Wedding Uplighting
Reception Lighting — Scranton, PA
Color-matched LED uplighting, dance floor lighting, and full wedding production for receptions throughout Scranton, the Poconos, and Northeastern Pennsylvania. Delivery, setup, and teardown included.
Uplighting That Matches
Your Wedding
Wedding uplighting rental in Scranton starts around $300 for a basic perimeter color wash (8–12 LED uplights, delivery, setup, teardown) and scales to $1,200+ for full wedding production with dance floor lighting, ceremony fixtures, and an on-site operator. Primal Sounds handles uplighting and reception lighting for weddings across Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, the Poconos, and all of Northeastern Pennsylvania — from intimate barn venues to hotel ballrooms.
The goal isn't to pile on lights. It's to transform the room with color, match your palette, and keep the look clean enough that guests notice the space — not the gear. Every fixture we run is RGBW, which means we can mix your exact wedding color (burgundy, blush, navy, champagne, forest green — anything) instead of getting close with a colored gel.
All uplighting is battery-powered or hardwired depending on the venue, with cable runs hidden along baseboards. The lights are silent, cool-running LED, and there are no hot spots or flicker under photo/video.
Wedding Lighting Packages
Every wedding uplighting rental includes delivery, placement, programming, and teardown. Most couples bundle in dance floor lighting and ceremony mics as one package.
LED Perimeter Uplights
8–30 RGBW LED uplights placed around the perimeter of your reception space. Full color mixing — match your wedding palette exactly, or shift colors through the night (cocktail hour amber, dinner warm white, dance floor bold).
Dance Floor Lighting
Moving heads, wash fixtures, and effects lighting programmed to the DJ's set. Optional haze for beam definition. We run the lighting board live so the energy matches the music — not a static preset.
Ceremony & First-Dance Lighting
Spot fixtures for the altar, the first-dance area, and cake displays. Clean, flattering light that reads beautifully on photo and video without competing with natural light or your photographer's flash.
Setup, Operator & Teardown
We arrive hours before guests, hide power runs, program the look, and stay through the last dance if you book the operator add-on. Teardown happens after your guests leave — no rush, no disruption.
Match Any Wedding Palette
RGBW LED fixtures mix every color in your palette — not a fixed library of gels. Send us your color swatches, invitation, or a screenshot from your planner; we program the room to match.
Warm & Romantic
Amber, champagne, and soft peach tones for classic, candlelit receptions. The most-requested palette — works in every venue style from historic mansions to modern ballrooms.
Bold Signature Colors
Burgundy, navy, emerald, dusty rose — match your exact color story. We can hold a single color through the whole evening or transition room-wide at defined moments (toasts, cake cut, first dance).
Dance Floor Energy
Once the DJ opens the dance floor, color-change wash and moving heads add energy without turning the venue into a club. Programmed live by our operator — not a canned pattern.

Wedding Uplighting FAQ
How much does wedding uplighting rental cost in Scranton, PA?
Basic perimeter uplighting starts around $300 (8–12 LED fixtures, delivery, setup, teardown). Adding dance floor lighting, ceremony fixtures, and an operator brings a full wedding lighting package to roughly $700–$1,200. Larger ballrooms or outdoor tents scale up from there. For a full picture of event pricing, see our event production cost breakdown. Call 570-290-5694 or use the quote form for a venue-specific estimate.
Can you match uplighting to our wedding colors?
Yes. Our fixtures are RGBW LED — we mix any color in your palette, not a preset library. Send swatches, invitation scans, or your planner's mood board and we program to match.
How many uplights do I need?
For a 150–250 guest reception, 10–16 uplights around the perimeter is standard. Larger ballrooms or outdoor tents typically use 20–30. We walk the venue, check sightlines and power access, and spec the right count — no overselling.
Do you set up and tear down for us?
Always included. Crew arrives hours early, hides cable runs, programs the look, and tears down after your guests leave. You don't touch any gear.
Can we combine uplighting with sound and video?
Yes — most couples bundle uplighting with our sound system rental and LED wall rental as one production package. One crew, one point of contact, one invoice.
Do you travel to Poconos, Lehigh Valley, or Wilkes-Barre venues?
Yes. We regularly service weddings throughout Wilkes-Barre, Stroudsburg & the Poconos, Lehigh Valley, and the surrounding NEPA region.
