What Pinspot Lighting actually is
A pinspot is a small fixture with a very narrow beam. Pointed at a cake or a centerpiece, it lifts that one object out of a dim room. It is the least flashy thing on this list and quietly the highest return, because a florist bill and a cake bill are usually far larger than the lighting bill, and both disappear when the room goes dark for dancing.
What to point them at
The cake first, then the head table, then whichever florals cost the most. Escort card displays and sweetheart tables are the next tier. If you are doing a cake cutting after the lights are down, a pinspot is the difference between a usable photograph and a dark one.
Will your venue allow it?
No venue objects to pinspots. They are small, they sit on stands or clamp to existing rigging, and they draw almost nothing. The only planning question is where the cake and head table are actually going to end up, which is why we ask for your floor plan rather than guessing.
Pinspot Lighting questions couples ask
What is pinspot lighting at a wedding?
A pinspot is a small fixture with a narrow beam aimed at one object, such as the cake, the head table or a floral arrangement, so that object stays visible after the house lights are lowered for dancing. At Weddings Unlimited pinspot lighting is part of Magic Moments at $395.
Do we need pinspots if we already have uplighting?
They do different jobs. Uplighting changes the walls and the mood of the whole room, while pinspots make one object readable in a dark room. Couples who spent real money on florals or a cake usually want both, and both are included in Magic Moments at $395.
How much does pinspot lighting cost?
Pinspot lighting is part of Magic Moments at Weddings Unlimited, which is $395 for special effects and lighting added to your wedding, and it gets cheaper when bundled with photography, videography, DJ and MC, photo booth or coordination.
What should we pinspot at our reception?
The cake first, then the head table, then the most expensive florals. Escort card displays and sweetheart tables come next. Send us your floor plan and we will place them where your photographer will be shooting.
