Stars and Northern Lights
Duluth Event Lighting designs immersive Northern Lights projection treatments that capture the magical, shifting aura of the North Woods and bring it directly inside regional reception halls. Drawing on extensive backgrounds in professional theater production, owner Ken P. and his team craft these North Shore-themed experiences by combining multi-toned up-lighting with dynamic, moving textures projected onto venue ceilings or walls. The company routinely implements this signature look across the Twin Ports—whether dancing across the grand ballroom ceiling at Greysolon Ballroom, filling the vast main hall at the Billings Park Civic Center alongside deep red accents, or transforming rustic spaces like the Buffalo House and Sacred Heart with rolling, layered washes of deep blue, teal, and magenta. While simpler standalone accent options start around $400, a fully customized aurora layout can scale up to $2,000 for elaborate treatments in massive venues, often pairing the rhythmic auroral flow with specialized tree limb gobos or floating star patterns to deliver an unforgettable, high-impact atmosphere.
