Best Lighting and Draping Ever

We worked with SociaLight for our tented wedding, and they completely exceeded our expectations. They handled all of the lighting, including a bespoke draping design and several stunning hanging disco balls. From the very beginning, they understood our vision and brought it to life seamlessly. The lighting and draping truly became the star of the show—transforming the tent into a beautiful, magical space that felt uniquely ours. We absolutely loved working with Social Light and highly recommend them for any wedding or special event!

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!

True Professionals

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 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.

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!!!

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!

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!).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Boston Uplights does a phenomenal job of matching their clients visions with their own style to uplighting rooms. It's always a pleasure whenever we have a chance to work with them, as when we are performing, their on-site technicians do a fabulous job of mixing the room uplighting, to our intelligent stage lighting. Boston Uplighting is, hands down, an A+ vendor!
