Ways to Transform the Room
Color-matched LED accent lighting around your venue. Ten wireless LED fixtures wash the walls in the color you choose.
Your initials in light across the dance floor or a wall, in focus in every photo of the floor.
White sparks that rise without heat, flame or smoke, set off only after your venue says yes. Most couples save them for the grand entrance or the final song. Two fixtures $595, another spark moment $200.
Lit marquee letters that spell your names or a short word, priced per letter with a four-letter minimum. Guests queue for the photo.
A hundred foam glow sticks, saved for the moment the dance floor peaks. The whole floor lights up at once.
A full karaoke rig, lyrics on screen and two wireless mics for the late-night crowd.
Shades of Uplighting
Twelve shades to choose from. Tell us your palette and we match it before guests arrive.
Aubrey Johnston is Toast's Photo Booths and Luxury Enhancements Director. She directs both teams, so every effect is planned by one person and run on one timeline. She sets the standards Toast crews work to: match the uplighting to your palette, place every fixture before guests arrive, and fire each effect on the cue your DJ calls. When you book Toast enhancements in New Orleans, Aubrey plans the setup and directs the crew that runs it.
Meet AubreyToast also covers New Orleans DJ and MC, photography, videography, and photo booths. Add one enhancement or the full set to any Toast booking.
From Inquiry to Wedding Day
Send us your date and venue. We confirm the date is open and send a quote.
Choose from the menu above, one effect or the full set.
During planning we lock in colors, monogram art, spark approval from the venue and each cue.
Our crew sets up before guests arrive, fires each effect on cue, and packs out.
If a crew member has an emergency, another Toast crew member is sent to your event. You are booking a company with a team, not a single freelancer.
New Orleans Venues We Work With
Greater New Orleans and Northshore venues Toast has worked:
Lighting a New Orleans venue
Felicity, the 1888 Gothic Revival church, has the height for uplighting to climb the walls and pick out the architecture.
Il Mercato is a 1931 Spanish Colonial market restored with herringbone floors and Italianate chandeliers. A warm uplight tone works with the chandeliers instead of competing with them.
Riverview Room fills the fourth floor of the Jackson Brewery Millhouse, with five terraces facing the Mississippi. Keep the effects on the indoor floor and let the river view carry the terraces.
Courtyards get hot and humid, so confirm with the venue which effects can run outdoors.
