Lighting and Atmospheric Features

Event lighting can transform or define a room, vibe or general feel. More, lighting sets the mood and atmosphere for an entire event. At Xplosive Entertainment, we look at lighting from a theatrical standpoint. By highlighting select elements within a room, we can draw guests’ attention to specific items. For example, during an honor dance, we can spot light the moment. Or, to create a Winter Wonderland feel within a room, we can use blue colored up-lights to wash the walls while projecting snowflake patterns on the ceilings. When executed properly, by using high quality equipment, lighting can discretely make BIG impacts on your event.

Below, we will review the three different broad classifications of event lighting.

Ambient Room Up-Lighting

Xplosive entertainment uses high quality battery powered up-lights to wash a room in color. We can create nearly any color imaginable. These lights can be set to a static color or can be color controlled throughout the night creating a virtual energy as the colors fade, chase, and even strobe with the music.

Intelligent Moving Head Dance Floor Lighting

This category of lighting is very broad. Do not be fooled by our competitors who promote “club lighting” or a “dance floor light show”, as these are typically cheesy and cheap looking lighting effects. True intelligent lights are controllable by an onsite technician who can adjust the following variables: color, brightness, positioning, pattern, and strobe. These intelligent lights are the same types of lights you are accustomed to seeing on TV shows like American Idol and X-Factor. These are also the same types of lights used in concerts and night clubs. When adding haze to the atmosphere, you can clearly see the beams of light. But, even without haze, the effect is still extremely noticeable as the light effects create motion, energy, and atmosphere.

Monogram Gobo Projection

Different than the above two lighting effects, a monogram gobo is generally meant to be in a static position and display a logo or image onto a wall, ceiling, or floor. Gobo projections are used to show names, dates, logos, or themed effects. Gobos are technically die-cut metal disks made to fit within a special light. Gobos are often a solid white, but can also come in color. Xplosive Entertainment also offers animated gobo projections. In this case, we can animate the image your guests see.

Light Tube Display

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Can we give 10 stars?? Jaymie, Dylan and the Xplosive Entertainment team absolutely knocked it out of the park! This was for our daughter’s Sweet 16 and guests are still talking about how awesome they were.

– DAVID

When we asked our twin daughters how many stars we should give, they both immediately said “FIVE!” We were fortunate to have DJ Dylan and MC Nick for their Sweet 16. Although they had never met the girls, you would’ve thought they’ve known them for years. Being able to upload their song selections ahead of time was fantastic. The photo booth was fantastic as well! The evening was a huge success thanks to Xplosive Entertainment! Everyone, adults and teenagers, were up dancing and having a great time all night long. We will be talking about this event for many years and recommending Xplosive to everyone we know!

– JOHN & MEGAN

I cannot begin to say how pleased I was with Xplosive Entertainment for my daughter’s Sweet 16. Their eye for detail during the planning and execution was second to none.

– MICHAEL

Our son and daughters bnai mitzvah was more incredible than we could have possibly imagined, and we owe that in large part to Xplosive. We have attended many Xplosive parties, and have always been impressed – but as the host you really get to see the professionalism, creativity, and patience from start to finish.

– SCOTT

This is the second time our family has worked with Dylan and Xplosive Entertainment. The first time was on a recommendation, and we had no IDEA how incredibly talented, fun, amazing, and dare I say Epic, Dylan and his crew were going to be. They were responsible for the party that went down in history!!!

– MARNI

Xplosive Entertainment brought the magic and energy to our family celebration like no other! Michael and Dylan were absolute stars, creating an unforgettable party experience with their incredible music and contagious energy. The dance floor was electric all night! Our guests are still raving about every memorable moment. What truly sets them apart is their attention to detail. Even behind the scenes, Michael and Dylan’s passion and dedication were evident. From engaging with guests to keeping the energy high, they exceeded every expectation. Thank you for making our event extraordinary and unforgettable!

– ANDREA

Our son’s bar mitzvah was perfect! The entire staff at xplosive made sure every detail was perfect, and helped us make our vision come to life!!! They were helpful in the planning and keeping us on a timeframe so we did not get overwhelmed and made the process easy to navigate. The music and talent were incredible! We received so many compliments from our guests throughout the party and weeks following!

– LAUREN

We used Xplosive Entertainment for our daughter’s Quinceañera and were very pleased with the results. The thing I wanted more than anything was for my daughter to have an unforgettable night with her friends and family – and Xplosive helped deliver that. They incorporated our family’s traditions, songs and themes while making sure that the kids (and adults!) were included in the fun. Shout out to Jaymie Perez our Emcee who was creative, energetic and wonderful! Our photobooth attendant, Randi was also lovely! We had a great time!

– ALEXANDRA

The name says it all! XPLOSIVE! The energy was through the roof all night. Our daughter’s Quinceañera exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable. True professionals at their finest!

– MARTA

We could’t be any happier. My husband and I know nothing about event planning. This was a major undertaking for our family. Xplosive gave us the necessary sense of calm we needed to ensure our daughter had the night of her life! She celebrated with over 150 guests ranging from little cousins, to grand parents and of course her school friends.  It was perfect in every way!
