Ain't no party like Lodge dance party, because a Lodge dance party.....comes with over 100 light fixtures coordinated to the music to blow your guests' minds....oh, and it don't stop! The Lodge Skaneateles

Last week we created the staging & lighting design for SU Men's & Women's Lacrosse teams. Here's a little taste from the creative media team.

It's rare for wedding clients to go all in on custom glass Gobos. The cool thing with glass is that they work in outdoor projectors like the one used here. So rain, snow or a beautiful night like last night..they look pretty stellar.

Sharing some Orange Spirit from a recording we did Monday at the Dome.

Finally back to work at SU....only now instead of sound alone, it's sound and multicam live streaming. Rock & Roll!

Photos from an event our sister company Sensational Events did a few weeks ago in Skaneateles. It was the grand entrance to a party on Oscars Night. The drone shots are courtesy of Matt Champlin. He is a licensed drone pilot for hire should you require professional drone footage.

The search lights were ADJ Hydro X2s. They are outdoor rated beam moving heads, and they got the job DONE! Should you be in the market for such lighting, Sensational Events is a reseller.

On Monday my lighting work gave me a front row seat to the announcement by Donald Newhouse that he and the Newhouse Foundation are pledging $75,000,000 to the school. Awesome news for the University. Go 🍊!

One nice thing about being part redneck and part AV nerd is that I can combine tractoring and heavy old power amps and speakers to get some music in my warehouse. Now I have bumpin' tunes in my work area. This is also why you should NEVER sell old gear!

I've got a great helper running the sound board at the chapel this morning!

Just came across an image one of my team members sent from Orange Central. I always see Otto in the photo strips, I don't usually get this perspective.

Early morning setup for the SU football team creative media shoot

07/20/2019

All prepped for my wedding today at Owera, so I thought I'd take a minute to post my favorite photos that took at Sean & Lauren's wedding a few weeks ago at the . I've had the pleasure of working with Kelsey twice in the past few weeks. @ The Lodge at Welch Allyn

06/11/2019

Getting ready for a video shoot at Manley Field House. I'm sure the actual shoot will be top secret until SU Athletics releases it...so a little load in and setup is all I can share today. @ Manley Field House

It's 'CUSE Awards time. I'm running the fancy pants lights, and CJ is assisting with the video controls over at Newhouse.

The view from our tech table at last night's LEAD Summit dinner at the Working with the Events staff from SU and the Marriott was great as always.

My little window to the stage for the Mikey Day show at LeMoyne. Just about to bring out the opening act.

01/18/2019

High Energy dance lighting for a LeMoyne dance in the Fingerlakes Ballroom at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. The open grid ceiling in this room allows for a lot of creative options when it comes to lighting. At this event it allowed us to easily hang mirror balls over the dance floor. At other events we've been able to conceal stage lighting, use pin spots on tables, and we've even installed lighting above the grid to light the grid itself.

A short lighting testimonial from Michael & Christa. They had their wedding at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown in 2018. Visa Versa provided DJ Entertainment & Decor Lighting. The flroal arrangements shown were made by Whistlestop Florist Inc.

01/16/2019

These are sample floral arrangements created by Backyard Garden Florist for an open house at the Syracuse Downtown. We were displaying decor lighting & DJ Entertainment in the Grand Ballroom, I swung down and grabbed these shots for Nino Gagliano in the Persian Terrace.

During the first day of practice we setup this lighting scene on court 2 for the creative media shoot. While we worked on setup the team scrimmaged and practiced on the court next to us. I had help from Jason Alvaro, who didn't hesitate to offer his assistance for this particular job. It was a great experience, and we're very grateful to do so much work with Syracuse Athletics and Syracuse University.

At the Marriott Syracuse Downtown open house we shared the Grand Ballroom with Elizabeths Chair Cover Rentals and Frank Brice. This video shows the sample centerpieces that Frank Brice made for the event.

Grand Ballroom featuring our uplighting with centerpieces available from Elizabeth's Chair Cover Rentals

09/22/2018

We aren't allowed to post video or pix of the players before SU does....so here's walk on Jason Alvaro....I believe he may have already been cut. Lots of great stuff to come later

Getting ready to setup lighting for the SU Men's Basketball Creative Media Shoot.

09/08/2018

All setup and ready for the Dave Coulier show tonight. Flown speakers and fancy pants lighting all dangling from a 42' Truss

08/14/2018

All setup for another testimonial shoot with a happy Hotel Syracuse & Visa Versa Client. Mike & Christa will be debuting on our Instagram page soon! (As well as Dave & Julia and Paul & Gerard)

07/17/2018

We had a blast working for Michael & Christa at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown on Saturday. It's always great to get reviews that let you know the feeling was mutual. Cheers!

Brian was fantastic to work with. When my wife first approached me with the cost of the DJ, I thought it was sort of pricey. My wife then informed me that it was a fair price because $800 of the cost was for uplighting, to which I replied "what the...

WIth all the wedding posts, it's easy to forget the Visa Versa Entertainment works with a variety of clients on a range of production work. Here's a behind the scenes look at the video shoot for the SU Football Program. We created a backdrop of pulsing orange lighting to surround the players.

A follow up to my previous post showing the business side of the Lodge booth. We tried to incorporate everything a couple getting married there would ever need. Four wireless mics, separate audio feeds for videographers, and all sorts of other gadgety shenanigans. @ The Lodge at Welch Allyn

07/06/2018

I just love it when a plan comes together. CJ and I brought the new booth to the Lodge today. Loaded the subwoofers into it, and it's now here to stay. A complete control and command center for all sound and lighting at the Lodge, that blends into the room and wheels away when not in use. 😁 @ The Lodge at Welch Allyn

The Death Star is nearly operational...

07/02/2018

It was great to be a part of this celebration.

Today we captured a beautiful love story! Congratulations Shawn and Tiffany. There was not a dry eye in the house after that beautiful dance!
Thank you Jocelyn for this awesome shot!

Getting ready to kill it at Lauren @ Bryan's wedding .

06/16/2018

At the beginning of the week I was hoping this would be ready for Lauren & Bryan's wedding at tomorrow, but it turns out all this wood working and finishing takes a long ass time. It's getting there

06/12/2018

Congratulations to Matt & Samantha, who had an epic party in the Marriott Syracuse Downtown Grand Ballroom last Friday. While you can barely see any of the equipment or light fixtures after it's all setup, you get a sense of how much goes into it when you see the lineup of cases brought up to the 10th floor. I'll post a couple of videos shortly - stay tuned!

03/14/2018

Congratulations Dan & Nicole.
