The "Yes" Mentality

In the event industry we are faced with challenges on a daily basis. These challenges can range from mother nature to not defacing the integrity of a historical landmark. When faced with a challenge, we could either tuck our tails and hide or face them head on. At Nashville Event Lighting we live by the motto "If there's a will, there's a way."

One venue that we absolutely love to work in but face challenges on, due to its massive size and limited rigging points, is Country Music Hall of Fame.

When bride June Marable walked into our office to discuss her vision for her December reception at CMHOF, we were more than willing to do our best to execute her ideas. (Insert the "Yes" mentality)

Her Vision: Italian String Lights throughout the conservatory and chinese paper lanterns incorporated, somehow..... How did we do this? 1st the bride gave us complete control over our lighting design plan with the help of her planner Meredith Zeller of Bridal Blueprints. 2nd, we incorporated our trussing to provide support and rigging points. 3rd, we created a centerpiece over the head table by hanging different shapes and sizes of chinese lanterns. We also added a special touch to her custom gobo on the rotunda wall by adding a custom red scroll from a previous event we did. Check out the pictures below from Mary Rosenbaum and let us know what you think.
