A Bay Area Wedding Moving Heads on Totems Lighting Package
This Bay Area wedding lighting package adds a pair of intelligent moving head lights on totem stands to your reception, creating dynamic programmable beams that sweep, pulse, and rotate across the dance floor through the night. Delivered across Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon, Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, San Jose, Marin, and the Wine Country. Built for couples who want a club-style dance floor lighting design that responds to the DJ's energy through the reception.
What Is Included
Two intelligent moving head lights mounted on professional totem stands positioned at the corners or sides of the dance floor. Programming of the moving head sequences to match the reception flow - softer, slower patterns for cocktails and dinner, then dynamic sweeping patterns and color shifts as the dance floor opens. Optional selection of a custom gobo to project a pattern, monogram, or graphic from each moving head. Setup, breakdown, and on-night operation by a professional operator. All commercial-grade lighting equipment compatible with standard venue power.
What a Moving Head Does
An intelligent moving head is a programmable light fixture with motorized tilt and pan axes plus an internal color wheel, dimmer, gobo wheel, and pattern controls. Unlike a static uplight or a strobe, a moving head changes position, color, and pattern in real time. The two-head pair sweep across the dance floor in coordinated patterns - beams crossing in the center, alternating colors, isolating the dance floor with white spots during the first dance, then opening into full club-style patterns when the open dance floor moment begins.
Gobo Selection
Each moving head can carry a custom gobo pattern projected onto the dance floor or the ceiling. Common gobo choices include florals, geometric patterns, scrollwork, hearts, the couple's monogram, or a brand mark for corporate events. Gobo selection is confirmed during the planning meeting and produced or selected from the in-house library before the wedding date.
When This Add-On Fits
This is the right add-on for couples who want a real dance floor lighting design rather than just the venue's house lighting plus a DJ booth wash. Effective for receptions of one hundred guests or more where the dance floor energy needs to build through the night. Pricing reflects the base pair of moving heads on totems; additional fixtures and custom programming are available at upgrade pricing.

Travel within a standard East Bay radius is included; further-out events carry a transparent mileage fee quoted up front. Peninsula and San Francisco events please inquire for adjusted pricing. Bookings start with an inquiry through the EIM platform with your date, venue, and approximate guest count. A short reply confirms availability and outlines what is included for your tier. Once a date is held, a signed agreement and deposit secure the booking. A planning questionnaire follows so any specific song requests, music genres, monogram designs, color preferences, or cultural touches are correct on the day.
Cancellation + Date Changes
One date change is accommodated subject to availability without an additional fee; subsequent moves carry an administrative fee. Cancellations within thirty days of the event forfeit the booked amount. Bookings are confirmed by signed agreement and deposit.
