04.25.2026 we had our wedding at Bayview. Unico did an absolute amazing job. He exceeded my expectations in so many different ways. I had very precise instructions on how I wanted dinner to go (rnb sing a long style) and instead of delivering just that, he had everyone up dancing to the rnb play list. When I tell you, I was in complete shock at how someone can read the room so perfectly. He truly is one of a kind. Thank you for putting him on for my wedding. He will be highly requested for any event moving forward.

Uplighting, an intelligent light show and your name in lights — depth, warmth and direction for every moment of the night.
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.
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.
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.
Lighting designs, in the room
Uplighting, texture, ambience and marquee lettering from recent weddings.

4.9★ 173 Google Reviews Genesis took our wedding to the absolute next level - they managed music throughout the night, ranging from a string quartet at ceremony to a jazz trio at cocktail hour to percussion / DJ (Raz) / MC at reception. Damian and Angelina at Genesis totally understood our lofty assignment of a tri-cultural wedding with Persian, Indian, American music. They gave extra prep to the ethnic musics ahead of time, reviewing our song lists and listening/prepping sets. Angelina helped us design our custom DJ booth to match the room. Huge thanks to Damian for bringing our wedding to life. We got so much positive feedback from guests and the dance floor was packed the entire night!
Read on GoogleWe had an incredible experience with Genesis Events from start to finish. They were the preferred vendor for our venue, and I can see why! We initially met with Dario who gave us our proposal and all the information we needed to make a decision. The meeting with him was so thorough! Throughout the planning, Angelina (name twins!!) was our contact, and she was great! She helped finalize all the little details during our final meeting (which was great because I am so indecisive) and came up with such a pretty design for our Photo Booth! The night of the wedding was amazing. Fabio was our MC and DJ Raz was our DJ. They were both fantastic! Fabio was fun and kept the energy up for all of our guests. He did a great job getting everyone up and dancing for the Tarantella! Before the guests came into the reception room, he quickly went over all the details with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The music provided by DJ Raz was great! We danced so much, our dance floor was never empty, right through to the final song of the night. He played all of our "must haves" and quite a few of our "inspo" list, and some that I didn't even think of but were perfect for our crowd of guests! Truly a wonderful experience with Genesis Events, thank you so much!!
Read on GoogleGenesis events did such an amazing job on our wedding on 8/24/23!! Damian, the dj, and the violinist were all so awesome and we've gotten a ton of compliments from guests telling us it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding, and genesis events was definitely a huge part of that. I was so nervous beforehand and asked a million questions, all of which were answered promptly and Damian was so awesome at putting my mind at ease. Thank you so much!!!

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.
