Uplighting or Fog Effects?

Which dynamic effect would you choose to visually upgrade your reception?? Would you rather use colored uplighting to totally transform the space? Or would you rather use fog effects to dramatically change the mood for your first dance? Which reception upgrade would you rather have? Uplighting?...

    We're having both! the up lights and fog plus sparklers.

    The fog in this picture looks nice but I'll stick with my uplighting. I like to see where I'm stepping.

    I feel like uplighting is always very beautiful but the fog effect for the first dance is just so memorizing and whimsical, i would rather have that.

    I know we would both prefer uplighting over fog even though fog does look pretty nice.

    Uplighting, for the sake of my lungs.

    Also, our venue was mostly open to the outside, so fog effects wouldn't have lasted long at all.

    Neither but if I had to choose it would be up lighting. Fog just freaks me out.

    Definitely uplighting!
    i saw someone have fog and it left like a wetness on the dance floor that had to be awkwardly mopped after

    Uplighting.... fog at a personal event looks tacky to me.

    I'm having both? But just for the first dance. It's the only thing I wanted to be a little more theatrical. Uplighting will be standard through the reception

    Uplighting. Fog is cool but after the initial moment is done, it's just smoky and not fun to breathe.

    Uplighting! This is the one thing my fiancé has been very adamant about wanting since we started wedding planning.

    I don't think I've ever actually seen fog at a wedding. I love uplighting, our venue actually comes with it, the fog may be a nice touch though.

    I've worked at a halloween store and fogged the whole place beyond belief... and I gotta go with fog.
