The Main Room at The Liberty Warehouse
THE MAIN ROOM:
FAIRY / ICICLE LIGHTS
- Fairy / Icicle Lights are currently the most requested form of lighting at The Liberty Warehouse. This style of lighting looks amazing at this venue. Furthermore, it is a great choice to enhance the main room.
STRING LIGHTS IN ZIGZAGGING PATTERN

Therefore, it is a great choice to enhance the main room. As a result, this arrangement of string lights visually supplies “more bang for fewer bucks.”
UP-LIGHTING AGAINST WALLS AND COLUMNS
- Consider placing Warm White Up-Lights along the perimeter walls of the main room. Additionally at the base of the center columns. Our company is a huge fan of up-lighting at most venues, and this venue is no exception. Therefore, we strongly support using Warm White Up-Lights along the perimeter walls and center columns of the main room. As a result, Up-lights greatly enhance the space by providing an accent light against the walls and columns
LARGE HANGING FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS
- Highlight a sizeable hanging floral arrangement with a spotlight. Hanging floral arrangements are almost always a conversation piece. Therefore, any sizeable floral arrangement should be highlighted with additional lighting to remain visible after dark. Fortunately, there are better options than the in-house lights included with the venue for illuminating hanging florals. Therefore, consider including spotlights provided by our company to highlight any large-scale hanging floral arrangements. Alternatively, at a minimum, consider hanging string lights with your sizeable floral arrangement to ensure they remain visible after dark.
LARGE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS (set on the bar)
- Sizeable floral arrangements are always a conversation piece. Therefore, consider providing a spotlight for them to ensure they remain visible after the sun has gone down. Thus, highlight any sizeable standing floral arrangements or sizeable florals on display on the main bar in the rear section of the venue. Similarly, highlight any sizeable florals that are on display on tables.
BAND MEMBERS
- Seeing the members of a band is a crucial part of their performance. Therefore, consider providing a spotlight to highlight their performance area. Therefore, members of your band will remain seen after sunset. Additionally, their movements and facial expressions are visible. As a result, your wedding at The Liberty Warehouse will benefit significantly from additional lighting for your band.
- Furthermore, you can also consider using a set of color-changing lights to highlight your band members. Usually, dimmable warm-white lights are appropriate. As an alternative, you can consider color-changing lights for your band as an upgrade from warm-white lights. However, a person must operate a controller to change the colors during the band’s performance.
THE BAR
- The main bar at The Liberty Warehouse is a celebrity in popularity. As a result, the main bar usually becomes a gathering place where guests exchange conversations and laughs while waiting to receive their drinks. Nevertheless, you can consider spotlighting the main bar with a set of spotlights, but this is optional at The Liberty Warehouse. Typically, the in-house lights at The Liberty Warehouse provide sufficient light for the main bar.
THE CEREMONY
- During the fall and winter months, sunset will arrive early in the day. Therefore, your ceremony area may appear dark. As a result, viewing your ceremony and the quality of your wedding photos may be affected. For this reason, highlighting your wedding ceremony at The Liberty Warehouse with additional lighting is usually essential during these months. Hence, adding additional lighting will ensure your ceremony remains visible at sunset.
PINSPOT YOUR TABLE CENTERPIECES
