Event lighting for event venues and wedding halls
Professional lighting concepts for atmosphere, technology and standards
The lighting of an event location or wedding hall has a decisive influence on the first impression, the quality of the stay and the economic success of a location. Professional event lighting is much more than decorative lighting – it combines emotion, technology and safety to create a holistic lighting concept. Kent Leuchten develops tailor-made lighting solutions for event locations, wedding halls, banquet rooms and multifunctional event spaces. From prestigious chandeliers and DMX-controllable lighting systems to standard-compliant lighting for kitchens and functional areas.
Why professional event lighting is crucial
Today, event venues must meet many requirements simultaneously:
flexible use (weddings, galas, parties, corporate events)
perfect lighting conditions for photos and videos
reliable technology for shows and effects
compliance with European DIN standards
A well-thought-out lighting concept not only enhances the atmosphere, but also:
the booking rate
the length of time guests stay
the value of the entire location
Representative lighting in the main hall
Custom-made chandeliers & special designs
Large event and wedding halls require lighting solutions that combine scale, elegance and technical reliability. Standard lighting quickly reaches its limits here.
Our solution:
Custom-made chandeliers
Adaptation to ceiling height, room size and design concept
High-quality crystals (e.g. Asfour quality)
Static calculations for heavy constructions
The result is a central lighting element with maximum effect – without glare or uneven light distribution.
Layered lighting – light on three levels
Modern event lighting works with several layers of light:
Ambient lighting
Dimmable LED panels or downlights
Uniform illumination CRI > 90 for natural colours
Accent lighting
LED spotlights to highlight columns, stages, buffets or cakes
Targeted lighting for structure and depth
Indirect lighting
Cove and ceiling lighting
Optical enlargement of the room
Pleasant, glare-free atmosphere
