- Smooth color mixing with the ability to get just about any shade of any color you like
- Real time color changes/fades for every single light

- Installation, and a lighting tech to stay for the duration of your event
We've had our lighting in just about every venue in the DC/Baltimore area, and we're experts at recommending the perfect package to match your vision and budget. Discounts available when combined with other lighting, DJ services, or photo booth.
Bistro Lights and String Lights
One of the most popular trends is the addition of bistro lighting, since it adds that shabby chic feel so many clients want to create at their reception. We have many different styles of lighting to choose from, and all packages include two lighting specialists to install and break down. From backyard parties to barns, hotel courtyards to galleries, adding bistro lighting to your package is guaranteed to wow all of your guests! Features include:
- Incandescent light bulbs (we prefer the look over LED bistro light bulbs)
- A bistro light bulb every foot for G40 size
- A light bulb every two and a half feet for edison size
- Dimmer packs to control brightness of the lighting
- Pipe/bases sandbagged and draped for venues that do not have rigging points for the bistro or string lighting
Gobo Lights, Logo Lighting, and Wash Lighting
Fill empty space on the wall, jazz up your dance floor, make your bar a centerpiece with a wash, showcase your logo, or project your monogram...it's all possible with our high end Source Four lighting and Optoma projectors. We will work with you to customize your gobo light and truly bring your vision to life at your event with amazing lighting enhancements. We think these pics speak for themselves!

We hired Dan Goldman for heat lamps, string lights, and uplighting for our fall wedding at the Meridian House in DC. They did a phenomenal job and the booking process was so smooth! All the guests commented on how cozy and beautiful the Linden Grove felt (even on a cool evening), and making both the indoor and outdoor spaces inviting in November was in large part thanks to Dan Goldman! Highly recommend!

Dan and his team provided bistro string lighting and portico column uplighting for our September wedding at the DAR. He was a pleasure to work with, both professional and responsive. The lighting created just the ambience we were looking for.

Beautiful lights, ceremony music & easy to work with!
We loved working with Dan and team on the lighting for our wedding at Meridian House! We also worked with him on string music for our ceremony and cocktail hour and everything was perfect! Dan was always very responsive and had competitive pricing - highly recommend! Thank you, Dan!

Dan was so, so helpful with our wedding lighting in the midst of a pandemic. We had to change reception venues one month out, and didn't finalize the new lighting (tent or no tent? bistro or not?) until the week of. Dan rolled with the punches and made sure to keep checking in. When he wasn't wholly satisfied with the original lighting he strung up, even though it looked great to us!, he redid it completely. As a result, our reception was stunning, well-lit without being too dim or too bright at night, which allowed our wedding photos to come out perfectly. I don't know if other lighting vendors would have been so accommodating with our last-minute changes!

DJ Dan was highly recommended for lighting at Eastern Market. While we originally had hoped to string some basic string lights ourselves, we realized the logistics were just too complicated. DJ Dan has provided lighting services for numerous events at Eastern Market so was very knowledgeable of the space, electrical setup, and setup/take down procedures. We would definitely recommend DJ Dan for lighting at Eastern Market.

Gorgeous Bistro Lighting
Dan Goldman Events provided bistro lighting for my wedding at the International Spy Museum and it was absolutely gorgeous. The contract signing process was super easy, the staff responded to all my emails and concerns almost instantaneously, and most importantly, the space looked transformed after they hung the lights. Thank you for delivering my dream space!

Everyone at Dan Goldman Events is also super helpful and nice - we used the lighting services from this vendor as well and our bistro lighting and uplighting both turned out beautifully. Highly recommend this vendor!

We also used DJ Dan Goldman's Bistro Lighting and Photobooth. The lighting was beautiful and we even ended up with a few more strings inside than we thought we were getting - it was perfect.

We hired Dan Goldman Events for our wedding (lighting and DJ) and we were blown away by how amazing they were. DJ Brennan was excellent from start to finish. Before the wedding, he did a really nice job communicating what he needed from us and he helped us flesh out what we were looking for in the ceremony and reception. He was incredibly responsive with communications. Because he knew the venue so well, he was able to point out and solve a few issues before they became headaches. Once the wedding came around, Brennan perfectly MC’d the night - he transitioned well between events, kept us on schedule, yet avoided making it feel to “production-y”. The dance portion of the night is where Brennan truly shined. The dance floor was packed the entire night. He seamlessly weaved in our favorite songs and always found the best next song to play. Weeks later, we’re still getting texts from our friends about how amazing he did. Highly recommend!
We also got outdoor bistro lights and indoor up-lighting from Dan Goldman. It completely pulled together our venue and made the night even more magically.
