For the last three years we have had the honor of DJing this incredible event at Valparaiso Nazarene Church. Every year is such a blast! Take a look at some photos from this year's event and videos below to get a better idea of what to expect at Night to Shine.

At Amplified Events we pride ourselves on creating the perfect atmosphere for you and your guests. Uplighting offers a great way to customize the look and feel of your wedding venue. Basically, Uplighting is lighting a wall, object or ceiling from the ground up. The results can be dramatic. As you can see by some our examples below, Uplighting can enhance the color scheme and ambiance of the entire room. Here are some other great reasons to have Uplighting at your wedding or event:
It's Customizable
The color scheme of each light can be customized to match your wedding colors. You can pick one solid color or shade or alternate between a few.
It's Easily Arranged
Lights are positioned around the room, dance floor, or even outside to help add warmth, depth, a splash of color through out the entire space.
Provides Ambiance
Sometimes, couples prefer a cooler temperature or look, while others desire a warmer feel. Uplighting has become the most affordable and impactful way to enhance any wedding space. Our high powered LED lights will transform your room from standard to stunning.
Adds a"wow" Factor
Uplighting adds an accent to already beautiful room and will help to create depth and drama with light.

Vinyl Service
At Amplified Events we are passionate about music being played in it's purest form.
At Amplified Events we are passionate about music being played in its purest form. There’s nothing quite like listening to your favorite artists perform their hit songs in the way they were meant to be heard... on vinyl. You can almost hear the history of the music in those subtle cracks and pops and the hiss when the needle hits the record. There's just something undeniably cool about the whole experience. With our Dinner or Cocktail hour on Vinyl service, you can experience these same sounds at your wedding.
Typically, our DJ's will play a customized playlist for your dinner music or cocktail hour completely digitally using MP3's. With our Cocktail Hour or Dinner on Vinyl Service our DJ’s will bring a vinyl record player and play three of your favorite albums through our sound system.
Leading up to the big day, you’ll have the opportunity to select three to six of your favorite albums that you want played during the cocktail hour and / or dinner portion of your reception. We will purchase these albums and do a little presentation before the Vinyl Service begins about which albums you chose and why you chose them.
This service add on is a great way to personalize the night and make your reception more unique...more like you.

Instagram and other photo social sharing platforms are huge trend in the wedding industry right now. Many couples are looking for something fun and interactive that their guests can enjoy through out the night.
In the past, couples were stuck choosing Photo booths as their only option for entertaining their guests. While this can provide a great way for your guests to enjoy the night, we have always found that it takes people away from your dance floor. That's why we started offering Hashtag Printing.
Hashtag Printing is our modernized version of a photo booth without the booth. It works by turning your guests' smart phones into photo booth camera.
Features
Instant Prints
Hashtag Printing can automatically print all photos for this hashtag, or if you wish, guests can select the photos they like and print them out.
Social Media Sharing
The photos print instantly and can be picked up at any time throughout the night. This means more time for them to party with you throughout the evening! Plus, if you have guests that are unable attend, you can share your hashtag with them so they can follow the entire event on social media.
Instagram + Twitter hashtags
Pick a unique hashtag for your event and our HashPrinter will display all photos by anyone with that hashtag.
Easy to Use
Our Hashtag Printer utilizes two the main things your guests are already familiar with: Social Media and their camera phone making it incredibly easy to use.
