How can wedding lighting be checked for harsh glare or flashing effects?

Direct answer
Review the actual lighting setup with the operator and avoid effects that create unacceptable glare, disorientation or access problems.
Check guest seating, walkways, the stage and any flashing sequences before arrival. Tell guests about planned effects and provide a practical way to avoid them or request a change. Do not treat a bright promotional video as proof of a comfortable room. Emergency routes and essential lighting must remain usable independently of decorative effects, with competent staff responsible for adjustments.
