THEATRE LIGHTING STAGE HANDS: How do I light my wedding with reception?
I found another yahoo answers post that said that I could use par can lights with gels to up-light a wedding reception, but I'm wondering if that will make the uplight look like seen here: http://www.djcraig.net/uplighting.html
Also, how would I accomplish pin spot lighting like this:

With the same lights? I'm completely not a lighting person and have no experience, but I have the perfect site that craves lighting, and I can't afford to hire a company to do it. And it seems kinda simple once I figure out what I need. Let me know if this is over my head.
No offense at all, but pretty theatrical for a reception. I do have to wonder however, Where in a general sense the reception is being held, and if or not any hall/venue would totally approve?
The uplighting just looks like Pars upside down, and the wee spots on the floor, could be accomplished with some kind of string or chase lights. Beyond that, the minis should not be spots or floods, but more like vanity lights,,, BUT,,,
In any case there may be liability issues to deal with. For one thing the connectors for usual theater pars are not your standard toaster cord with a three prong plug. They also get HOT, and for use on a floor, I'd want to NOT have them near drapes or people.
I might be more inclined to use some kind of regular 110 can, with mini spots.
I'd still have to ask the venue at the very least, for approval, even a VFW hall. The effect also depends largely on other lighting being OFF or dim at least. That might work for any after meal time alotted, but even then to keep the rest of the room dark, for a theatrical effect, and have someone stumble over a floor, uplight, could be problematic, AND finally we have no image of YOUR reception location.
Certainly the images you offer are very nicely staged, and likely very well monitored by someone at some level of staff and experience. I'd probably investigate the possibilities in securing permission, finding the proper lighting as can be powered, and in any budget manner, this won't be as expensive as hiring a company, but it won't be a bargain either.
Added thought. Actually it would behoove a lighting company or wedding reception company, or an inventive novice to MAKE a tripod leg appliance with a can faced UP, and use Mini Floods, and @ 110 V.
