Describe the party lighting atmosphere you want
Lighting inspiration becomes easier to discuss when the ideas are connected to your actual room. Start with the part of the evening you are planning and describe the atmosphere you would like there. Fables can review those preferences alongside the available equipment, venue requirements and existing DJ setup. A small, annotated selection often explains more than a large collection of photographs without comments.
Describe the dancing period
Describe the room’s uses and the intended energy during the dancing period. Explain whether the space is mainly for dancing or also contains dining and quieter seating. Identify any change in use during the evening. This gives the supplier a practical context for the requested mood instead of a colour preference detached from the event.
Annotate the inspiration
Group inspiration images by colour, movement and intensity of effect, marking what is only illustrative. Write a short caption beside each selected image explaining the detail you mean. Separate the colour you like from equipment or decoration that happens to appear in the photograph. Treat images as a way to communicate preferences while availability and the actual arrangement are checked.
Record preferences and exclusions
List preferred and unwanted effects using the published options as discussion points. Fables describes colour washes, rotating effects, strobes, lasers and music-synchronised lighting in the published offer. Ask which effects form part of the proposed arrangement. Make any effects you do not want explicit so they are considered alongside the positive styling requests.
Locate the look in the room
Connect the brief to the actual dance area and existing lighting. Mark the dancing area, DJ or band and nearby seating on a plan. Explain what the venue already provides in those areas. The supplier needs that setting to discuss which requests can be met, rather than inferring the room from an inspiration image.
Send a clear mood brief
Produce an annotated mood brief for supplier confirmation without claiming every pictured effect is available. Use a short priority list and distinguish essential requests from ideas you would simply like discussed. Ask the proposed operator and Fables to confirm the arrangement. Keep any unanswered request provisional until its availability and suitability have been reviewed for the booked event.

Questions about this worksheet
Does an inspiration photograph confirm an effect is available?
Use the photograph to identify the part you like, then ask Fables which actual equipment and effects are proposed for your date. A reference image communicates a preference; it does not establish the included hire arrangement.
Should we mention effects we dislike?
Yes. An explicit avoid-list helps the supplier and operator understand the intended experience. Share it with the venue alongside positive requests, and confirm the final proposed arrangement rather than assuming everyone interprets the same mood words identically.
