DeckBeam for Wedding & Event DJs

A laser-style light show for the dance floor — without the rig, the rental, or the venue's laser paperwork.

The problem

Real lasers mean paperwork most venues won't sign off on

Couples ask for "that laser look" more than they ask for uplighting, but an actual laser rig means a Class 3B/4 device, a venue variance, proof of insurance, and often a certified operator — a lot of overhead for one reception. Skip the laser and you're back to a flat projector image that doesn't read as a light show at all.

The trick

A projector and a little haze does the same job

DeckBeam runs from your iPhone or iPad and drives the venue's own projector — plug in over HDMI, or send it wirelessly with AirPlay. With a small haze machine running, its beam patterns cut through the air exactly like a real laser rig. There's no laser diode involved, so none of the Class 3B/4 rules, venue variances, or certified-operator requirements that apply to an actual laser rig come into play — always confirm with the venue directly, but you're bringing a projector, not a laser.

Tip: Separately from laser rules, some venues restrict haze or fog machines because they can trigger smoke detectors — confirm the venue's haze policy the same way you'd confirm anything else on your gear list. DeckBeam's patterns still display normally without haze, just as a projected visual rather than beams in the room.

Dual output

Your controls stay private, the guests just see the show

Your phone shows the pattern list, live preview, and settings — the external display only ever shows the full-screen visual. Adjust patterns from your hand without anything but the light show ever appearing on the venue's screen.

Custom branding

Drop in the couple's monogram or event logo

Import a monogram, logo, or animated GIF as a custom pattern and DeckBeam drives it the same way it drives the built-ins — reacting to the beat during cocktail hour or between sets on the dance floor.

Cocktail hour

Run a subtle, slow-reacting pattern or a couple's monogram on the lobby screen while guests arrive.

Dance floor peak

Switch to Auto rotation once the floor fills up, and let DeckBeam cycle through built-in patterns reacting to every kick and snare.

Reliability

No Wi-Fi, no accounts, nothing to fail mid-reception

Venue Wi-Fi is often unreliable or locked down. DeckBeam doesn't need it — beat detection and rendering run entirely on-device, so a spotty venue network never takes down your visuals mid-set.

Tip: Test your HDMI adapter with the specific venue's projector or TV input ahead of the event — cable runs and adapter compatibility are the most common last-minute surprise, not the app.
