Event Production Director and Lighting Specialist with 18 years of experience in theatrical rigging, audiovisual engineering, and venue transformation. Certified in event safety standards, he focuses on the technical infrastructure required for modern wedding designs.
Marcus Thorne is the technical authority on transforming empty spaces into immersive environments through light and structure. His background in concert and theater production allows him to demystify complex topics like power distribution (amps vs. volts), generator requirements, and safe overhead rigging for drapery and chandeliers. Marcus provides critical advice on "invisible" infrastructure—how to hide ugly venue walls, the necessity of uplighting on textured surfaces, and the physics of sound systems in outdoor settings. He writes for the couple who wants a spectacular production but needs to understand the safety regulations, electrical loads, and costs involved in bringing in heavy equipment. His goal is to prevent technical failures that can ruin the atmosphere.
