Weddings
The moment everyone is looking the same way.
The first dance with the room lit around it. The last song with every guest in it. No wristbands to buy, no sparklers to light, nothing to clear up afterwards — just the phones people are already holding.
Moments it is built for
Three songs, really.
The first dance
Set it low. The room holds one warm colour that breathes with the song and lifts at the chorus — enough that the floor is lit and the photographs have something in them, never enough to compete with the couple.
When the party starts
The track everyone was waiting for, at a level that actually moves: the room building, going quiet for a beat, and landing together on the drop.
The last song
Everyone in a circle, every phone in it. It is the photograph people put up the next morning.
The question on the way in
"Bride or groom?" earns its keep twice.
People enjoy answering it
It is the question guests are already asking each other at the bar. Asking it on the join screen makes the whole thing feel like part of the day rather than a piece of technology someone bolted on.
And it becomes the show
Two groups means two sides of the room that can answer each other — one side, then the other, then everyone together on the chorus. Tell Wildlights the two sides actually sit on two sides and the movement follows the real room.
Or ask something else
Which table you are on. Whether you are dancing. How you know the couple. Anything with a few answers works, and anything you just want to know the answer to can be asked without changing the show at all.
Or ask nothing
Plenty of weddings are better as one room acting as one. Leave the question out and everybody moves together.
For whoever is actually running it
The DJ does not have to do anything.
Wildlights does not need to be the thing playing the music. If the DJ or the band is playing the first dance — and they usually are — the host phone can listen through its microphone, work out where in the song the room is, and line every phone up with it. Nobody has to hand over a cable, a cue or a playlist.
- Set it up weeks early Build the show, watch it back, save it. Nothing is live until you show someone the code.
- Print the code once One QR on the table cards, the order of service, or a frame at the door.
- Hand it to anyone The control link is just a link. The best man, the planner, the DJ, whoever is nearest.
- Think about flashing At a wedding the gentlest setting is often exactly right: one flash a second at most, a slow wash of colour. The settings, explained →
Build the first dance and watch it back.
It takes a few minutes, and it is free while Wildlights is in beta.
