217 | Talk about Event Lighting & Design with Jeannie Savage & Curt Stahl

3/29/2024
Who REALLY Drives Event Lighting Design? Planners vs Lighting Techs Hey friends! I recently had the pleasure of chatting with veteran event planner Jeannie Savage and lighting design expert Curt Stahl about the importance of lighting in event planning. Jeannie shared some great stories about the lighting mishaps she has learned from over her 18 years in the industry. I think we can all relate to those "haunting" mistakes from early on in our careers! Curt emphasized that while knowing lighting equipment names can be helpful, the most important thing is communicating your vision - what feeling and atmosphere do you want to achieve? We covered lighting design trends, using lighting to direct attention and transform spaces, budget considerations, and collaborating with photographers to get the best event photos. I asked them point blank - who drives the lighting design? The answers were insightful. The key takeaways? Lighting is crucial for events but can feel overwhelming. Lean on lighting pros, communicate the desired emotion and atmosphere, adjust lighting for photographers, and invest in a knowledgeable lighting tech onsite. Let me know in the comments - what lighting questions do you still have? Or share your biggest lighting flub story to reassure the rest of us! Looking forward to continuing the conversation.

12/22/2023
Do you feel like you need a reset after this past year? I get it - 2023 was a wild ride for me too. In this week's episode of Talk with Renee Dalo, I share my best tips for resting, reflecting, and resetting during the holiday season so you start 2024 feeling refreshed. In a truly hot take, I suggest putting goal-setting on hold and instead using December to recharge through meditation, journaling, gentle walks in nature, and even *gasp* doing nothing. I know, the overachiever in us hates that idea! But rushing into ambitious New Years plans without slowing down first often backfires. January is soon enough to dream big dreams for the year ahead. To help with that, inside my "Better" membership we devote the entire month to intentional, thoughtful goal-setting and vision boarding. Then we check in monthly so you stay on track through 2024! The point is that hurriedly forcing goals right now may not serve your future self. So be "selfish" and make time for self-care this season! You deserve this gift. Wishing you rest and renewal during the remainder of 2023, my friend! For more information about Better with Renee Dalo, click here. To download a free meditation for Better Rest, click here.
