About Vivid Events

Vivid Events is an event lighting and entertainment company based in Brookfield, Connecticut. They cover New York and Connecticut, including Hudson Valley and Catskills venues. The company has over a decade of experience in event production.

Their service list is long: lighting design, DJ entertainment, photo booths, mirror booths, pipe and drape, staging, dance floors, audio/visual, uplighting, bistro lighting, and snow machines. That breadth means you can source multiple production elements from one vendor rather than coordinating several.

The lighting side of the business is where they stand out. Custom-tailored lighting design that transforms a venue’s look and feel. Uplighting adds color and depth to reception spaces. Bistro lighting works for outdoor ceremonies and cocktail hours. These aren’t just practical services — they directly affect how a space photographs.

They also offer DJ and MC services with multiple DJs on staff. Combining DJ and lighting from one company simplifies coordination and ensures the sound and lighting work together rather than independently.

For couples planning at a Hudson Valley wedding venue or Catskills wedding venue where the venue provides the space but not the production, Vivid Events can fill the gap with lighting, sound, and entertainment as a consolidated package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book Vivid Events for just lighting, or do I have to use their DJ too?

Services can be booked individually or as a package. You can hire them for lighting only, DJ only, or combine services based on what you need.

Does wedding lighting make a difference for photography?

Yes — dramatically. Professional lighting changes the color, depth, and mood of a room. Uplighting eliminates flat overhead fluorescents, gobo projections add visual interest, and properly lit reception spaces produce noticeably better photos. It is one of the highest-impact investments for both the guest experience and the photo gallery.

What types of lighting are available for weddings?

Common options include uplighting (color wash on walls), string lights/bistro lights, gobo projections (custom patterns or monograms), pin spots on centerpieces, wash lighting on head tables, and chandeliers. Some vendors also handle draping and staging.

How much does wedding lighting cost in the Hudson Valley?

Basic uplighting packages typically start around $800-$1,500. Custom lighting design with multiple elements can range from $2,500-$10,000+. The cost depends on venue size, complexity of the design, and how much equipment is needed.
