Know which lighting design leads are worth consultation time
Tell us whether the event is indoor, outdoor, or both, which lighting elements they're picturing, and whether the venue allows outside lighting vendors — then upload venue photos so your team can scope the installation before booking a consultation.
The exact intake your lighting design leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Lighting Design — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified lighting design lead should tell you
Planning and installation of decorative and functional lighting for an event — uplighting, string lights, fixtures, stage or dance floor lighting, and projections — scoped against the venue's setting and any restrictions on outside vendors.
- Event Lighting Design
- Event Take Place Indoors,
- Soon Event Date
- Venue Allow Outside Lighting
- Lighting Elements Interested In
- Person Responsible Approving Decor
The questions your team needs answered
Every lighting design intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of event needs lighting design? | Event type determines the design scope and quoting approach — a corporate fundraiser has different lighting needs and budget expectations than a wedding. |
| Will the event take place indoors, outdoors, or both? | Indoor, outdoor, or both changes equipment needs, weatherproofing, and power planning before a site visit is worth scheduling. |
| How soon is your event date? | This carries the heaviest weight in the catalog, so leads with a near-term date surface first for teams working limited installation slots. |
| Does the venue allow outside lighting vendors and equipment? | Venue vendor policy directly affects feasibility — a 'not allowed' answer means the job can't proceed as described regardless of budget or timeline. |
| What lighting elements are you interested in? | Knowing which lighting elements interest the couple or planner lets your team price and prep for the consultation instead of starting from scratch. |
| Are you the person responsible for approving decor and vendor decisions? | Confirming decision-making authority avoids booking a consultation with someone who still needs sign-off from the actual couple or client. |

Built for lighting design workflows
| Cliont capability | Lighting Design application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Under-one-month event dates and confirmed venue vendor access carry the highest weights in this catalog, so time-sensitive, feasible jobs rank above distant or restricted ones automatically. |
| Multi-select capture | The lighting-elements question captures uplighting, string lights, fixtures, dance floor lighting, and projections in one pass, so your team walks into the consultation already knowing the scope. |
| Decision-maker flag | The yes/no question on decor and vendor approval authority is weighted lower for 'no,' so planner-submitted leads without confirmed authority get flagged before a consultation is booked. |
| Venue-permission logic | The outside-vendor question feeds directly into the CRM record, letting your team spot 'not allowed' or 'some restrictions' venues before quoting installation work. |
Common lighting design lead scenarios
Wedding couple planning far out
Event date is over six months away and the couple confirms the venue allows outside lighting vendors — the intake flags this as a real project to nurture rather than chase immediately.
Venue with restricted vendor access
A corporate planner selects 'some restrictions apply' or 'not allowed' for outside lighting vendors, which surfaces a feasibility issue your team can clear up before quoting installation.
Last-minute private party
An event under one month out carries the highest date-urgency weight in the catalog, so it surfaces above longer-lead-time enquiries even before you open the lead.
Planner submitting without approval
The submitter answers no to being the person who approves decor and vendor decisions, a lower-weighted signal that flags the lead for a confirmation step before scheduling time.
Outdoor wedding, permissions unclear
The couple marks the venue's vendor policy as 'not sure,' which the intake treats differently from a confirmed yes — worth a quick check before committing a design consultation.

Lighting Design lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle venues that restrict outside lighting vendors?
The catalog asks directly whether the venue allows outside lighting vendors and equipment, with answers ranging from fully allowed to not allowed. That answer is weighted into the lead score so restricted or uncertain venues don't get the same priority as confirmed-open ones.
Can I tell how soon an event is happening before I respond?
Yes — the event-timing question carries the heaviest weighting in this catalog, from under one month down to no date set yet, so near-term events surface higher without you having to read every submission first.
What happens if a wedding planner submits the enquiry instead of the couple?
The intake asks whether the submitter is the person who approves decor and vendor decisions. A 'no' answer carries a lower weight than 'yes,' which flags the lead for a quick confirmation step rather than treating it as a booked decision-maker.
Does the intake capture which lighting elements they actually want?
It asks a multi-select question covering uplighting, string or fairy lights, chandeliers or fixtures, stage or dance floor lighting, and projections or monograms, plus a 'not sure yet' option for couples still deciding.
Can I tell if the event is indoor, outdoor, or both before I schedule a visit?
The catalog asks this directly, and combined with the required venue photos, your team can get a sense of the space and any weather-dependent setup needs before booking a site visit.
Does this intake work for corporate events, not just weddings?
Yes — the first question asks what type of event needs lighting design, with options covering weddings, corporate events, private parties, and nonprofit fundraisers, so the same intake routes every event type into your CRM correctly labeled.
