So helpful!

Everything turned out perfect, and we couldn’t say enough good things! The communication throughout the whole process was incredible, and it turned out better than we could have hoped! We have been recommending them to everyone we know, and hope to have a reason to book them again in the future!

Let Them Light Your Way!

Blue Steel Lighting truly exceeded all expectations with their exceptional lighting design for our couple's wedding day at the Cavalier Hotel. Their expertise and attention to detail transformed the venue into a magical and enchanting space, creating a truly unforgettable atmosphere.

From the moment guests stepped into the reception area, it was evident that Blue Steel Lighting had crafted a masterpiece. The lighting design perfectly accentuated the venue's natural beauty and highlighted the couple's chosen decor elements. The use of color, texture, and strategic placement of light created a captivating ambiance that set the mood for the entire evening.

The team at Blue Steel Lighting had a remarkable ability to understand and execute the couple's vision flawlessly. They worked closely with them and our team to ensure that every aspect of the lighting design aligned with our desired aesthetic, which resulted in a cohesive and stunning visual experience.

Blue Steel Lighting's attention to detail was exceptional. They meticulously lit every area of the venue, from the ceremony space to the reception hall, creating different atmospheres and focal points for each part of the celebration.

Overall, their work was nothing short of phenomenal. If you are looking for a professional lighting design team that can transform your venue into a captivating wonderland, I highly recommend Blue Steel Lighting! Their talent, professionalism, and dedication to creating a truly remarkable ambiance make them a top choice for any wedding or special event.

Beautiful Work

Blue Steel was amazing to work with and set the mood for our entire celebration! Despite multiple postponements due to COVID, they were so cheerful and helpful with every aspect of planning. We used them for lighting, draping, and even had a few custom pieces designed (bars, stage décor, and more). It elevated the look of our reception beyond our wildest dreams and we are so grateful!

Unexpected Surprise!

I had no idea just how important lighting would be for our daughter's romantic backyard wedding, The team at Blue Steel turned our yard into the most magical space. All of our guests said we should keep all the lighting they did! They were just fantastic!

Great experience with Blue Steel

My wife and I had a great experience with Blue Steel at the VMFA. Michelle and Kaci were extremely professional and easy to work with, and the lighting looked absolutely gorgeous at the museum and created the perfect ambiance for our wedding. We cannot recommend Blue Steel highly enough!

Blue Steel is A+ lightning and service!

I highly recommend the Blue Steel group for any lighting needs! The service, professionalism, and attention to detail is paramount. When I found out that Michelle was a prior wedding planner it all made sense. Michelle is a calming presence and you can’t help but immediately fall for her positive attitude and loving nature.

I didn’t originally plan to have lighting but once I saw what they had previously done I knew it would be the icing on the cake. I was unsure of the exact thing I wanted but I knew the effect I wanted. Michelle and Kaci came out and viewed the venue site with me. The communication from the start was responsive and consistent. Blue Steel gave me a variety of lighting options and was willing to listen to my wants versus my budget versus their costs. Ultimately we settled on an outside twinkle canopy.

Wedding day came and rain was in the forecast. The day before Michelle called me to talk our options out. I still wanted twinkle lighting and while the original idea wasn’t going to work, they wanted to make it work for me somehow. Master mind Jeremy was able to still do the twinkle canopy...he just lowered it a little so it could be seen inside. The effect was fantastic. Guests commented on the lights and sparkle effect all night. The lights ended up right behind our sweetheart table and can be seen in pictures.

I highly recommend Blue Steel and will be using them again for any lighting needs in the future. Thank y’all for being an awesome vendor!!

The Blue Steel team is incredible!!!!!! Blue Steel Lighting seriously knows how to transform a space - I was hesitant by the extra expense, but it is so incredibly worth it. Blue Steel did an excellent job creating a soft, romantic ambiance for the ceremony and dinner, and then proceeded to transform the venue again when our epic dance party broke out. We also had Blue Steel set up bistro lighting at our indoor venue - and guests remarked on how they felt like they were outside! Finally, I had a very specific vision for a bar that was going to be a focal point for our wedding - and Blue Steel listened to my ideas (patiently!), helped me brainstorm the perfect plan (even drew a little mock up so I could visualize everything!) and then executed my vision flawlessly! I couldn't be more pleased with Blue Steel and would recommend them to any bride that wants the perfect mood lighting (and/or specialty lighting!). This team is unreal.

Blue Steel did the most phenomenal job transforming our Wedding space into an absolute fairy tale! I absolutely loved working them and throughout the planning process they were extremely responsive to all my questions. I want to give special props to Michelle for really putting together my exact vision, Kaci for her top notch communication with me, and Patrick for running all the details the day of and making everything perfect! I highly recommend using their services!

Michelle, Jeremy and the Blue Steel team are AMAZING!! When I decided to get married in Williamsburg where I grew up, I started online searches for weddings to get a sense for the vendors. Blue Steel came up in every single one of the weddings I looked at and in particular for the weddings I liked! So I immediately contacted them even before I had my planner as I wanted to get on their books - thank goodness I did! I got married in a ballroom as a practical matter (more convenient for elderly guests) but really wanted the ballroom transformed as I wasn't a big fan of the carpet and walls. Blue Steel literally made it into a completely different room with their lighting and design. It was incredible!! Also I had a garden theme I wanted brought to life and Blue Steel not only did lighting but helps engineer the overall design including a whole dance floor structure, bringing in all sorts of trees and shrubbery and hanging lanterns from the ceiling to create an intimate atmosphere that was also grand and elegant. It was amazing and made the reception absolutely perfect. Thank you, Blue Steel!!
