Wedding Lighting Design in New York & Long Island

Uplighting, an intelligent light show and your name in lights — depth, warmth and direction for every moment of the night.

The Craft

Light is how a room changes mood

The same ballroom can feel like candlelight at dinner and a nightclub at eleven. That shift is lighting: warm uplighting on the walls while guests eat, a pattern washing the dance floor as the first song starts, then a moving light show that builds with the DJ’s set.

Genesis designs lighting as part of the entertainment. Because the same team runs your DJ, the light show follows the music in real time — and your name in lights lands exactly where the photographer wants it.

The Design

Lighting we bring

Layered to the room and programmed to the night.

Uplighting

Wall and architectural uplighting in your colors — warmth for dinner, drama for the dance floor.

Intelligent Light Show

A premium moving-light show programmed to the DJ set, from the first dance to the last song.

Name in Lights

Your names or monogram projected onto the dance floor, wall or ceiling.

Gobo & Dance-Floor Patterns

Textured patterns and marquee lettering that turn the floor into part of the design.

The Process

Designed for the room, cued to the music

We start with the venue’s architecture — the walls worth washing, the ceiling worth catching, the floor everyone will dance on — and your palette. Then the design is programmed to your timeline: dinner, first dance, open floor, last song.

On the night, the lighting runs from the same cue sheet as your DJ and MC, so every look changes with the music rather than on a timer.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ and MC for our wedding! They were so easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. We loved being able to customize our playlist and have the music reflect our style and vision for the day. They did an amazing job reading the room, keeping the energy just right, and making sure everyone had a great time on the dance floor. As our MC, they kept everything flowing smoothly and helped make the entire evening feel seamless. They truly played a huge part in making our wedding so special and memorable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ and MC who are professional, accommodating, and know how to keep the party going!

We hired Damian and Genesis for our wedding, and they truly went above and beyond with all the bells and whistles! From our perfect GRAND ENTRANCE, they made every guest feel like a superstar. Everyone got to walk the red carpet and have their picture taken, and the photos made such a fun favor for everyone to take home. The vinyl photos of us on the doors were AMAZING, and the smoke machine for our first dance, along with our names shining on the dance floor, made every moment feel so special. Every little detail was perfect. And then there’s Damian! His attention to detail, professionalism, and that cute smile made everything even better. 😂 He made sure everything ran smoothly and helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect. I was so impressed that I recommended Damian to friends who were getting married at the same venue, Sand Castle — and he was just as spectacular! Damian emceed their wedding, and the energy, music, and entertainment had everyone on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. If you’re looking for someone who will make your event unforgettable and truly treat your guests like stars, I highly recommend Damian and Genesis! You will not be disappointed! ❤️

Genesis Events was the ABSOLUTE BEST for our wedding at the Ravel Hotel! Damian was our MC and Yianni was our DJ, and they were both incredible. The team was so easy to work with. They set up calls, answered every question without hesitation, and used everything we put into the app. They exceeded our expectations in every way! No one sat down the entire wedding, and we are still hearing from guests about how amazing the music was! We couldn’t recommend Genesis Events more! All our love, Gia and Stephen

We cannot say enough amazing things about Genesis Events!! We had our wedding last night, and the music was absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, everything was exactly what we wanted and more. The dance floor was packed, and we had so many guests coming up to us throughout the night telling us how much they loved the music! DJ Ikonic was AMAZING! He knew exactly what to play to keep everyone dancing and the energy going all night long! MC Joseph was AWESOME too! He brought such great energy and made the entire night so much fun! A special thank you to Angelina for making the entire planning process so easy and stress-free! She listened to every little thing I had to say, answered all my questions, and truly made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. I appreciated that more than she knows! The entire team truly went above and beyond to make our wedding night unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we are so grateful! Thank you, Genesis Events, for making our wedding the BEST NIGHT EVER!! ❤️

We used Genesis for some rentals for our wedding and could not have been happier! The stage was perfect and the band said it was amazing!! We were super happy with everything and you made the experience seamless and were so easy to work with. Thanks for all your help and hopefully we can work together again in the future on another occasion.

Lighting — FAQs

What lighting do you offer?

Uplighting, a premium intelligent (moving-light) show, custom name-in-lights projection, gobo and dance-floor patterns, and marquee lettering — designed together as one look.

Can the lighting match our colors?

Yes. Uplighting and patterns are programmed to your palette, and can shift through the night — warm tones at dinner, deeper color for the dance floor.

Does the light show follow the music?

It does. Because the same team runs your DJ, the intelligent light show is cued to the set in real time rather than running on a loop.

Will the lighting work in our venue?

We design to the room — its architecture, ceiling height and power — and confirm placement with the venue in advance. Historic and landmark rooms are very familiar territory.

Is lighting included with a DJ package?

Dance-floor lighting scaled to the room comes with every Genesis DJ. Designed lighting — uplighting, name in lights, a full intelligent show — is added to your package.

How far in advance should we plan lighting?

Colors and looks are chosen with your planner in the months before; the final design is confirmed with the venue about a month out.
