Sunshine Coast SoundCoolum, Sunshine Coast

Weddings, parties, corporate events and shows

Event lighting hire: uplighting, festoon, dance floor and stage.

Wireless LED uplighting in any colour, festoon over tables, dance-floor lighting, and front light and colour washes for shows. Delivered, set up and packed down, usually with the sound.

What we light

Four kinds of lighting cover nearly every event on the Coast. Mix them, or start with one.

Uplighting

Battery LED fixtures against the walls, pillars or trees, in one colour or a wash of two. No cables, one remote. The single biggest change you can make to a hired room.

Festoon and fairy lights

Warm bulbs strung over an outdoor reception, along a verandah or through a marquee. Rigged properly, with the poles and weights if the venue has nothing to hang from.

Dance floor

Moving heads or colour washes across the floor, a little haze if the venue allows it, and control that follows the music without turning the room into a nightclub before dessert.

Stage and show lighting

Front light so faces read from the back row, colour washes for scenes, a desk with the cues built, and an operator if you want one. Schools, dance concerts, community theatre, bands.

Colours

Send a swatch from your stationery, a hex code from your brand guide or a photo of the flowers. We set the colour on site with the room's own light, not in a shed, because a colour that looks right on a phone often looks wrong on a cream wall.

The colour can move through the night — warm amber while people eat, something deeper once the dance floor opens, your brand colour for the awards and back to warm for the wind-down.

No cablesBattery fixtures run all night. Nothing taped down, nothing for guests to trip on.
One remoteEvery fixture changes together, or in groups, from one controller.
Rigged safelyFestoon on rated line with weights and poles; stage fixtures on stands or bars with safeties.
Same van as the soundLighting travels with the PA, so it costs a fraction of a separate lighting hire.

Where we set up

Function rooms and marquees from Noosa to Caloundra, hinterland barns and gardens at Montville, Maleny and Yandina, surf clubs and bowls clubs, school halls, and back lawns for the parties. Outdoor sites with no power are fine — the uplights don't need any and we bring batteries for the rest.

Stage lit for a school or community show: front light on performers, coloured wash behind, from the audience. Landscape.lit-04-stage-wash.jpg

Common questions

Do the uplights need power points?

No. They're battery-powered and wireless, run all night on a charge, and are controlled from one remote.

Can we have our exact colour?

Yes. Send a swatch, a hex code or a photo and we match it on site. It can change during the event.

Can you light an outdoor reception?

Yes. Festoon over the tables, uplights on the trees, a lit path to the car park. We bring the rigging and, where there's no power, the batteries.

Do you do lighting for shows?

Yes. Front light, colour washes and a control desk for school and community productions, dance concerts and bands, with an operator if you need one.

Is it just for weddings?

No. Corporate dinners, milestone parties, school formals, launches and club functions use the same kit. Uplighting in a brand colour is the fastest way to make a hired room look like yours.
