Blue Steel Lighting Design

fantastic!

ad service I received. Blue Steel (Michelle, the owner) cancelled on me literally 48 hrs before my wedding! Just the day prior they sent me an email stating how excited they were for our wedding. So I don’t understand what changed so quickly to make them do a 360 degree turn. I believe that if a vendor does not want to work for a client, then that vendor should not accept payment from that client, nor enter into a contractual agreement. They knew beforehand all of our wedding details, which was not anything complicated and included only a couple of light changes. I’ve treated Blue Steel with nothing but respect. In my opinion, it is repulsive and heartless to cancel on a bride so last minute . On top of that, they brushed it off making it seem like it would be so easy to find another credible vendor so last minute. I was completely floored by them cancelling on us, and I implore anyone reading this review to take my experience with Blue Steel Lighting into serious consideration.

upscale options for us at a affordable price point. They also had great optionality. They were very flexible with an outdoor wedding and gave us the option to add additional items up to the day before the wedding; that is not typical in this industry, as we learned. The owner, Michelle, a former wedding planner, brings a wealth of knowledge about the overall process and knows what goes in to planning a large event. There photos of their equipment were helpful as we browsed and chose the lights to make our big day perfect. Also, Michelle’s husband helped us work out some logistics with our band and their power requirements. At an old venue, this could be an issue if you don’t have the personal touch that Blue Steel gave us. The owners took the time to meet with us personally, which shows their commitment to their business. Finally, Kaci, one of Michelle’s assistants was super helpful in fulfilling everything they promised us. We have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about this company and would recommend to anyone looking for a lighting company for a wedding or event.

g a relaxed/exciting environment) was nothing short of incredible. I am very impressed with how everything turned out and I highly recommend!!!

le and made everything look elegant. It took us awhile to all get on the same page but once we did everything was very easy, they took care of the rest and our wedding looked beautiful.

I looked at and in particular for the weddings I liked! So I immediately contacted them even before I had my planner as I wanted to get on their books - thank goodness I did! I got married in a ballroom as a practical matter (more convenient for elderly guests) but really wanted the ballroom transformed as I wasn't a big fan of the carpet and walls. Blue Steel literally made it into a completely different room with their lighting and design. It was incredible!! Also I had a garden theme I wanted brought to life and Blue Steel not only did lighting but helps engineer the overall design including a whole dance floor structure, bringing in all sorts of trees and shrubbery and hanging lanterns from the ceiling to create an intimate atmosphere that was also grand and elegant. It was amazing and made the reception absolutely perfect. Thank you, Blue Steel!!

orm the venue especially with the columns. Everyone loved the gabo on the wall - we heard so many great things about it!! Highly, highly recommend blue steel! They're amazing!

! Technician on site all night, you worry about nothing! Gorgeous!

The results were spectacular! Jeremy and Michelle were great to work with, creative and professional. They followed through on every detail to create a magical wedding event. I would highly recommend Blue Steel Lighting Design for your next special occasion.

lighting was necessary for our space. A little pricey, but definitely worth it!

plighting and pinspots, monogram and wall design, it was a vision!!! Thank you for being so wonderful to work with and for creating the most beautiful reception ever. :) Signed- a happy bride!

! Starting with the first appointment, the customer service was off the charts I knew that Blue Steel would make our reception venue look gorgeous and fit the vibe that we were going for and sure enough, they did!! The draping, lighting, trees, and all of the other little touches that Blue Steel did really made our reception come together and transformed the space. We feel blessed to have had such a dedicated and brilliant team with us on our wedding day. Thank you to the entire Blue Steel team!!

we needed to shift our layout to our rain plan. I HIGHLY recommend.

ul everything was. Thank you for helping make our dream wedding come true!

in) but most importantly to the energy or the entire event! Blue Steel did an amazing job and let me tell you that between their lighting and the DJs skills, the dance floor was occupied all night long. Also our pictures look amazing! Little details pop out because of how they were lit. Thank you Michelle and Jeremy! You both rock!

nd took their time ensuring that everything was correct and to my liking. They were so easy to work with and truly transformed the backyard and the tent into the "midsummer's night dream" that I had envisioned. They stayed during the entire wedding to monitor and tweak the lighting as needed and really made sure everything was perfect. I can't thank them enough--they really made my vision come to life and far exceeded my expectations.

inning, we really threw some ideas at Jeremy and Caitlyn and they literally took "Cinderella gets lost in the woods" and made it a Magical Woodland Fairytale. One huge thing that needs to be discussed was the custom pieces they created. When it came to drapery in the Reception Tent, I looked at all photos for inspiration and couldn't fall in love with any of it. Jeremy stepped in, he said "I think I may have an idea" and he came back with a few concept drawings. From those, he got more and more inspired and what came out was the most beautiful thing you've NEVER seen. He created custom wood pieces hanging from the ceiling, with chandeliers hanging from them. Another thing I threw at them was to hide the tent poles on the ceiling. Thinking he'd do some drapery, his solution was something completely unexpected, but incredibly awesome. It was long pillars of wood with scrolls on the end, i mean pretty much indescribable. Jeremy was so excited to show them, but worried they'd be over the top, however knowing I wanted something unique he took a chance, and boy did it pay off big time. They made a wall of foliage and drapery to hide the trailer port-a-johns, beautiful vintage lamps hanging from the side of the tents, custom stage sidings, custom bars with a tv slideshow and so much more. They also were able to convert everything from outdoor locations to a rain plan tent with only a day to figure it out, and made it beautiful at that! Even at night, the whole place shifted in lighting to an amazing Gala type party with luxurious blues, a Edison bulb lit fire-pit area, and a up-lit lined driveway. Ultimately when you hire these guys, let them do their job. Let them come up with something amazing for you that will stand out from anyone else's wedding, and you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Blue Steel for making our Wedding Amazing, it honestly wouldn't have been the same without you!! Amelia & David 9-26-15

o did a great job recreating our monogram on the dance floor. Don't hesitate to book them!

at their job. The man who ran the lighting board orchestrated the lights throughout the night to change with the mood. If you have the money lights really make the event.

sphere. Our venue was beautiful to start but I feel that the lighting we had pulled it all together.

I wanted, literally every detail, came true! I am still raving at all of the lighting details in all of my wedding photos. My guests were amazed at how beautiful every lighting change was! I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Steel for any and all of your lighting needs. -- Nicole

DJ. He is professional and fun all in one! He knows how to get people up and moving, he engaged the crowd, and he plays EXACTLY what you do or do not want. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ.

perfect.

re so nice and can really take your ideas and make them a reality. The pin lights really make the centerpieces and cake standout and look even more amazing. The personalized monogram light on the dance floor is such a nice touch. We even had snowflake lights in our lounge area that really made it a winter wonderland. And the uplighting really transforms the space - we had our ceremony and reception at the same place, but it was, literally, day and night with the way things looked! The combination of the lights and a custom designed pipe/draping helped us to make the spaces look completely different. Blue Steel went above and beyond to help us design this space and make it exactly what we were hoping for! Additionally, their on-site person helped our wedding planner hang things from the ceiling which was a huge help! The lighting was beautiful throughout the night and changed appropriately for the different aspects of the wedding (ie. dinner, first dance, cake cutting, dancing). It really made the pictures amazing, too! Blue Steel gives you excellent, friendly service, tons of experience and options, and the biggest bang-for-your-buck you can get in wedding decor. We highly recommend that you book with them!
