Uplighting around the ballroom at Dover Hall
What’s the best lighting & drape at Dover Hall?
Dover Hall’s primary event space is the beautiful ballroom. While we have done total transformations to the ballroom in the past, the most popular service is uplighting. A total transformation is possible. Check out these pictures from a white Drape transformation at Dover Hall. For this transformation, we brought in 22-foot drapes and drape supports to cover the existing burgundy drape. In addition to our usual uplighting look, we can add aclassic bistro to create an intimate feeling.
A total room transformation set up for our friends at Elle Loren & Co. at Dover Hall was completed using a 22′ white poly-premiere drapes. Bistro lighting and uplights.
Lighting and draping a tent at Dover Hall
The main ballroom isn’t the only place where a total transformation is possible. We can bring our lighting and drape looks to the tent as well. For this transformation, we used over 6,000 sq ft of drape and 1,200 ft of mini lights (Christmas lights). Vibrant Amber uplighting completes the look. We draped a large portion of the nondescript tent roof. This also brought the ceiling in a little bit to add to the intimacy of the look.
Twinkle lights provide subtle and even lighting throughout the tent. Meanwhile, the same many lights create a beautiful fairy tale look along with the drape. Uplighting down the sides of the tent caps off the look by adding a surreal perspective.
At Dover Hall, Lighting and Drapery can include many things. However, uplighting will look good anywhere on the property.
