Proposal

Tunxis can charge a premium for events and elevate its brand perception through the expansion of its outdoor area into The Enchanted Forest.

Every bride wants a wedding tailor made for her. At Tunxis, this is what we provide. From a completely customizable experiential dance environment, to a thematically lit enchanted forest, no two weddings will ever be alike. Immerse yourself in the forest and explore into the evening. Whether it be our magic firepit or responsive luminous ceiling!

Our wedding experience is broken down into three zones – the indoor dancing/ceremony area, the enchanted forest, and the after-dinner firepit. This is the order and flow of most weddings but can be customized based on your requirements. 

The indoor dancing area has two distinctive lighting elements that define the space, the primary being an overhead luminous ceiling made of a low-resolution LED panel with integrated motion sensors that allow standardized images to react to the movement of dancers beneath them. The secondary, supporting, element is the traditional AV equipment that is integrated with the ceiling to provide a consistent lighting experience. 

The enchanted forest is like other outdoor lighting experiences but differs in two key ways – it is reactive and utilizes different lighting styles to create distinct zones. The reactive nature is key to the wedding experience and allows the bride and groom to act as guides when ushering the guests into the outdoors after the event. The pathway, lined with LED strips integrated landscaped into the edges of the path, light up when the couple are in proximity and create a chain reaction, setting off other lighting zones within the forest. The distinct zones then add depth the experience, but providing some visual variety to guests as they enjoy a post-ceremony/dance stroll. These zones are created through glass tubes with LED lighting stuck in the ground which create a “grass like” feel, sections of trees lit bottom-up with LED spot lights and other sections of trees that lit top-down with led strips that create a cascading effect.

Finally, to ensure the experience allows for exploration and is not simply a path that guests should follow, we activated the firepit, an informal gathering place at the end of our events. We did this by setting up proximity activated wall washers on the trees around the area that amplify the effects of the visual impact of a fire.
Wow! What an experience!
