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!

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!

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.

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!!

Michelle & Caitlyn are WONDERFUL!! Both of them are so sweet and very professional at what we do. We got married at the Chrysler Museum & seriously, you can't have the perfect wedding there without uplighting! It really helped create and transform the venue especially with the columns. Everyone loved the gabo on the wall - we heard so many great things about it!! Highly, highly recommend blue steel! They're amazing!

They were a little more expensive than a few other vendors, but they are so worth it! Technician on site all night, you worry about nothing! Gorgeous!

We booked Blue Steel to provide lighting for our wedding in the 4x4 area of the Outer Banks - and it was one of the best decisions that we made!! John and Simone were wonderful to work with - we got married at an event home, and they even went out of their way to meet us at the event home prior to the wedding date to make plans. And the lighting that they provided definitely made our wedding reception an event that our wedding guests will always remember - the teal backlighting on the house was incredible! We highly recommend using Blue Steel - they were great!

We booked Blue Steel Lighting Design for our wedding and it was one of the BEST decisions that we made!! I cannot say thank you enough to Michelle, Jeremy, Caitlyn, and the rest of the team for their kindness, support, hard work, and dedication! Starting with the first appointment, the customer service was off the charts I knew that Blue Steel would make our reception venue look gorgeous and fit the vibe that we were going for and sure enough, they did!! The draping, lighting, trees, and all of the other little touches that Blue Steel did really made our reception come together and transformed the space. We feel blessed to have had such a dedicated and brilliant team with us on our wedding day. Thank you to the entire Blue Steel team!!

Blue Steel did an AMAZING job with the lighting and tent decor at our wedding reception. They did 3+ site visits to ensure that we had the right type of lighting for the evening (tented outdoors at the house I grew up in) and were AMAZING when we needed to shift our layout to our rain plan. I HIGHLY recommend.

If you don't think lighting changes the atmosphere of a reception - you are mistaken! I have been working with Caitlyn from Blue Steel Lighting and from our very first meeting she was able to articulate how important lighting was. Blue Steel Lighting did such a wonderful job turning our reception space into a nice ambience for dinner and PARTY for dancing! I would definitely recommend Blue Steel Lighting to anyone having an event!

We were looking for up lighting to give our wedding venue a bit of a pop. We met with Caitlyn she was amazing! She got to know us a couple and really took an interest with us. After our initial meeting she kept in great contact with me! Their price and packages were the best for our wedding. On the wedding day when my husband and I got to the reception it was so beautiful. Blue Steel Lighting really helped my wedding everything I wanted it to be. I would recommend them to anyone wanting that extra pop for their wedding!

John from Blue Steel Lighting was excellent to work with. His attention to detail and quality of service was more than we could ask for. John took the time to listen to us and provided us with the most beautiful setting. The impact of the lighting transformed the entire venue and set the mood for the entire evening as well. This is a definite must have!

As a bride, it is so important to have the right lighting and it something that should be heavily considered when planning out your budget. Lighting makes ALL the difference in the world for not only your pictures (that will otherwise look plain) but most importantly to the energy or the entire event! Blue Steel did an amazing job and let me tell you that between their lighting and the DJs skills, the dance floor was occupied all night long. Also our pictures look amazing! Little details pop out because of how they were lit. Thank you Michelle and Jeremy! You both rock!

If you're searching unique, original, creative and custom designed event, these are your guys. From the initial beginning, we really threw some ideas at Jeremy and Caitlyn and they literally took "Cinderella gets lost in the woods" and made it a Magical Woodland Fairytale. One huge thing was the custom pieces they created. When it came to drapery in the Reception Tent, I looked at all photos for inspiration and couldn't fall in love with any of it. Jeremy stepped in, he said "I think I may have an idea" and he came back with a few concept drawings. From those, he got more and more inspired and what came out was the most beautiful thing you've NEVER seen. He created custom wood pieces hanging from the ceiling, with chandeliers hanging from them. Another thing was to hide the tent poles on the ceiling. Thinking he'd do some drapery, his solution was something completely unexpected, but incredibly awesome. It was long pillars of wood with scrolls on the end, i mean pretty much indescribable. Jeremy was so excited to show them, but worried they'd be over the top, however knowing I wanted something unique he took a chance, and boy did it pay off big time. They made a wall of foliage and drapery to hide the trailer port-a-johns, beautiful vintage lamps hanging from the side of the tents, custom stage sidings, custom bars with a tv slideshow and so much more. They also were able to convert everything from outdoor locations to a rain plan tent with only a day to figure it out, and made it beautiful at that! Even at night, the whole place shifted in lighting to an amazing Gala type party with luxurious blues, a Edison bulb lit fire-pit area, and a up-lit lined driveway.
Ultimately when you hire these guys, let them do their job. Let them come up with something amazing for you that will stand out from anyone else's wedding, and you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Blue Steel for making our Wedding Amazing, it honestly wouldn't have been the same without you!!
Amelia & David

Blue Steel did a great job at my August wedding! They were very responsive during the planning process and executed our lighting needs perfectly. I especially loved the bistro lighting that they strung outside and over the dance floor! They also did a great job recreating our monogram on the dance floor. Don't hesitate to book them!

Blue steel was able to transform the ballroom into my dream, soft, romantic wedding. I wanted soft pink uplighting, monogram on the floor, pin spots, and they did it all more beautifully than I ever imagined.

Not a single thing went wrong. They had a crew stay there all night to make sure everything was perfect and it was.
The lighting made the look and feel of my wedding.

I was so happy with how it all turned out!

Blue Steel Lighting has been a great company to work with. When there was a hiccup in communication, the owner Jeremy went out of his way to fix the situation and accommodate all of our remaining needs. We were able to spend time in his studio explain our vision and picking out the perfect colors for the special events during our day. The gobo, pin lights and up-lighting turned out great. The lights dancing around added an amazing element to our reception!

They know lighting! We were very happy with the services they provided for our wedding. Michelle was a huge help!! We had a evening wedding outside in a garden and they knew exactly where to place their lights to accent the natural beauty of the place - which is exactly what we wanted! We've also been to friends indoor weddings and we've always been impressed with how Blue Steel can accent and create exactly the atmosphere you are looking for. Thanks Blue Steel!

Blue Steel Lighting was the best addition to our wedding vendor team, and I'm so happy we decided to add lighting for our wedding. Our photographer's recommended using lighting at Jennette's Pier for backlighting and a spotlight, as it really adds a lot to the space, and I am so happy we went with their recommendation. Blue Steel was super easy to work with, and with little direction from us delivered exactly what we were looking for. The whole room was backlit with changing colors, and the spotlighted really added a special element to the evening, and I know it will show in the photos. Thanks Blue Steel for rocking it!

Jeremy, Michelle and the whole team at Blue Steel are worth their weight in gold. When we saw the cafe lights at our venue during an early site visit, we knew we had to have them. What we didn't know is that with Blue Steel, we would have such a strong team on our side. They treated my wedding like it was their own, and proactively took care of so many small details. Their positive attitudes and attention to detail alleviated so much stress during the planning process. The cafe lights set the perfect mood, the spot light on the cake was perfect for our toast, and the luminary path helped many guests to navigate their way to the garden ceremony and reception. These details (all executed perfectly) absolutely made my wedding.

Wow!!—This is what we kept hearing from our family, friends and guests at our reception when they saw the lighting design by Blue Steel. And we couldn’t agree more—they made our event truly magical!

We wanted something romantic and whimsical hanging over the dance floor, and boy did they deliver. They carefully considered the overall look and feel of our event and put together a really creative concept for “floating” candles—something they hadn’t done before but were willing to take on the challenge. The end result was really spectacular and I we are so grateful for their willingness to take on new challenges and their ability to execute so flawlessly. Michelle was a joy to work with and you can see the creative synergy between she and her husband, Jeremy. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride and groom looking to really add that “wow” factor to their big day!

Blue Steel was great to work with --- effortless even from states away. I worked with their team on lighting in my tent and explained to them my vision briefly over the phone and they nailed it-- everything was perfect. I'm a wedding planner out of Baltimore and I wish I lived closer to this company because I'd recommend them all of the time. Thanks again for everything!

We were so impressed with blue steel and how their lighting completely transformed our ballroom into a wonderland. It turned an ordinary ballroom into a fairytale. We had the uplighting, pin lighting, and our initials on the dance floor. I had so many people come up to me and tell me it was the prettiest wedding they had ever been to and I know it is because of blue steel. It provided that wow factor and I loved how the color of the room changed as the mood of the night did. They were very professional, punctual, and responsive. They worked with us to customize the lights for our reception and gave us some great ideas. I love how the lighting added to the pictures as well. Im so glad we decided to spend the extra money on the lighting, well worth it!

Blue Steel is way more than lighting! In addition to lighting, they helped us build a stage facade, hang a framed menu over our dessert table, and built custom wall designs for our wedding. They are very professional, creative, and a really fun group to work with! The lighting and other decor they helped with really helped transform our venue into a spectacular site! We were so happy we booked them as our vendor! Also, they stayed the entire night and helped change lighting throughout the evening and they were so discreet I never saw them! We highly highly highly recommend them!

When I saw Blue Steel Lighting at the first bridal show I went to, I knew they were a vendor I had to have for my wedding. They offer such a unique service that truly transforms your wedding venue space. The owner Jeremy & his wife Michelle are so nice and can really take your ideas and make them a reality. The pin lights really make the centerpieces and cake standout and look even more amazing. The personalized monogram light on the dance floor is such a nice touch. We even had snowflake lights in our lounge area that really made it a winter wonderland. And the uplighting really transforms the space - we had our ceremony and reception at the same place, but it was, literally, day and night with the way things looked! The combination of the lights and a custom designed pipe/draping helped us to make the spaces look completely different. Blue Steel went above and beyond to help us design this space and make it exactly what we were hoping for! Additionally, their on-site person helped our wedding planner hang things from the ceiling which was a huge help! The lighting was beautiful throughout the night and changed appropriately for the different aspects of the wedding (ie. dinner, first dance, cake cutting, dancing). It really made the pictures amazing, too! Blue Steel gives you excellent, friendly service, tons of experience and options, and the biggest bang-for-your-buck you can get in wedding decor. We highly recommend that you book with them!

Easy to work with, highly professional and displayed one of a kind, unique lighting for our winter wedding. Thank you for a seamless experience from start to finish. Highly recommend working with this company to set the atmosphere for your event. It was worth every penny!

They will make your reception go from Blah to Beauty! They arrived on time and never made a decision without talking to me first. My husband and I were so happy with the way the lighting turned out. Although they are a bit pricey, they are a quality vendor that will make it all worth it. All my guests said it was breathtaking.

Blue Steel provided that one service that tied the whole event together: Lighting. I was amazed to see how the mood of any room can be transformed, just by adding the right type of lighting. They were so easy to work with, and helped to create a perfect package specifically for my event. I was also impressed to find out that they keep personnel onsite throughout the night to manage the lighting. Blue Steel provided uplighting for the walls with the option to change colors throughout the night, GOBO for the dance floor, pinspot lights on the sweetheart table and cake, and uplighting within our Chupah - giving it a very ethereal look. I receive so many compliments on the lighting, and definitely believe it was worth the investment.

I love these guys! Lighting really does add that special touch to your wedding décor, and it makes a huge difference in your photos. Blue Steel is the best in the business and the job they did on lighting my wedding venue was amazing. In budgeting for the wedding we decided to cut back on our flower funds so that we could incorporate the lighting, and I’ll never regret the decision to do so. Big shout out to Rachel for being so helpful with turning our vision into a reality through all the planning and great customer service. She even took extra time to help me create a custom logo to light the dance floor with. It’s the special touches like that that make your wedding more than what you’d hoped it would be.

After spending months in contact with Ampa and failing to get anywhere I almost gave up on the vision we had of hanging Edison bulbs over our reception floor. My wedding planner got in contact with Blue Steel only a week before the wedding. They quickly gave us a quote on our vision and took our payment info over the phone. They came in and set up on the wedding day exactly what we wanted and were very professional and responsive to the restrictions of the venue. I wish I had gone to them in the first place. They made everything so easy and seamless.

The team at Blue Steel was wonderful to work with during our planning process and the day of our wedding. We knew our reception venue was beautiful (high ceilings, trees inside, a wall of windows) but when the sun went down need a little extra help in the lighting department so we contacted Blue Steel. They brought us in for a consultation, listened to our thoughts and needs, then they took us into their showroom to present us with SO many ideas! They were able to take our love for disco balls and rock concerts and translate that into a lighting set up that really made our reception space look amazing and feel like us. Blue Steel even figured out a way to light up our New Year's countdown, which made our pictures look extra awesome!

what is a wedding without LIGHTING DESIGN???? Rachel and Jeremy made my every dream come true. It started out with a drawing on a piece of paper, elementaryly done and Jeremy took the vision and ran with it. Rachel is so AWESOME and talked lights, colors and vision with me in a language I could understand and see. The end product was AMAZING. Even when they came to the event location to set up, they were flexible enough to change and make decisions based on the other elements of the cermony and reception. They were well prepared and made adjustments without even asking, knowing that I wanted NOTHING but the BEST. The ambiance that the lighting created set the tone for the ceremony and reception. The best part is I created a bond with Rachel and Jeremy that I will never forget. Just GREAT PEOPLE that keep the mood light at all times, even when I was unsure of exactly what I wanted and me trying to figure out ways to get everything I wanted, in my budget. I love the keepsake hat and bag they gave me also. They are ALLSTARS of LIGHTING in my book. I have the pictures to PROVE it.

Blue Steel was great! The pin spot they provided for the cake really helped it stand out and made for great pictures. We also opted for the personalized gobo on the dance floor which I highly recommend. It was very classy and added a special element to the floor. You can personalize it however you wish (including design and font). The company remained professional throughout the whole planning process as well as the day of. I highly recommend them.

All I can say is THANK YOU! Rachel and the guys were amazing. They took our already seemingly beautiful venue and transformed it into the most increadible reception space i've ever seen. Their work set the tone and enhanced every aspect of our reception...especially our photos. This is one of those areas that you should absolutely not skimp on. Photographer, Videographer and Lighting!! I am so impressed with their work and I would reccomend every bride to meet with them. They are so professional and listen to what you want. They knew what I was going for and then I gave them complete creative control as they are experts in their craft. I can't wait to share our pictures with them. Thank you thank you so much for enhancing our special day and making it truly memorable!

Blue Steel was another vendor that my and my husband knew we wanted. We had a budget and they were able to work with us. We counted on their professionalism and experience.

We didn't do too much for decorations at the hotel where we held our reception. We relied more on the fabulous lighting. We knew that we could set the mood that way.

We had no doubts or worries about Blue Steel and we knew that having them do our lighting would be a way to make our wedding a little more unique with our names on the dance floor and the special lighting during the special moments throughout the night. We got so many compliments from our guests that the lighting was amazing.

Thanks Blue Steel!!!

I debated on hiring a lighting company, as my family thought it was unnecessary. I am so glad I didn't listen to them and chose to use Blue Steel! They set the mood for the evening, with lighting to match my wedding colors and accentuate my table centerpieces. It made my venue look absolutely stunning! I attended several weddings in the months before my own which did not use wedding lighting, and I kept thinking how much better the reception would have looked if Blue Steel had been there! The difference it makes in the look and feel of the evening is definitely worth the price!

The folks at Blue Steel did a tremendous job with the lighting for our wedding reception. The reception was held at the Westin in Virginia Beach and Blue Steel supplied uplighting around the ballroom as well as a spotlight and monogram design on the dance floor and pin spotting on our sweetheart and cake tables. The lighting switched between teal and coral (our wedding colors) throughout the reception, and when the party really got going on the dance floor, the uplighting switched to a multi-colored party theme. Rachel was extremely easy to work with and took me in their studio where she gave me a sample of their lighting techniques on my initial consult. Great, reliable, company that really made the atmosphere of our wedding a really grand affair.

Blown away! Worth every penny! Lighting is probably the best investment you can make for your wedding. It'll transform every photo (professional and amateur), highlight every important detail with pinspots, and brings attention to the dance floor for your first dance and father-daughter dance. Our gobo was AWESOME! We sent Rachel a photo and asked if she could recreate it - and she nailed it! Incredible job! Thank you again!

BLUE STEEL is the REAL DEAL when it comes to lighting and making your event very unique. Lighting is not cheap, but if you are trying to throw a special event be it office or personal and you want that added touch, this is definitely the way to go. Jeremy, the owner, is so knowledgabe and very personable and there is not probably any situation that he hasn't been in that he will know how to work the magic for your event within your budget. I'm not kidding. For my daughter's wedding, he went that extra mile just to create a certain effect that otherwise would have missed out and we would not have had the effect he ultimately achieved. They are a joy to work with and are VERY GOOD!!!

From day 1 when I met with Blue Steel, they were so nice, so creative, and so easy to work with. I clearly had no experience with lighting, no idea where to start, and this crew just took what little I did have input on, and ran with it. They came all the way to Snowshoe, WV for me. They completely changed the look of the room. It looked 10 times better then what we started with, and I cannot explain how thankful I am. I totally recommend this company over and over again. They did a spectacular job, and were worth every penny!

When we showed up at the reception, there were lights everywhere that looked awesome, but the best part....you couldn't see ANY cords!!!! Perfect clean look!!!

I would recommend them 100x over!! If you are looking for lighting and you don't go with Blue Steel, you are well... you know.....They are TOTALLY worth every penny!!

Blue Steel Lighting Design is a must to have at any venue you chose to be married. My daughter got married on August 26, 2011 at the Chrysler Museum of Art, and BSLD turned a beautiful room into the most elegant, breathtaking room that you can imagine. What a WOW factor they created with their talent. It is something you would have to see to believe that the difference lights can have on a room. AMAZING! Jasmine Whitbeck Virginia Beach

AMAZING! I can't say enough about these guys and their services! I really did not think that lighting would change my venue as much as it did but my photographer and wedding planner encouraged us to pursue this and highly recommended Blue Steel. We were wowed by them when we went to meet with them but my husband and I were both floored when we walked into our venue and saw how they had transformed it. Beautiful and unbelievable!! I would highly recommend Blue Steel and their services to anyone! It truly makes a huge difference not only in your photos but also in the ambiance of your space!

Let me tell you; lighting makes a world of difference. I recommend at least talking with the staff at Blue Steel to see what they can offer; you'll be amazed at what they can do and glad you did afterwards. The staff is beyond nice and very professional.

Blue Steel took our venue, Chrysler Museum of Art, to two different ends of the "emotional spectrum". Lighting for our ceremony was warm and inviting; then to a fun, party mood for our reception. Lighting really did help to create the atmosphere and mood my wife wanted for her big day. I'm not one to offer accolades if it's not warranted...for our night, Blue Steel did magnificently!

Blue Steel provided amazing lighting during our wedding reception at The Westin on May 28, 2011. The ballroom was transformed into a sexy, elegant and classy atmosphere, and showed our personalities throughout the night. From the moment the wedding party was introduced, to the first dance, dinner, etc., each aspect of the wedding was perfectly featured. The logo displayed on the dance floor and the different shades of pink on the walls matched our theme. The blue lighting that was used during the mother/son dance was touching. The pinspots on the guests’ tables made a difference and everyone noticed. The lighting allowed our centerpieces, cake table and sweetheart table glow. My mom will not stop talking about the lights, as she has never seen a reception like ours. We, along with all our guests, loved the lighting. THANK YOU!

Blue Steel Lighting is THE premier lighting design company! They are very professional and subject matter experts in lighting. Every detail is considered and no request is too small. For my daughter's wedding reception, Blue Steel took a beautiful ballroom with great architectural features and made it POP! The uplighting on the walls accented the features of the room, the spot lights on the table floral arrangements brought out their elegance and beauty, the light color changes coordinated with the music and enhanced the ambience. I can't say enought wonderful things about this company. They did it all and the end product was absolutely AWESOME. Thank you so much Blue Steel for making my daughter's wedding reception a huge success. People are still talking about the lighting!!!!

Thank you for the wonderful job you all did on Tara and Jimmy's wedding! I had no idea what a difference professional lighting could make but when I walked into the Pocahotas Room at the Cavalier it became immediately apparent that we made the right decision in hiring you. The uplighting really helped to set the mood throughout the entire evening, from "it's time to eat and chat" to "it's time to party!". The effect became even more apparent when we got the wedding photos back. Wow! The colors were so beautiful. I wasn't anticipating the part you would play in helping my other vendors shine, either, but everything became better with your lighting! Palette of Petals did such beautiful arrangements, but with the pin spots you could really see every detail from the color shading to the sparkling jewels tucked into the flowers. The wedding cake became a real focal point in the room thanks to the way you highlighted it. Without your help, these elements of the wedding would have had much less impact. Thank you, also, for your professionalism. You were all so easy to work with and willing to explain each step of the process. You really helped to make the wedding be exactly what we were looking for!

Speciality Lighting was not part of our initial budget. We didn't think it was important and were not sure what the lighting would add. We met with Rachel who was so kind and showed us everything Blue Steel had to offer. We loved everything and decided to have the speciality lighting. I'm so happy we did too because at our venue the only option for lighting is all flourscent lights on or off. Not the feel we were going for. There were lights on each table arrangement and on the cake too. The lights added such a romantic feel to the reception and showcased each flower arrangement and the beautiful cake. We are so happy to have Blue Steel as part of our day. Thank y'all so much for making everything perfect!

Blue Steel Lighting Design did all of the lighting for our wedding. They had pin spots on every table, a Gobo with our names on the dance floor, a gorgeous gobo of decorative design on the walls and the uplighting around the entire room. They did an amazing job. My husband and I had one sit down meeting with the company, and they knew exactly what we wanted. It was completely stress free and I did not worry if they would do a great job. Walking into our ballroom was a moment we will never forget. Thank you Blue Steel!!

Blue Steel Lighting provided exceptional lighting for my daughter's wedding ceremony/reception! They were professional from start to finish - prompt, willing, understanding, knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly. I will use them again, and I urge you to contact them for services for your special event.

Jeremy and his staff at Blue Steel Lighting Design first and foremost were so attentive. They showed us their showroom and the different lighting techniques and colors. Jeremy's lighting will make any room POP! The lighting brings the whole room decor together. If you have not thought of lighting, please do. Ambience is everything at your reception or even at an intimate Anniversary Party. I learned a new word"GOBO" which is a disc that is made to reflect your name, initials, or design on the wall or dance floor. My guests just couldn't stop talking about that. Blue Steel made my event so special. Thanks Jeremy and a special Thanks to Rachel.You are the BEST IN THE BEACH!

I cannot say enough about Blue Steel Lighting/Stage Right Lighting. Everyone went above and beyond all of my expectations. The event looked beautiful and the lighting really set the mood. Jeremy and Rachel really came through with the lighting design and Rachel blew me away by how helpful she was with things that were not even related to what her company was there to do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lighting company as they are the absolute BEST!

Blue Steel Lighting did an amazing job! The lighting for our reception was perfect! Even the guests were commenting on how great the lighting was in the room! Blue Steel also did a beautiful pin light on our wedding cake and it made the cake totally pop in the room! If you are looking to have an elegant affair for your wedding or event, then I would totally recommend Blue Steel. It was worth every penny!

Blue Steel Lighting would be my go to for lighting any event on the Southside. I was thrilled with the level of service! Jeremy was so much fun to work with and very dedicated to making our wedding look amazing and unique. Blue Steel went above and beyond to make the lighting for our wedding personalized to our theme. They made custom gobo lights of our wedding artwork. Pin spotting our center pieces and wedding cake made them pop. Guests of our wedding can't get over how wonderful everything looked and the special lighting made our pictures look AMAZING!!! We can't thank Blue Steel enough!!!

Blue Steel Lighting was absolutely on top of every detail. We asked for spotlights & lighting to coordinate with the music during our first dance and that went off without a hitch. The lighting, which took our already beautiful venue, transformed the space into new levels of magnificence, radiance, and partying! The lighting definitely set the mood for all who had the pleasure of being engulfed by the ever changing lights that night... Ultimate perfection. This company is the best at what they do, without question!

The Garden Cafe at the Norfolk Botanical Garden does not have outdoor lighting, so I hired Jeremy and his team to light the evening. Wow, was it amazing! Blue Steel Lighting definitely set a perfect mood for my reception. When they were done, the outside courtyard of the cafe looked like a dream. Everything was so elegant (the exact opposite of me), I almost cried. It was beautiful. All the lights were so simple and perfect. I loved it... His assistants were there for the evening, but no one noticed them. They were professional and courteous to those they spoke with. I never realized how important lighting is, but now that I know this, I would definitely tell anyone who can afford it do treat yourself to the beauty it provides.

I would highly recommend Blue Steel Lighting Design to every couple planning a wedding. We LOVED the lighting job they did for our reception and it totally transformed our location into an even more beautiful and spectular place. All of our pictures were amazing and I wouldn't have done it any other way. Jeremy and his crew were professional, courteous, and easy to work with. If you have any doubts about having extra lighting at your event, make an appointment to see them in their offices so you can see their magic first hand. You will not be disappointed!

Before the wedding, I worried that I was blowing all this money on custom lighting, but it was SO worth it, and I'm so glad I used Blue Steel! I had my reception at the Cavalier Hotel, and while the ballroom would have been fine without pinspotting, the dramatic effect the pinspots had on each table, the cake, and the candy bar was AWESOME. The lighting gave the room the kind of elegant ambience I had been envisioning. It is a lot of money, yes, but if you're going to throw a big wedding, you might as well go all the way. The lighting was one of those things that just added to the beauty of the ballroom!

Jeremy and his team are awesome. I could not have been happier with his services. You would be surprised at what a difference lighting makes. It transforms the room and creates a beautiful atmosphere. It takes the decor to the next level. Lighting kicks your reception up a notch. I would recommend their services to anyone hosting a special event.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! That's what comes to mind when I think of Blue Steel's contribution to my husband and I's wedding. Not only did John do a beautiful job turning the backyard of our beach house into something out of a fairytale, but he also went above and beyond what he signed up for by installing and setting up some of our own decorations. We could not have done half of our decorating without him, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to make their wedding look as beautiful as it should.

Lighting definitely makes all the difference! We had so many compliments on our reception because of the beautiful lighting that accented our color throughout the ballroom. The spotlight monogram was beautiful as well!

From the time we walked in to the day of our wedding the staff especially Rachel was with us every step of the way. I very rarely these days see customer service at 100%. Well the blue steel lighting gives 120%. Rachel was very caring and was with us with all our lighting needs. My fiance and I were a little worried about spending a lot just for some lights. But when we met with rachel and saw what blue steel had to offer us we were so impressed that instead of getting the lighting package that was just a few lights. We went for the whole nine yards. Let me just tell you that when the wedding day arrived I was highly impressed. The place looked amazing and the lighting guys that day were right on. They matched the colors perfectly to the wedding theme without even having to tell them. I cant begin to thank Rachel and the staff of Blue Steel lighting for making our day just that much more amazing and wonderful. I would say if you are wondering if you need lighting for your wedding and not sure if it's right for your day go talk with rachel from blue steel and see just how amazing they can make your venue look with the lights. I am telling you that you won't be disappointed. Once again to Rachel and the entire staff at Blue Steel thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day beautiful and amazing.

Sincerely,
Afton and Tony Markun

It's really expensive - but totally worth it. The Chrysler Museum of Art needs very little to make a reception there beautiful - but lighting makes it so much more so! Jeremy and team did a great job. It makes such a difference with the centerpieces and pictures.

The perfect ambiance

The team from BlueSteel crafted the perfect lighting experience for our big day. They helped create an elegant feel through dinner but helped bring the party once dancing began, all the while going unnoticed as they intended it. A great company to work with.

Brought my wedding to another level!

Blue steel lighting was wonderful to work with. Kaci was responsive, professional, and had great ideas!! They lit up the house for out tent reception in multiple fun colors which created for a very party-like and fun atmosphere. They also installed some beautiful chandeliers into our tent. I would 100% recommend them for a wedding or any large event!
