Jaclyn Cashman & Trevor Childs Wedding - August 14, 2010

2011-03-08T17:08:00.000-05:00

Featured Wedding - WellWed Magazine

5 page wedding feature!!

This couple left nothing out when it came to their beautiful Cape Cod wedding! From the festive cocktail hour on the croquet lawn to the lavish reception with spirited swing dancers and sweet candy to the extraordinary fireworks display after the reception all the way through to the upbeat after party in the luxurious Chatham Bars Inn Monomoy Room, this wedding did not dissapoint!

The reception was held at the remarkable Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, MA. It was such an ideal spot for a true Cape Cod wedding with a lovely view of the ocean and a tranquil summer breeze.

Under the spectacular tent made of handmade sailcloth guests danced up a storm and a photobooth provided hilarious snapshots documenting the unforgettable day.

Gorgeous floral tabletop arrangements and our elegant vintage styled crystal chandeliers really added a special romantic feel to the reception. Once the sun set our ambient light wash on the tent canopy really illuminated the space and set everything a glow.

After the reception came the fireworks and then everyone followed Jaclyn and Trevor up the front steps and through the Chatham Bars Inn lobby to the after-party where there were delicious late night snacks, a DJ, and a light show pulsing to the DJ's music like a nightclub, transformed with our specialty lighting.

Wedding at Castle Hill in Newport, RI -- Saturday October 9, 2010

2010-11-23T12:00:00.050-05:00

It's no wonder a collaboration between a highly renowned floral designer and two newly joined event planners were able to create such a classic, yet stylish dining space at Castle Hill. With their impeccable eye for elegance and sophistication the wedding was unforgettable.

Our warm pinspot lighting painted the stunning custom floral centerpieces with light, while the clustered candles cast a soft glow on the stylish white slipper chairs.

By hanging our decadent clear crystal chandeliers down the center of the ethereal-like tent canopy at Castle Hill we were able to create a romantic atmosphere for this wedding.

With an experienced lighting designer in cohoots with a world-class event designer, the possibilities were endless for this cocktail tent. The upwash lighting of the canopy made our two-tiered crystal beaded chandeliers sparkle and shine, giving the tent a trendy feel. The ottomans, glow bar and light up "high boys," also added to the swanky lounge atmosphere. The focused pinspot lighting of the tall tabletop arrangements enhanced the florals with a a beam of rich color adding a luminosity to the room and festivities.

Grace Ormonde's Book Launch Bash: "Being In Love Never Goes Out of Style."-- 7/15/2010

2010-07-27T15:57:00.004-04:00

It's not hard to create a magical setting at the already beautiful Chanler at the Cliff Walk in Newport, RI however, John Orton for Stoneblossom Floral & Event Design along with Ormonde Productions were able to transform the grounds even more with this swanky outdoor lounge!

This classic and sophisticated furniture, provided by John Orton, paired with this whimsical sheer fabric structure, overlooking the Newport shoreline provided guests with the ideal relaxing atmosphere in which to mingle and simply enjoy the beautiful summer evening.

Grace Ormonde was able to take in some of the tranquil Newport scenery, while also taking the time to sign some copies of her new coffee table wedding book, "being in love never goes out of style," for guests.

When the sun set the Outdoor Lounge was even more breathtaking than before! The uplighting in the tent created an aura remnicent of a moonlight glow, and a very soothing feel.

Julie and John, South Dartmouth, MA 9-12-09

2010-05-11T11:24:00.008-04:00

We love Julie and John! Their Cape Cod wedding was absolutely spectacular.

Ormonde Productions collaborated with Kelli O'Brien from Exquisite Events to create a sexy lounge area in their massive century tent.

We projected dreamy cloud patterns on the comfy lounge furniture. Our soft white drapes created an intimate space.

The colorful dinner area was swagged with sheer pink fabric, creating a magical enviroment.

The textured star pattern that was projected onto the floor was great! Our "intelligent lighting" provided constantly changing color and movement.

The florals were to die for! Our pin spotting really made the designs pop! This is a dedicated beam of light focused on each centerpiece.

The incredible collaboration of all the professionals below really made this event world class.

What chandeliers can do for your next event!

2010-04-20T12:54:00.003-04:00

Chandeliers can be used to make a bold and elegant statement at any event. Hanging chandeliers can add depth and elegance to any raw space especially in a tented event. We can suspend chandeliers from virtually anywhere to create a stunning and beautiful lighting option. Adding chandeliers to any event will create an overall stylish appeal that is sure to impress anyone!

The hanging crystal chandeliers are perfect for any occasion. They can be hung in a space where glamour and glitz are essential. The chandelier is made up of hanging crystal strands with a white light illuminating the inside of the chandelier or lighting can be projected onto these chandeliers to change their color.

This five layer beaded chandelier is larger in size and is composed of short and long crystal strands. Special lighting can be projected at the event causing these chandeliers to change color and truly enhance its sparkle.

This antique crystal chandelier has candle lights and crystals that are hung from the bottom. The small detail of this chandelier adds to the overall elegance and grace of this lighting fixture.

This chandelier is a similar style to the one above. Consisting of a black wrought iron frame with white candle lights and large hanging crystals, this chandelier is perfect for an event where black is incorporated and can match any desired theme.

This mirror tile chandelier is unique in style and shape. It is composed of small mirror tile reflecting squares all strung together varying in length and size. The color of the chandelier can be altered to fit your color scheme and are great for outdoor parties to add a special summer flare!

Jill & Jeff at The Glen Manor House

2010-03-17T12:15:00.002-04:00

The Glen Manor House in Portsmouth RI is an elegant spot for a wedding! It is styled after the Petit Trianon at Versailles and has a wonderful French Country feel inside and out. There are lovely terraces and formal gardens lovingly cared for. The ceremony is often held outside with a commanding view of the Sakonnet River.

Adding light and lounge furnishings to the terrace is a popular request. It gives guests a cozy spot to relax and catch their breath between dance sets!

Our Balls Glow!!!! Yep! And we mean that only in the most FABULOUS WAY!

2010-02-15T19:30:00.006-05:00

Let it Glow!!!
Wow. We LOVE the absolutely endless possibilities of our glowing spheres to add fun and flair to our upcoming events. We have them in three sizes.
Check out the "Wow" they provide - combined with the architectural uplighting we did recently at Belle Mer in Newport. They are part of our state-of-the-art, remotely controlled, LED lighting system. Not only can we dim or brighten them - they can change color throughout the evening too!

This goes for the lighting effects we can provide inside and out for your event. Leave it to our expert lighting technicians to create the perfect atmosphere from start to finish.

This ethereal blue dining room can become lavender or pink - subtle or strong - in a smooth snap!

Can't forget about the band! Here's the incomparable Night Shift (gotta book these guys WAY in advance!). Our "robotic" intelligent light fixtures not only spotlight your entertainment, they can add movement and excitement to your dancefloor as well.

Inspired Peacock Theme at Astor's Beechwood!

2010-02-07T14:18:00.004-05:00

We had such fun working with Rudy and Meaghan - taking their vision of a peacock theme and running with it. Our paisley projections on the terrace walls creates a HOT backdrop for this cool photo. It's so great when the Bride and Groom aren't afraid of using rich, strong color.

Here's they are on their Big Day - after months and months in the planning:

Great shot catches the natural light by the ornate window....

Our lighting kicks the party into high gear. We used architectural uplighting to enhance the ballroom - and the terrace literally "glowed" with saturated color! Our sheer drapes added softness and romance. It was amazing after the Newport sun set over the Bay.

The peacock theme continued in the tented lounge where guests enjoyed cigars and dessert. Our enhancement of the multicolored ceiling with light - and spotlighting of the focal floral design - created such great ambience it was tough to tear guests away at the stroke of midnight!

This terrific couple pulled out all the stops for their September wedding. From the cushy comfortable lounge to the amazingly appointed dinner area - this event was over-the-top!
Elegant floored tents graced the sweeping lawns of the Sisters of Saint Dorothy retreat - atop a peninsula overlooking Narragansett Bay in Bristol RI. What a spot!!!

Our massive iron chandeliers held court over the festivities - and we transformed the spaces with constantly changing light! From shades of Plum and Merlot to a romantic Amber glow for dinner and clubby moving lights foe intense dance sets - lighting was the finishing touch that made this event unforgettable!

Welcome to our BLOG!

2010-01-01T12:12:00.001-05:00

We're welcoming in 2010 with our new BLOG.

We hope that it inspires you when considering adding
the magic of lighting

to your wedding or special event!

This is the stunning ballroom of Newport's Rosecliff Mansion.

It's the largest one in town. The Great Gatsby was filmed here.

It's a simply amazing venue for a seaside wedding.....

Our vast inventory of LED lighting now makes illuminating this grand space possible.

Open to the public till 5:00, the quick turnaround for a party at 7:00 made the extensive cabling required for older fixtures near impossible.

Check out how it makes the architecture really shine - and this romantic first dance very special indeed!

Everything is wirelessly remote controlled letting us change the look and

ambience throughout the night. Soft and romantic when guests enter - and then we can kick it up for dancing!

Cocktails are served on the lawn around the fountain and the marble terrace.

Here the building is uplit for added drama!

Our Glo Balls line the stairs to the terrace. Even the lounge area is illuminated thanks to our lighted cocktail tables and bars. Even these can change color throughout the evening. It's all about surprises in making a great party unforgettable!

The bride and groom catch a dance on the terrace with our shimmery mirrored chandeliers above...

Wow!

Give us a call. We'd love to show you the many ways great lighting

can make your event World Class! The possibilities are endless...
