Uplighting Rental in Dubuque

Watch an ordinary reception hall turn into your room. Our LED uplights wash the walls, pillars and backdrop in your wedding colors, so the whole space matches your day – and every photo glows.

Absolute Music has been DJing weddings and events in Dubuque since 1993.

Your colors, your room

Pick any color and we set it for you – red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, white and more. The room glows in your colors from the first guest to the last dance.

Made for photos

Uplighting changes how the whole room photographs. Your photographer gets a glowing backdrop behind the first dance, the toasts and every candid in between.

Wedding reception hall before and after uplighting

The most wow for the money

Couples tell us uplighting gets more compliments than any other decoration at their event. It is the easiest way to completely transform a venue.

Quick setup, nothing to hang

Each light sits on the floor and aims up the wall, so there is nothing to hang and nothing in the way of your guests. Setup takes less than a minute per light, and the lights work on walls, backdrops, pillars, tents and trees.

The basics

What uplighting is and how it differs from DJ lighting.

What is uplighting?

Uplighting is small lights placed on the floor and aimed up to create a vertical beam of color. It changes the look and feel of your venue and adds ambiance.

What is the difference between DJ lighting and uplighting?

DJ lighting is the moving colored lights over the dance floor, and it comes with the DJ service. Uplighting is a set of stationary lights placed around the inside edge of your reception space to add color and change the look of the room.

Where do the lights go?

Uplighting is commonly used on walls, backdrops, pillars, tents and trees. The lights sit on the floor, up against the surface, and aim up.

Your setup

How many lights and what color.

How many uplights do you rent?

We rent 12 uplights, placed around your room.

Can the lights match our wedding colors?

Yes. We set the color for you, and any color is a push of a button away, so the room can match your wedding colors.

Still have a question?

Every event is worth a conversation.
