If you’ve been considering event lighting hire, stop right there! Red Woodpecker Events is here to tell you when and why festoon lights are perfect for your event!
Take a look below to see 4 scenarios where festoon lighting will make your event stand out!
Ambient table lighting
Festoon lighting is perfect for elegant table lighting at any occasion. Perhaps you are hosting a beautiful sit-down dinner for a big birthday party, and require some tasteful lighting to illuminate your evening.
Festoon lights also make the perfect addition to the special evening meal on your big day. Set the mood with beautifully suspended lights above your tables. Or maybe you’d like to be the ones in the spotlight, in which case you could drape our stunning lights above the head table to illuminate the happy couple.
Light the way
Make sure the pathway to your venue is clear for all to see with our festoon lights. There’s nothing worse than your guests arriving late and confused after they’ve lost their way. Festoon lights are the perfect solution to this problem, especially for bigger venues that require a bit of navigation.
Without a well-lit pathway, you also run the risk of injury. You know how it can be after a party, it’s easy to twist an ankle on an uneven walkway or stray from the path entirely (and that’s without taking the clumsier guests into consideration).
Festoon lighting is also uniquely beneficial for marquees. Indoor festoon lights allow you and your guests to party into the night. And our outdoor festoon lights lets you rest easy, knowing that you have a clear, stunning (and safe) exit and entrance – because let’s face it, everyone has tripped over a tent wire at least once in their life.
And lighting a path doesn’t always have to be for practical purposes, there’s nothing quite as stunning or exciting as a beautifully lit pathway to an elegant venue that grows closer with every step. A candlelit pathway lends a certain sophistication to the venue. But candles extinguish easily, especially if they are exposed (as they would be on a venue pathway) and they are not very bright when lighting the way. Festoon lights are bright, consistent and just as graceful as candlelight, making them the most impressive and beautiful choice of event lighting.
Photoshoots
A photoshoot is often reserved for important life events, but regardless of the occasion (or lack thereof) here’s how festoon lights could add that extra something to your photoshoot.
A great, unique use of festoon lighting is for candid family photoshoots. Just because the approach is candid doesn’t mean you can’t dress your background. Festoon lights adds an element of charm to a genuine photo shoot that captures the essence of life and love in your family.
And speaking of love, what could make your engagement photoshoot more romantic than graceful, ambient lighting? Indoors or outdoors, festoon lights provide your photographer with endless opportunities to capture your joyous moments in front of a stunning backdrop.
Public event lighting
Outdoor cinemas have never been more popular. Not only are they a great way to fundraise but they’re also an incredibly fun community event. Outdoor cinemas often require very little equipment (depending on the size and extravagance of the event), but there are at least 3 things you will need at any outdoor cinema. The projector, seating, and lighting. We may not have a projector, but we do have luxury seating and lighting available for hire. Perhaps you’d like to create ambient lighting for guests as they enjoy the film, or maybe you just need an elegant walkway to direct guests to the toilets and car park. Whatever your plans, festoon lights are a practical and graceful addition to your event.
There are so many components to a festival, and festoon lighting is one of the easiest and most effective ways to set the tone and create a little ambience. Festoon lights offer unlimited creative freedom – suspend them evenly on poles, drape them in the foliage or use them however you wish. With or without your own decor, our festoon lights are guaranteed to create a beautiful festival setting.
For that matter, our festoon lights make any event hosted in a public space one of a kind. In need of practical, beautiful lighting for your elegant wedding hosted in an open public space? Or maybe you’re planning a surprise public proposal for that special someone and need to add the finishing touches that’ll sweep them off their feet. Create a sense of awe and sophistication with our festoon lights this summer.
