Who does luxury event lighting design from New England to Florida?
Ramar Event Productions is a veteran-owned event lighting design and production company covering Maine to Miami and the Caribbean. We design and install uplighting, chandelier and pendant programs, pin-spotting, gobo and monogram projection, festoon and bistro runs, architectural facade washes, dance-floor systems, and full stage lighting — including off-grid wireless fixtures for venues and tents with no power infrastructure. Design, fixtures, install, on-site operation, and strike all come from one team.
- Wireless off-grid uplighting for tents and venues without power
- Chandelier, pendant, and suspended fixture programs
- Gobo and custom monogram projection
- Pin-spotting for florals, cakes, and centerpieces
- Architectural and facade washes for exteriors
- Full stage, truss, and moving-light packages for stage programs
For Luxury Weddings and Private Celebrations
Lighting is the difference between a photographed room and a remembered one. It is also the least visible line on the budget doing the most work in every photo you keep.
Reception and Ambient Lighting Design
A full room program — uplighting, warm ambient wash, and dimmable control that shifts the room from dinner to dancing.
Includes design consultation, install, on-site operation, and strike
Chandeliers, Pendants, and Suspended Fixtures
Crystal, modern, and rustic chandelier programs hung in tents, barns, ballrooms, and historic venues.
Includes rigging survey, hang, and removal
Detail Lighting and Monogram Projection
Pin-spotting, gobo projection, and accent work that makes the details you paid for actually read at night.
Includes custom gobo artwork and focus session
For Corporate Events and Brand Programs
Corporate lighting has a job beyond atmosphere: get the brand color exactly right, keep executives lit for camera, and never distract from the message on the screen.
General Session and Stage Lighting
Key, fill, and back light for presenters, plus moving-light packages for reveals and energy moments.
Includes plot, programming, and a lighting operator on site
Brand Color and Environmental Wash
Exact brand color reproduced across the entire room, not approximated with the nearest preset.
Includes color matching against your brand guidelines
Architectural and Facade Lighting
Exterior building washes, entry treatments, and grounds lighting that begin the experience at arrival.
Includes site survey and power planning
For Venues, Estates, and Permanent Installations
If you host events every week, renting the same lighting every week is the expensive option. A permanent system pays for itself and raises what you can charge per event.
Permanent Venue Lighting Systems
Fixed, controllable lighting infrastructure designed for a room that hosts continuously.
Includes system design, install, and staff training
Permanent Chandelier and Fixture Installation
Statement fixtures installed permanently in barns, ballrooms, tents, and estate properties.

Off-Grid and Sustainable Lighting
Battery-powered wireless systems for tents, fields, and historic properties with no usable power.
Includes site power assessment and runtime planning

Event Lighting FAQ
Direct answers to what planners, couples, and corporate teams ask us most about lighting design.
What types of event lighting does Ramar Event Productions provide?
We provide uplighting, ambient and environmental wash, chandelier and pendant programs, pin-spotting, gobo and custom monogram projection, festoon and bistro runs, dance-floor systems, architectural and facade washes, stage and truss lighting with moving heads, and permanent venue installations. All of it is designed, installed, operated, and struck by our own team.
Can you light a tent or a venue with no power?
Yes. We run wireless, battery-powered fixtures with full-evening runtime and wireless DMX control, which is how we light tents, fields, barns, and historic properties that have no usable electrical infrastructure. It also removes generators and cable runs from guest pathways. Where a program does need power, we handle distribution as part of the same build.
How much does event lighting cost?
Investment scales with room size, fixture count, whether the program includes chandeliers or moving lights, and whether an operator is on site for the duration. A focused uplighting package sits in a very different tier from a full design with suspended fixtures and programmed cues. We scope each event and present tiered options so you can see exactly what changes between them.
Do you install chandeliers in tents and barns?
Regularly. Tent and barn chandelier installations require a rigging survey first, because the hang has to be engineered to the actual structure rather than assumed. We handle that survey, the rigging, the fixtures, integrated dimming, and removal. For historic properties we use non-invasive mounting that leaves no trace.
What is uplighting and how many fixtures does a room need?
Uplighting places fixtures along the perimeter of a room to wash the walls in color, which turns a flat venue into a defined space. Fixture count depends on wall length and how continuous you want the wash: a typical 150 to 200 guest ballroom usually lands between 20 and 40 fixtures. We calculate the count from your actual floor plan rather than a per-guest rule of thumb.
Can you match our exact brand or wedding colors?
Yes. Our fixtures are color-calibrated rather than set to the nearest preset, so we can hold a specific brand hex value or match a fabric swatch. For corporate programs we calibrate against your brand guidelines; for weddings we match to your palette, linens, and florals during the design phase.
Do you provide an on-site lighting operator?
For programs with scene changes, stage lighting, or moving fixtures, yes — a lighting operator runs the cues live. Simpler ambient and uplighting programs can be pre-programmed and left to run, with our crew returning for strike. We recommend the right level with your run of show in hand.
Do you offer permanent lighting installations for venues?
Yes. For venues, estates, and barns hosting events continuously, we design and install permanent systems with concealed fixtures, dimmer racks, DMX control, and preset scenes your staff can recall by name. It removes recurring rental cost and generally lets a venue command a higher per-event rate. Installation includes staff training and a maintenance program.
What regions do you cover for event lighting?
We light events from Vermont through Florida, covering New England, the New York metro area, the Hudson Valley, the Berkshires, the Mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, and Caribbean destinations. Our production facility is in Torrington, Connecticut, and we travel our own crew and inventory throughout that corridor.
How far in advance should lighting be booked?
Four to six months is comfortable for weddings and two to three months for corporate programs. Custom gobos, chandelier sourcing, and permanent installations need longer. During peak event season, dates fill well ahead, so earlier contact meaningfully improves availability.
How quickly do you respond to lighting inquiries?
We reply within 24 to 48 hours during peak event season. If your date is close, call or text 860-318-5557 to reach the team directly.
