Uplighting is the placement of lights at the base of architectural details or points of interest, typically around the perimeter of space to draw attention to those details. Uplighting has the power to completely transform a room with the click of a button. It creates depth to the room and sets the atmosphere while also highlighting details you want to be seen and distracting from those you don’t. Placing LED uplighting sources on the ground level and pointing them up creates the ‘up lighting’.

DJ uplighting is perfect for parties and weddings because they can be run by the DJ meaning they can change the colors and patterns, and change to match the speed or energy of each and every song. It enhances the party goers' experience and it usually isn’t insanely expensive. Most DJs will have their own set up which can either be free or an additional charge depending on the DJ service.

A Certified Balloon Artist (CBA) is someone who is a member of a group of balloon professionals who successfully complete a series of tests, including an oral and practical exam. The certification is administered by the Qualatex Balloon Network (QBN). The certification program centers on a comprehensive approach to professional balloon practices and strives to set a common foundation of knowledge and a starting point for communication. The testing focuses on skills and techniques, understanding of design theories, business skills, safety, and ethics. Most people hear balloon artists and go right to clowns and balloon animals, but there is so much more. For the practical exam, which lasts about four hours, balloon artists are being scored on their ability and technique on completing multiple different tasks like creating bouquets, table centerpieces, garlands, temporary and permanent knots, even interviews, and mock sales calls.
