursday! This means that we made it through another crazy wedding season. For most wedding and event vendors here in Nashville, September and October have become months of pure mayheim. On August 31st, we kiss our family and friends goodbye, buckle up, and hold on for nine weeks solid. Now that we are able to catch a breath and look back at what we experienced, we'd like to say "Thanks from the bottom of our hearts" to all of our fellow vendors, planners, venues, and crew.

To our planners, you are the glue that keeps us all together. You make all of our lives easier. To our fellow vendors, thank you for the camaraderie you all provide on site and referring us to your clients. To our venues, thank you for trusting us with your clients, the early morning load ins, and late night pick ups. To our crew, you're the best in town! We all appreciate your attention to detail, your positive attitude, and work ethic. We could not have made it without you. Now, if we could only figure out a way to clone you....

Here are just a few of the things we are thankful for. I hope you enjoy these candid shots of our crew in action!

We worked hard for 5 days straight for Nashville Fashion Week to create runway shows at different venues each night. So grateful to be a part of its first year ever.

Clint's Guns!

Destination Nashville for allowing us to turn not only ourselves but the Opry Plaza blue for Deltek.

Sunday - Funday! This is what happens when you try to make the crew get up at 8am to go to the lake after a night full of events.

Blake and I were thankful for casters on road cases. We thought we would try a new marketing campaign and stroll through downtown Nashville from War Memorial to the Convention Center. Why not?

We're thankful for Sarah Ashley who recently joined our team as a full time employee.

Booties on white carpet.

Misty, who not only keeps our office together but isn't afraid to pitch in on site.

We can't forget about Daniel Brimer. Daniel has joined NEL this year as our General Manager.

Ruby

Have you heard about The Ruby? Well, its the newest venue in Nashville and we are so excited to start doing events there. Nashville based entrepreneur, Dan Cook, brought us in when construction first started on turning what used to be known as the Blakemore Primitive Baptist Church into a "gem" of a venue. Its conveniently located right across from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital and just a couple of blocks from the oh-so trendy Hillsboro Village. It's a blank canvas that allows for so many opportunities. Check out some of the construction pictures we took early on.

On November 3rd, the doors opened for The Ruby's big reveal. Here are a few photos that were shared with us by Photographer Donald Yeager from the event.

Flat Screen Rentals

We have great Flat Screens for Rent.

Prices start at $150...

(Note: Delivery Fees may apply when not ordered with a Lighting Package)

Tis the Season

It's that time of year again. Wedding season is wrapping up and the holiday season is unfolding. With that comes corporate holiday parties, winter wonderland themed events, and New Year's celebrations. What better way to add to your decor than lighting. Here are a few ideas to put you in the spirit.

The Hutton Hotel decided to add a personal message to their Holiday Decor last year by creating a custom gobo.

Main Event Productions threw a spectacular Christmas in July party at 1418. We used color changing LED's and snowflake gobos to add some flair.

This couple decided to have a winter wonderland themed wedding.

Last but not least, count down the new year with color changing LED's.

Give us a jingle at 615-414-6724, to discuss how lighting can help trim your holiday parties!
