Picture this: you're attending a beautiful wedding. As the sun sets, the twinkle of lights begins to glow, casting a magical hue over the venue. Suddenly, the entire atmosphere changes. The details that seemed ordinary during the day come alive with a new enchantment.


At Luminate, we don't just plan events; we create unforgettable experiences. And we know how much subtle details, like outdoor lighting, can transform an event.


Our Lighting Palette for Weddings

Every wedding is unique, and so should its lighting. That's why we offer a range of outdoor lighting options to suit every couple's vision:


Fairy Lights: There's something incredibly magical about fairy lights. Whether draped around trees or forming a starlit canopy over the reception, they infuse your wedding with whimsy.

outdoor walkway lighting, string lights, event lighting

Marquee Lights: Want to add a modern, playful touch to your wedding? Try marquee lights! They can spell words like 'LOVE' or your initials, adding a personalized touch your guests will love.

Lanterns: Whether you opt for colourful or rustic lanterns, they can add an old-world charm to your venue and create a soft, inviting glow.

LED Uplighting: LED uplights can highlight your venue's architectural beauty or the trees' natural charm. It's not just about illumination; it's about creating a visual feast for the eyes.

Candle-lit Centerpieces: Why not add candle-lit centrepieces for the dining tables? They can offer a soft, romantic glow that enhances the overall ambiance.

Choosing the Perfect Light Colors

Just like how every couple has a song, every wedding can have its colour palette of lights:


Warm Colors: If you want your wedding to feel cozy and intimate, warm hues like reds, oranges, and yellows can help set that mood.

Our Expertise in Action: A Case Study

Let us share a story with you. We recently planned a beach wedding in Vancouver where the couple wanted a dreamy and whimsical vibe. Working closely with them, our team installed hundreds of fairy lights across the beach. As the sun set, the entire beach transformed into a celestial spectacle. It wasn't just beautiful; it was memorable. That's the experience we aim to create at all weddings we plan.

Safety and Comfort

While we love creating gorgeous lighting displays, we also know the practical value of outdoor lighting. It helps prevent accidents, guides guests around the venue, and ensures everyone can access essential areas like restrooms and exits.


When planning a wedding, outdoor lighting is a detail you want to pay attention to. It doesn't just illuminate your venue; it enhances the ambiance, ensures the safety of your guests, and, ultimately, creates an unforgettable experience. And at Luminate, that's precisely what we aim to do - provide you with the best outdoor lighting solutions that will make your wedding truly shine.


As always, we're here to tailor everything to your needs and desires. So, if there's something specific you want to discuss or include, don't hesitate to contact us!
