Music and lighting can set the tone for your catered event. The music should be appropriate for the occasion, whether it’s upbeat or more quiet and relaxed. Lighting should be appropriate for your needs as well—you might need bright lights if you’re having a party in an outdoor garden, but you may want to dim things down at dinner so that guests can enjoy good conversation over candles. Music can help make an event memorable; if there’s live music, even better! The right lighting can also enhance memories of a particular evening by making people feel comfortable or adding another element to their experience.
