Blislight Vendor Spotlight

We are trying something NEW here at Blisslights. Over the past few years, we have connected with a lot of great people. Club owners, theme park designers and mobile entertainers alike have some things in common. They have a passion for entertaining, a desire to stand out from the croud and a love for the Blisslight. Even though we do a lot of diffrent kind of laser design, our flagship product and our name is for the wonderful projector that has revolutionised the laser community.

So we thought we would take time to ecknowlage some of the awesome people that believe in our product just as much as we do. Our first spotlight is on Joe Staniszewski, and his company JBS Entertainment. When I look at his pictures I can obviously see he has set a pretty high bar. Its more than just entertainment value, its also atmosphere. With Joes use of LED uplighting, gobo projectors and Blissdlights, he has certainly put him to the forfront of prefessional entertainers. Please take a moment and read some information Joe has provided, along with how he uses is Blisslight product.

JBS Entertainment has been entertaining guests at weddings and private events since 1996. Based in the Philadelphia suburbs, the owner & Entertainment Director Joe Staniszewski works with his wife, Heather, a certified & registered bridal consultant to bring a “Return to Elegance” to every event they perform at. While clients are requesting our mobile disc jockey services, the current addition of theatrical lighting effects adds more production value to any event. These effects include uplighting, dance floor washes, intelligent lighting, and the addition of the BlissLights laser star field effect.

It was in the summer of 2007, when Joe & Heather were attending the DJ Times Expo in Atlantic City, when they first learned of the star field laser effect. At first glance, there was an immediate WOW factor that neither of them had ever seen before with a laser. Atmospheric factors such as fog or haze weren’t needed & the result was incredible. During the following months, the idea of purchasing a unit was discussed, but it was now a question of “Where to buy one?” since the initial vendor was now unavailable. Just before their New Years Eve event, a single BlissLights Bliss 15 was ordered from our trusted friends Ben & Kat at NLFX Professional. The unit was used to transform an indoor ice skating rink at a private residence into a star-filled universe. The effect was well received to say the least.

Since making that initial investment, JBS Entertainment has purchased an additional two Bliss 15 units, bringing their total inventory to three pieces. As events were booked, and positive feedback was heard from satisfied clients, the idea of adding this to our light show was now shifted into the “must have” category when it was demonstrated to clients at initial bookings - this being done with the help of a BlissLights Laser Wand.

Incorporating this effect into our bridal show booth for the 2010 wedding season has brought potential brides & guests asking “How can I have that at my wedding?” At a recent event, a guest even went so far as to approach us, asking if he could purchase one of our Bliss 15s for his high school’s planetarium at the conclusion of the event! We were happy to see that this effect was so well received by clients, guests, and even the venue staff.

While one Bliss 15 may suffice for your event, we bring at least two. With the third piece, we have more options and flexibility. It can be used for a larger room, or to transform an additional area, away from the dance floor.

JBS Entertainment sees this lighting effect as a certain way to infuse additional elegance, with a more theatrical style of lighting vs. the traditional mirror ball or strobe light. We will certainly recommend the BlissLights line of laser and lighting effects to anyone who asks us about them & look forward to seeing the new products that they are developing.

Custom Bliss

Finding your custom Bliss is what this blog is all about. Now you may be asking "what is a custom Bliss"? Well its quite simple. Blisslights as a company does make some very cool lighting effects. We have also revolutionized the way people see lasers and have a new found appreciation for the very unique art form. Once our clients start using Blisslights they start thinking about different ways to present the effects. We get lots of questions like, "can the laser be a another color"? Or "can you change the color of cloud"?

Well I would like to say ANYTHING is possible and it totally is. We can create a custom laser product for any application. Some designs might cost more than others. It all depends on exactly what your looking to do. And if your thinking about it, then please give us a call. Blisslights would be more than happy to work with you to create your own "custom Bliss". We in house create all our products so we stand by the "Made In The US" motto.

"The Fiddler" (as he calls himself) has performed with our product a couple times now and we are thrilled. Alex and I have had conversations and he has said nothing but positive things about the product. That totally brings a smile to my face when a person of his calibur gives us a complimint. Its all worth it! :) If you have the chance, I highly recomend watching this guys stuff on Youtobe. He is AMAZING!
