Blue Steel Lighting Design

This company transformed my wedding, it was so pretty and I got so many compliments from everyone. They are a little pricey, but well worth it. They are very easy to work with and the whole staff is professional and very nice.

From day 1 when I met with Blue Steel, they were so nice, so creative, and so easy to work with. I clearly had no experience with lighting, no idea where to start, and this crew just took what little I did have input on, and ran with it. They came all the way to Snowshoe, WV for me. They completely changed the look of the room. It looked 10 times better then what we started with, and I cannot explain how thankful I am. I totally recommend this company over and over again. They did a spectacular job, and were worth every penny!

BLUE STEEL is the REAL DEAL when it comes to lighting and making your event very unique. Lighting is not cheap, but if you are trying to throw a special event be it office or personal and you want that added touch, this is definitely the way to go. Jeremy, the owner, is so knowledgabe and very personable and there is not probably any situation that he hasn't been in that he will know how to work the magic for your event within your budget. I'm not kidding. For my daughter's wedding, he went that extra mile just to create a certain effect that otherwise would have missed out and we would not have had the effect he ultimately achieved. They are a joy to work with and are VERY GOOD!!!

Loved them! They were awesome to work with, completely went above and beyond, and included numerous things that I hadn't been able to afford! I was stunned by how professional, patient and organized they were! I would definitely recommend Blue Steel to anyone, they were fabulous!

Words cannot say enough, they did an AWESOME job. Totally made a huge difference with the venue and atmosphere!! Very responsive to all our needs/wants. When we showed up at the reception, there were lights everywhere that looked awesome, but the best part....you couldn't see ANY cords!!!! Perfect clean look!!!

I would recommend them 100x over!! If you are looking for lighting and you don't go with Blue Steel, you are well... you know.....They are TOTALLY worth every penny!!

Blue Steel went BEYOND "ABOVE & BEYOND" for our wedding!!! If there is ONE facet you dont want to OMIT its the lighting!! It completely transforms the entire FEEL and ambiance and BEAUTY of your wedding!!! You will NOT find a more professional or truly caring lighting crew!!!! THEY "MADE" my wedding!!!! The people who worked our wedding asked if our wedding was thee MOST expensive wedding theyd ever thrown...BLUE STEEL was WHY!!!!!

Blue Steel Lighting Design is a must to have at any venue you chose to be married. My daughter got married on August 26, 2011 at the Chrysler Museum of Art, and BSLD turned a beautiful room into the most elegant, breathtaking room that you can imagine. What a WOW factor they created with their talent. It is something you would have to see to believe that the difference lights can have on a room. AMAZING! Jasmine Whitbeck Virginia Beach

After our original wedding in North Carolina was cancelled by Hurricane Irene, Blue Steel Lighting was willing and ready to put together a lighting package for us at the Westin Richmond on incredibly short notice (24 hours!). Our reception was so gorgeous and they couldn't have been nicer in helping us out!~ Thank you Blue Steel Lighting!!

AMAZING! I can't say enough about these guys and their services! I really did not think that lighting would change my venue as much as it did but my photographer and wedding planner encouraged us to pursue this and highly recommended Blue Steel. We were wowed by them when we went to meet with them but my husband and I were both floored when we walked into our venue and saw how they had transformed it. Beautiful and unbelievable!! I would highly recommend Blue Steel and their services to anyone! It truly makes a huge difference not only in your photos but also in the ambiance of your space!

I used Blue Steel for lighting during the reception. Well worth it! They were so great to work with and they changed the reception area from conference drab to wedding gorgeous. Highly recommend making this investment.

Blue Steel Lighting is THE premier lighting design company! They are very professional and subject matter experts in lighting. Every detail is considered and no request is too small. For my daughter's wedding reception, Blue Steel took a beautiful ballroom with great architectural features and made it POP! The uplighting on the walls accented the features of the room, the spot lights on the table floral arrangements brought out their elegance and beauty, the light color changes coordinated with the music and enhanced the ambience. I can't say enought wonderful things about this company. They did it all and the end product was absolutely AWESOME. Thank you so much Blue Steel for making my daughter's wedding reception a huge success. People are still talking about the lighting!!!!

Blue Steel provided amazing lighting during our wedding reception at The Westin on May 28, 2011. The ballroom was transformed into a sexy, elegant and classy atmosphere, and showed our personalities throughout the night. From the moment the wedding party was introduced, to the first dance, dinner, etc., each aspect of the wedding was perfectly featured. The logo displayed on the dance floor and the different shades of pink on the walls matched our theme. The blue lighting that was used during the mother/son dance was touching. The pinspots on the guests’ tables made a difference and everyone noticed. The lighting allowed our centerpieces, cake table and sweetheart table glow. My mom will not stop talking about the lights, as she has never seen a reception like ours. We, along with all our guests, loved the lighting. THANK YOU!

Lighting definitely makes all the difference! We had so many compliments on our reception because of the beautiful lighting that accented our color throughout the ballroom. The spotlight monogram was beautiful as well!

Blue Steel did a beautiful job on the lighting for our wedding. The photos of work they had done was one of things that sold us on our venue - The Chrysler Museum of Art. Their flexibility, professionalism, and responsiveness was 100%. I would definately recommend them!

I would HIGHLY recommend BLUE STEEL lighting design!!! They created a beautiful , intimate LOUNGE area for my wedding reception!! They also provided Lighting for the event and it was FANTASTIC!!!
Very NICE people to work with!!!

Speciality Lighting was not part of our initial budget. We didn't think it was important and were not sure what the lighting would add. We met with Rachel who was so kind and showed us everything Blue Steel had to offer. We loved everything and decided to have the speciality lighting. I'm so happy we did too because at our venue the only option for lighting is all flourscent lights on or off. Not the feel we were going for. There were lights on each table arrangement and on the cake too. The lights added such a romantic feel to the reception and showcased each flower arrangement and the beautiful cake. We are so happy to have Blue Steel as part of our day. Thank y'all so much for making everything perfect!

Let me tell you; lighting makes a world of difference. I recommend at least talking with the staff at Blue Steel to see what they can offer; you'll be amazed at what they can do and glad you did afterwards. The staff is beyond nice and very professional.

Blue Steel took our venue, Chrysler Museum of Art, to two different ends of the "emotional spectrum". Lighting for our ceremony was warm and inviting; then to a fun, party mood for our reception. Lighting really did help to create the atmosphere and mood my wife wanted for her big day. I'm not one to offer accolades if it's not warranted...for our night, Blue Steel did magnificently!

Thank you for the wonderful job you all did on Tara and Jimmy's wedding! I had no idea what a difference professional lighting could make but when I walked into the Pocahotas Room at the Cavalier it became immediately apparent that we made the right decision in hiring you. The uplighting really helped to set the mood throughout the entire evening, from "it's time to eat and chat" to "it's time to party!". The effect became even more apparent when we got the wedding photos back. Wow! The colors were so beautiful. I wasn't anticipating the part you would play in helping my other vendors shine, either, but everything became better with your lighting! Palette of Petals did such beautiful arrangements, but with the pin spots you could really see every detail from the color shading to the sparkling jewels tucked into the flowers. The wedding cake became a real focal point in the room thanks to the way you highlighted it. Without your help, these elements of the wedding would have had much less impact. Thank you, also, for your professionalism. You were all so easy to work with and willing to explain each step of the process. You really helped to make the wedding be exactly what we were looking for!

From the time we walked in to the day of our wedding the staff especially Rachel was with us every step of the way. I very rarely these days see customer service at 100%. Well the blue steel lighting gives 120%. Rachel was very caring and was with us with all our lighting needs. My fiance and I were a little worried about spending a lot just for some lights. But when we met with rachel and saw what blue steel had to offer us we were so impressed that instead of getting the lighting package that was just a few lights. We went for the whole nine yards. Let me just tell you that when the wedding day arrived I was highly impressed. The place looked amazing and the lighting guys that day were right on. They matched the colors perfectly to the wedding theme without even having to tell them. I cant begin to thank Rachel and the staff of Blue Steel lighting for making our day just that much more amazing and wonderful. I would say if you are wondering if you need lighting for your wedding and not sure if it's right for your day go talk with rachel from blue steel and see just how amazing they can make your venue look with the lights. I am telling you that you won't be disappointed. Once again to Rachel and the entire staff at Blue Steel thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day beautiful and amazing.

Sincerely,
Afton and Tony Markun

The lighting and effects made not only the ceremony, but the reception perfect. It was the attention to detail and their creativity that tied everything together.

Blue Steel was amazing to work with not to mention they really set the tone of our wedding. The uplighting made all the difference in the world. I wanted a soft romantic room and that is what they gave me. I would truly recommend putting Blue Steel in your wedding budget! I am still getting raves about how the lighting made such a differnece.

Blue Steel Lighting provided exceptional lighting for my daughter's wedding ceremony/reception! They were professional from start to finish - prompt, willing, understanding, knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly. I will use them again, and I urge you to contact them for services for your special event.

This is a wonderful company!!!! The lighting for my wedding was absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted! Everyone I spoke with was helpful and prompt to respond. I honestly could not have been more satisfied. Well worth the cost and would recommend highly!

YOU PROVIDED THE ATMOSPHERE THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I ONLY THOUGHT POSSIBLE IN FAIRYTALES!!!!!!

Blue Steel MADE my wedding!!!!! You will be soooooo blown away by what they can offer you!!!! Professional, fun and an all around GREAT company!

Jeremy and his staff at Blue Steel Lighting Design first and foremost were so attentive. They showed us their showroom and the different lighting techniques and colors. Jeremy's lighting will make any room POP! The lighting brings the whole room decor together. If you have not thought of lighting, please do. Ambience is everything at your reception or even at an intimate Anniversary Party. I learned a new word"GOBO" which is a disc that is made to reflect your name, initials, or design on the wall or dance floor. My guests just couldn't stop talking about that. Blue Steel made my event so special. Thanks Jeremy and a special Thanks to Rachel.You are the BEST IN THE BEACH!

I cannot say enough about Blue Steel Lighting/Stage Right Lighting. Everyone went above and beyond all of my expectations. The event looked beautiful and the lighting really set the mood. Jeremy and Rachel really came through with the lighting design and Rachel blew me away by how helpful she was with things that were not even related to what her company was there to do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lighting company as they are the absolute BEST!

Personal and professional service. Outstanding!

Blue Steel Lighting Design did all of the lighting for our wedding. They had pin spots on every table, a Gobo with our names on the dance floor, a gorgeous gobo of decorative design on the walls and the uplighting around the entire room. They did an amazing job. My husband and I had one sit down meeting with the company, and they knew exactly what we wanted. It was completely stress free and I did not worry if they would do a great job. Walking into our ballroom was a moment we will never forget. Thank you Blue Steel!!

Blue Steel Lighting did an amazing job! The lighting for our reception was perfect! Even the guests were commenting on how great the lighting was in the room! Blue Steel also did a beautiful pin light on our wedding cake and it made the cake totally pop in the room! If you are looking to have an elegant affair for your wedding or event, then I would totally recommend Blue Steel. It was worth every penny!

Blue Steel Lighting would be my go to for lighting any event on the Southside. I was thrilled with the level of service! Jeremy was so much fun to work with and very dedicated to making our wedding look amazing and unique. Blue Steel went above and beyond to make the lighting for our wedding personalized to our theme. They made custom gobo lights of our wedding artwork. Pin spotting our center pieces and wedding cake made them pop. Guests of our wedding can't get over how wonderful everything looked and the special lighting made our pictures look AMAZING!!! We can't thank Blue Steel enough!!!

THEY MADE A FEW CHANGES WITHOUT DISCUSSING WITH ME. I HAD EXPECTED SPOTLIGHTING FOR THE FATHER/DAUGHTER DANCE AND THEIR ENTRANCE INTO THE RECEPTION VENUE BUT THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS DELIGHTFUL. VERY PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO BRIDES EVERYWHERE.

Made my reception look like a million dollars!!! It was affordable too!

Blue Steel Lighting was absolutely on top of every detail. We asked for spotlights & lighting to coordinate with the music during our first dance and that went off without a hitch. The lighting, which took our already beautiful venue, transformed the space into new levels of magnificence, radiance, and partying! The lighting definitely set the mood for all who had the pleasure of being engulfed by the ever changing lights that night... Ultimate perfection. This company is the best at what they do, without question!

The Garden Cafe at the Norfolk Botanical Garden does not have outdoor lighting, so I hired Jeremy and his team to light the evening. Wow, was it amazing! Blue Steel Lighting definitely set a perfect mood for my reception. When they were done, the outside courtyard of the cafe looked like a dream. Everything was so elegant (the exact opposite of me), I almost cried. It was beautiful. All the lights were so simple and perfect. I loved it... His assistants were there for the evening, but no one noticed them. They were professional and courteous to those they spoke with. I never realized how important lighting is, but now that I know this, I would definitely tell anyone who can afford it do treat yourself to the beauty it provides.

I would highly recommend Blue Steel Lighting Design to every couple planning a wedding. We LOVED the lighting job they did for our reception and it totally transformed our location into an even more beautiful and spectular place. All of our pictures were amazing and I wouldn't have done it any other way. Jeremy and his crew were professional, courteous, and easy to work with. If you have any doubts about having extra lighting at your event, make an appointment to see them in their offices so you can see their magic first hand. You will not be disappointed!

Jeremy is an awesome person. He has made my wedding the most beautiful I can ever imagine. I truly highly recommend this vendor to all the future bride out there.

Before the wedding, I worried that I was blowing all this money on custom lighting, but it was SO worth it, and I'm so glad I used Blue Steel! I had my reception at the Cavalier Hotel, and while the ballroom would have been fine without pinspotting, the dramatic effect the pinspots had on each table, the cake, and the candy bar was AWESOME. The lighting gave the room the kind of elegant ambience I had been envisioning. It is a lot of money, yes, but if you're going to throw a big wedding, you might as well go all the way. The lighting was one of those things that just added to the beauty of the ballroom!

It's really expensive - but totally worth it. The Chrysler Museum of Art needs very little to make a reception there beautiful - but lighting makes it so much more so! Jeremy and team did a great job. It makes such a difference with the centerpieces and pictures.

Jeremy and his team are awesome. I could not have been happier with his services. You would be surprised at what a difference lighting makes. It transforms the room and creates a beautiful atmosphere. It takes the decor to the next level. Lighting kicks your reception up a notch. I would recommend their services to anyone hosting a special event.

Working with the Blue Steel team is always a pleasure. They are incredible to plan with . As an event designer and planner I take my linen swatches, floral ideas and my own ideas and we work together to create the perfect wedding for our brides. You know you have created the memory when your clients go "wow"...this is incredible!!!!

These guys do a fabulous job on events and customizing the celebration space for clients! They are a pleasure to work with, our brides love them, and they are extremely reliable. If you want amazing event lighting in Virginia, these are the guys to call! :)

Love love love the look of a great party with specialty lighting. It makes the event so unforgettable which is what we are all about! Love your work, Jeremy!

I highly recommend this wedding professional to future brides!

Blue Steel ALWAYS does an amazing job! If you're looking for lighting, Blue Steel is the way to go! The staff makes sure your event is everything you've always imagined, and the proof is in the pictures. Perfect for weddings!

Best lighting company in the area - their services add so much to the ambience of any wedding reception.

The only lighting company that we endorse and will ever use. The best combination a business can have, owners who care about their business, and execute flawless events. Very proud to endorse this company.

Heard super things about this company can't wait to get to work with them.

Jeremy and the team at Blue Steel lighting are fabulous and both creative and professional. Many Pure English Couture Brides have used their services for their weddings and have been thrilled with both the excellent level of service and the amazing lighting effects.

Incredible lighting, Incredible team, Incredible Experience. I would highly recommend them for any special occasion!

Pro lighting and great folks to work with!

Great work...great staff!

Blue Steel Lighting is a photographer's dream, they make the event magical!

Beautiful lighting adds an exciting element to photographs in otherwise plain surroundings. These guys do wonderful work! Highly recommended.

Jeremy and his crew are amazing! I am always happy when one of our Brides has hired him to do his lighting magic. It is always a total transformation when we come into a event! You would do your event a disservice if you didn't hire Blue Steel!

Very Professional. Beautiful lighting design. I wish they did lighting at all of my weddings. I highly recommend their services.

As a musician who provides primarily ceremony and cocktail reception music, I rarely get to see the reception area but if I know that Jeremy is doing the lighting, I make a point to look in because I am always amazed by how much really creative lighting can transform a space.
