Washington DC Wedding Lighting and Enhancements That Transform the Room
Washington DC Wedding Lighting and Enhancements
Uplighting sets the color of the room. A monogram puts your names on the dance floor. Cold sparks and a low cloud turn a first dance into the photo everyone shares. Toast is a Knot Hall of Fame company, and the same team that runs your Washington DC DJ or photo booth runs your enhancements, so every effect fires on cue and nothing is left to a stranger.
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.
Indoor-safe cold spark fountains for one magic moment. No heat, fire, or smoke. Venue approval required. A wall of white sparks behind your grand entrance, first dance, or last dance. Two fixtures $795, four $1,195, extra display $200.
A low-lying fog effect that turns your first dance into pure cinema. Dry ice fog stays at the floor and clears before it reaches your guests.
An interactive video experience for your guests. A big screen for surprise videos, family slideshows, and a message from anyone who could not travel.
A hundred foam glow sticks, saved for the moment the dance floor peaks. The whole floor lights up at once.
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 Washington DC, Aubrey plans the setup and directs the crew that runs it.
Meet AubreyToast also covers Washington DC DJ and MC, photography, videography, and photo booths. Book two or more services to save $100 or more and choose a complimentary Combo Perk.

Toast Lighting and Enhancement Reviews
"We hired Toast Entertainment for DJ, photographer and uplighting services. Everything was perfect. The DJ has everyone on the dance floor having a blast and kept the night's activities running smoothly, the photographers were accomodating and I instantly felt comfortable around them, and the uplighting color was exactly what we requested. Toast helped to make our special night so wonderful and stress free."
"We used Toast's DJ and monogram services, and everything turned out perfectly. We had DJ Mike Riley. He was there when we arrived, stayed on top of the schedule, kept the night moving along, and was very professional. The website Toast uses is very straightforward and easy to use. The pricing is also straightforward and affordable. I highly recommend both Toast Entertainment and DJ Mike Riley."
"From the audio system at our outdoor ceremony sight to the very cool uplighting and excellent sound quality of our indoor reception we could not have been happier."
