Wedding work is mostly warm uplighting around the room, pin-spots on the tables and a dance floor effect after the meal. Corporate and conference jobs lean towards stage wash, lectern lighting and branded gobos. Outdoor events add festoon runs and weatherproofing, which is where most of the extra cost sits.

"From the very first meeting, Davide demonstrated great professionalism and competence, managing to interpret our wishes perfectly regarding the lighting. What can I say, he knew how to create a magnificent atmosphere, which still moves me today when I look at the photos from that evening. On a special day like a wedding, everything (or almost everything) is always beautiful and perfect, the installation of the lights was truly the extra touch that made the day unforgettable for us and for our guests."
