Amazing service. We had to change our wedding plans with 3 weeks to go due to the floods in York. Our previous venue didnt require lighting whereas the new one did. The service was second to none, installation was brilliant and the end product was exactly what we wanted. The take down to arranged with the venue leaving us carefree. This could not have gone any smoother AND with such little notice
Wedding Venue Lighting were brilliant from booking right through to our wedding day. Nothing was too much trouble, they were very organised and responded to me quickly. The room was set up a lot earlier than expected and looked amazing.
The speed of communication was fantastic the professional manner was superb and the quality of work was praised by many of our guests at Hazelwood Castle!
We had a true fairy tale wedding thanks to Matt and his team. The lights were magical and created the perfect atmosphere from day to night. We would have no problem in recommending this service to others. Thank you very much for all your hard work and helping make our day so special.
The lighting was recommended to us by the team at the venue and we were so glad - it made a fantastic space completely magical.
Everything was perfect & on time. Looked stunning all set up, no complainted they did an amazing job just how i wanted everything!
Communication was very easy and the website was easy to navigate and to see what was available & for how much. First phonecall resulted in ensuring Matt knew exactly what we needed and it was all very easy. Emails exchanged to confirm order, easy payment options including bank transfer. Follow up just before the wedding without prompting to let us know all was well and follow up afterwards to thank us for using them & to wish us all the best. Excellent service, would definitely use them again
I first came across Wedding Venue Lighting at an open day at Waterton Park Hotel where I saw the starlight dance floor all set up. The staff were very friendly and helpful. When emailing Wedding Venue Lighting, they were very efficient in responding to me therefore making the booking process simple and stress free, something that every bride will be grateful of. The dance floor was a hit with so many of our guests
Absolutely cannot fault wedding venue lighting for everything they did to make our wedding amazing! From the beautiful starlight backdrop for our vows to all the uplighting, fab Mr and Mrs letters and stunning dance floor it was all incredible and perfectly placed! Fab service and so easy from start to finish
Really helped me decide what I needed for the venue and helped me create exactly what I wanted. I had a rainbow wedding so wasn't sure how to light the venue or what would look best. They gave me a range of options and helped me figure out what would work best."
The festoon lighting provided by Wedding Venue Lighting was the perfect finishing touch to our wedding reception. They were flexible with the installation time and communicated really well in the lead up to the day. It was a seamless transaction
Amazing company - do exactly as they say they will and in record time - will recommend to everyone we know
We hired the 4ft rustic LOVE light up sign. It was a fantastic product and looked perfect in our wedding venue next to the dance floor. We have got some gorgeous pictures with it.
Our wedding venue, Sandburn Hall, is a stunning building. Wedding Venue Lighting provided the most beautiful decorations to enhance every feature of the room. The fairy lights were positioned to give a delicate sparkle during the day & then an unexpectedly magical effect in the evening. The lanterns were hung expertly in our chosen colours and WVL also hung the bunting I had made myself. They were helpful & courteous at all times & provided a professional service throughout. Highly recommended
Wedding Venue Lighting supplied our dance floor and back drop at our wedding which looked stunning. Guests loved the sparkly dance floor particularly and many commented on it. It was certainly well used. We dealt with Matt who was very organised and replied to emails in a timely manner. He did a great job and could not have asked for a better service! Thank you
Absolutely fantastic service. Matt and his team were professional, friendly and very easy to work with. The venue looked brilliant, and so many of our guests told us how beautiful it looked. This service was first class, and very reasonably priced.
The best part of the lighting was the dance floor. We were given the choice of black or white and we chose black which made the floor stand out more. The string lighting outside was perfect, although with it being a winter wedding, not many people went outside, only the smokers, and there weren't many!
Value for money compared with other suppliers, everyone enjoyed the selfie mirror they hadn't seen one before. Delivered on time, collected on time and great staff on the selfie mirror
Matt was amazingly helpful peior tothe wedding, arrived on time at the venue to set up and collected the items promptly the next day. The white starlight backdrops and cake table surround turned the venue from a standard conference centre to a wedding venue and the black starlight backdrop and black illuminated dance floor looked amazing and drew many compliments from our guests
Lighting transformed the reception of the hall into the perfect room for the nights entertainment. The mood lighting outside the hall, made the night time photographs amazing. They were able to transform the whole ambience of the venue whilst we were enjoying our wedding breakfast
Matt was very prompt and professional throughout our communication for the booking and everything went smoothly on the day. The lighting looked wonderful, especially the twinkle backlighting during the evening reception and it was just as I had pictured

Fantastic service from start to finish. Originally booked large letters and then added to our order as we were so impressed at how easy and approachable the team were. Provided really helpful information about the additional item we booked. Nothing was too much trouble and the service was professional throughout.
Matt Butcher is thoroughly professional and made our wedding day extra special with his amazing venue dressing. Everything was just as promised, on time and of excellent quality.
I already knew what I wanted for the day so there was not much discussion from Wedding Venue Lighting. They did check and confirm things which was good and the room looked amazing once set up and everything was in the right place. Very helpful and friend and easy to talk to and replied in good time to questions and queries.
Kelly and Matt were patient and helpful with my enquiries and bookings Everything was delivered early and in perfect condition Matt returned to check everything was in order. He was very friendly and extremely helpful. By far the best vendor we had in every way.
Wedding Venue Lighting offer the bride & groom a unique range of fabulous wedding venue dressing items; which allows the bride & groom to put a personal touch to their wedding. It also makes it fun & different for guests, gives photographers props & gives wonderful everlasting pictures & memories.
Just a quick message to say thank you for supplying us with the back drop. It was beautiful.
Absolutely amazing LOVE sign which made our venue look amazing! They were there when they said they would be, value for money, great communication throughout and collected he next morning without any hassle at all.
Matt and his team are the most professional company I have dealt with while organising my wedding. His suggestions and advice were spot on! The dance floor and backdrop plus the up lighters in my venue made the room look beyond amazing, every guest said it was the best wedding they have been to and the dance floor was full all night. Matt even came to collect it at 2 am in the morning so the venue could be ready for 8am the next day to start setting up for lunch.
we knew we wanted fairy lights as it sets off the already beautiful room so well the lanterns finished off the look and wedding venue lighting were so helpful and quick at booking it all for us, they were confident with the venue and everything was put up and taken away without us even knowing. all our paperwork was posted to us which was great and if I had any questions they responded straight away, thank you for our perfect day everyone loved the decorations!!!
They were truly professional and demonstrated excellent customer service. I am going to recommend all my friends and family to use their service.
They made my wedding day truly memorable.
Excellent service. Polite, professional and efficient both via email and in person. They were so good that we barely noticed them arrive or return to pick up the items at the end of the night. Perfect backdrop for our wedding - transformed a dull and expressionless room into a magical wedding venue full of heart and warmth. We would definitely recommend them and hope that you award them with top billing! They deserve it
Thank you for your brilliant service with the dance floor and Mr and Mrs , you were in and out without a hitch and we didn't even get to see you . I would certainly recommend your company to anyone. Thanks again
So easy and stress free, they set up and left the next day with no hassle whatsoever, they responded quickly to emails and was so nice to have one part of the day that I didn't need to worry about. The result was brilliant as well, I was worried that with it being New Year's Eve that the room would look too bright with main lights but too dark without, so pretty fairy lights looked absolutely perfect, we were so pleased.
Excellent customer service and value for money. Matt is very friendly and easy to talk to and understood our needs.
Most amazing dance floor and I'm so glad they recommended black as it make the venue look amazing
Matt and the team at venue lighting did an amazing job in helping to make our wedding day amazing. They were easy to deal with and helpful with their advise and it made the whole process really easy. We were delighted with the lighting and the twilight backdrop and it truly made the room look amazing. They also provided our aisle runner at a very reduced price. The total cost was very reasonable and overall we were very happy with the end result!!!!
Choosing Wedding Venue Lighting as our main supplier of or lighting, decor and so much more, turned out to be the best decision we made during the entire planning of our wedding. The modern LED dance floor stood out as simply amazing. The selfie photo mirror took high quality photos and was such a unique attraction for our guests, they simply couldn't get enough of it! All of the work was carried out to the highest standard and all of the staff truly went the extra mile to make our day perfect
We used the Wedding Venue Lighting as it was exactly what we were after. We had planned to buy our own fairy lights and decorate the barn by ourselves as well as add our own Chinese multi-coloured lanterns on it, but we didn't realise how difficult it would have been to achieve the look we were after without having the tall ladder/equipment. When we saw the lights already installed at a wedding the weekend before ours we had made the decision to use them as it looked fantastic!
Everything was so professional; the service, delivery, set up was all fantastic! We couldn't have imagined our day being anymore beautiful with the lighting and dancefloor. 100% recommendations from us!
Very straightforward no hassle called booked n delivered no stress for me or worrying responded to my emails within 24 hours, very professional
The speed of communication was fantastic, the professional manner was superb and the quality of the work was praised by many of our guests! 10/10!!!!
Wedding Venue Lighting were incredibly helpful and easy to deal with. It ensured that there was no added stress knowing that the lighting we wanted was in good hands!
The venue looked amazing. The uplighters matched perfectly. The curtain twinkling backdrop looked first class and the dance floor was exactly what I wanted. The team fitted everything without a hitch and they were helpful every step of the way advising and assisting with different ideas. The lighting added the finishing touches to our room and it looked magical.
Great supplier with a quality dance floor. We even got a free postbox thrown in for all our guests cards on the day !!
Wedding venue lighting has been great in following instructions and provide great and professional support to our wedding.
To Matt
A little note to say a hugh thankyou for organising and arranging our bespoke gobo projection for our wedding on 16 September.
It was amazing and is something we have as as a keep sake forever.
The whole team were so accomadating and professional. We originally booked festoon lighting and large letters but our venue contacted us to say they will provide fairy lighting. When we contacted to the wedding lighting company to say we didn't need the festoon they were really helpful letting us select another option making our day sparkle even more. The large letters were the better than another's I've seen at wedding fairs and surpassed our expectations.
Absolutely outstanding service from Matt at Wedding Venue Lighting. Overcame obstacles on site, to achieve our vision. Very prompt delivery and installation service and was happy to work around other suppliers also dressing the venue. On time the next day to take down the lighting. Matt was recommended by a friend who also used his lighting and I would highly recommend him to anyone dressing their own venue. The quality and colour of light was perfect.
Really good guys, excellent service especially at last minute (we left it to the last minute) and had a panic on but Matt and the guys were great
The venue looked breathtaking, and they were really flexible with me even though I'd bought way to many decorations! I explained what I wanted, and came back later to the picture I'd had in my head!
Excellent quality and punctual. When I had a query they were always there to answer. Would use in the future.
From the beginning to the end communication was fantastic. Even at the wedding fairs we met staff who knew what we needed. Set up at the venue was on time, in fact earlier than expected so this took all the stress out of the dressing of the venue. We even got some last minute lighting on the day as there was lighting from a previous wedding already set up! Fantastic people and products that made our day one to remember
Matt and the team were extremely helpful, having approached him with my vision rather than asking for exacts he took what I was asking for and created exactly what I was hoping for on the day. We had the illuminated letters (T&N) as well as coloured up-lighters for the room, he was keen to ensure the effect was his priority and not just me spending as much money as possible with them, so much so that he requested a lower number of up-lighters due to room size etc. It was perfect
Matt and his team did an amazing job with our wedding venue lighting, starlight back drop and aisle runner. They were all friendly and efficient and very helpful and very reasonably priced. We would recommend them to anyone as we were so impressed!!!!
By using the services and products of Wedding Venue lighting, it gave our venue a definite wow factor. It looked absolutely stunning and I was so pleased with how it looked. I was slightly worried if it would look how I envisioned it, but I had nothing to worry about. Thankyou for making our great venue into a fairytale venue."
Hi Matt

I would definitely recommend this company to people getting married in and around where they are located.
Excellent price and service. Arrived on time and set up quickly and efficiently. The LOVE letters were much admired on the big day and the other lighting options were equally wonderful.
We used WVL for our wedding day at Denton Hall in Ilkley, Yorkshire in September 2016. They provided an excellent service both in quality of dance floor and uplighters provided along with the delivery and installation service, delivered ontime and installed in good time to suprise all our guests following the wedding breakfast. They were exactly what we had wished for making our evening function absolutely perfect. A great service with great products, I would certainly recommend them to any future function or event. Thanks WVL, you certainly played your part in making our wedding fantastic.
Staff were lovely. We hired the dance floor and photo booth and it looked great in our venue. The photo mirror was a big hit with all our guests. And the staff were amazing xxx
Matt was fantastic. They came early and spent hours putting drapes around our reception room to turn it from a golf club into a beautiful wedding room. They even came back before our evening reception to take down a curtain to make it bigger for our evening do

Matt and his team were absolutely fantastic. The service they provided was amazing, the quality of the dance floor, star light curtain, fame effects and up lighters were top class.

We wanted to add some sparkle to our wedding day so was so happy to see Matt at Wedding Venue Lighting had a fairy lit wedding arch and a star lit dance floor. It was everything we were looking for. So we made contact and the smooth and easy process ran from there to the wedding. Matt was helpful and quick to reply to emails. I couldn't recommend Wedding Venue Lighting services highly enough. Thank you for adding the sparkle to our wedding.
Matt and the team at wedding venue lighting were absolutely amazing. Each to reach and get hold off, answered all my questions and queries with ease up to the run up of our big day. Stayed in contact with us about the equipment we hired, reassured us during the time from booking to our wedding. The love letters and uplights really made a difference to our reception. It made it pop, every guest complimented on them, they're really amazing. Can't compliment them enough

We used Wedding Venue Lighting to help decorate Millennium Gallery for our wedding ceremony and reception. The hanging lanterns they offer were available in a extensive range of colours that enabled us to pick a combination that would suit our colour scheme and bring the white space if the gallery to life. We were so pleased with the lighting supplied and the effect it created in our venue - we had numerous compliments about this. Communication from them was excellent - highly recommended!
They made my wedding truly amazing and made the room look breathtakingly beautiful!
Great company to deal with customer service is excellent, they made my wedding venue look amazing would defiantly book them again.
Very very impressed with wedding venue lighting, my reception room looked amazing!! All the guests loved it! Communication was brilliant. There was nothing that I wasn't happy with.
Matt was very helpful in changing our order when needed and had some useful suggestions for us. The finished product was beyond our expectations and really wowed our guests. They ended up creating a canopy of lanterns over the alter which really enhanced the look of the venue and made the ceremony area stand out. The set up and take down of the products was efficient and friendly. They were excellent and I would highly recommend them to any future couples
Absolutely brilliant service from beginning to end! Very professional, arrived on time and put the lights up with no fuss!
Absolutely fantastic company, product were top quality and better than item images could display, nothing but compliments on how good the venue looked, even the staff at venue said it was the best they'd ever seen. Blown away with just how excellent and seem less to service was, nothing was too much trouble for them.
Matt was absolutely fantastic with bit advice and communication. He was really good with making any changes even at short notice. Highly recommended and a great price.
Everything about wedding venue lighting was amazing. The customer service was 100% as was everything else, I am already trying to persuade my new husband to do it all over again so I can order even more things from Wedding Venue Lighting. Everything looked brilliant and absolutely everyone at the venue commented on how easy they were to work with and how gorgeous the whole venue looked once they had finished! I can't thank the team enough, I would recommend to anyone.
We hired the light up dance floor, letters and lots of fairy lights to transform our venue and it looked amazing! Very professional company who provided a first class service setting up lighting to suit our itinerary which made the whole day run smoothly. Thank you! Would definitely recommend.
The service Wedding Venue Lighting provided us was second to none. Everything was ready when it needed to be and at no point was there ever any stress involved. The lighting itself was superb and added to the fantastic day. I cannot recommend them enough!
Wedding Venue Lighting did a superb job of supplying lighting for our wedding. Our venue was a total blank canvas and the lighting absolutely transformed the venue.

Beautiful set up for my wedding. The venue looked stunning and so many positive comments from guests. Friendly staff.

Hi Matt
Thank you so much for the wonderful twinkling backdrop - it looks amazing, Here is a quick picture of how it looked.
We wanted Chinese lanterns for our barn wedding we looked on their website and there was such an amazing array of choice and options shown we just knew that we wanted to use their services. The final result was beautiful the lanterns added exactly what we wanted to the venue it made it that much more special
It was really easy and hassle free. The lights and lanterns were lovely and we received lots of positive comments about them and how they tied in with our colour theme.
There was no time to move the backlit curtain we had through the day to the dance floor for the night time do, so Wedding Venue Lighting put another one there for us free of charge. Couldn't be happier with the service.
Very efficient. We didn't even seen them putting the flooring down and the up-lights looked amazing. It really brought the room together and made it look perfect. So happy with the service. Would def recommend.
Our wedding took place on Valentines Day and we had the letters M&M which set off the reception room which became the dance floor perfectly. All our guests were commenting on them. The were bigger than I had expected and were a perfect focal point and finishing touch. I'm so glad I found this company who were great value, professional and efficient from beginning to end. I highly recommend them.
From the off Wedding Venue Lighting were approachable and helpful. All correspondence was received in good time. They were consistently helpful and the dance floor we ordered looked amazing!!
Matt of wedding venue lighting is fantastic and the dancefloor and lighting provided for my wedding was superb.
Really helpful throughout the whole booking process and flexible when it came to timing and payment. We asked them to come in a day early when we were setting up so it was all ready for the say and they obliged. The overall finish was fantastic and really made a difference to others venue.
Would just like to say a massive thank you to Matt for making our wedding day so special. He was a true gentleman and set up an amazing backdrop that looked magical. We had the best day ever and everyone commented on the curtain, please hire from this company as what they produce will take yor breath away.
Thanks Matt
I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you and your team for the professional service that we received both preparing for and during our wedding on 2 April 2016 at Mosborough Hall, Sheffield.
Both my husband and I were very impressed with the quality of the lighting, both the uplighters and the fairy lights, and how it transformed the room. We were also impressed with the white drapes, which were removed with no interruption to our guests after the ceremony, and the white carpet. The communication from you in the lead-up to the wedding was also excellent and put my mind at ease.
We will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends in future.
Thanks again.
we're brilliant from start to finish, and the end result was much better than I even thought it would be
I just wanted to thank you for your part in my wonderful day....
The lighting really made the difference to the room. and the logo.... wow.... it comes out in the pictures when we are dancing so great!!!!!!.... it was just amassing... thanks for the present its a great memorandum.
Take care and Thank you once more.
They provided a superb service, and took the ease out of sorting out venue lighting.
Wedding venue lighting supplied us with fairy lights and the light up love heart we left it very last minute to confirm timings with them as we decided we wanted the props to arrive during the meal so it would transfer the room from day to night. Wedding venue lighting rearranged there plans and timings so they could do this for us
Hi Matt,
Thank you so much for all your help for the event on Saturday. We made over £5,000 and still counting. Your support is hugely appreciated.
Thanks once again.
Give A Gift
I can't praise this company enough! We were very last minute and only contacted them 5 weeks before the big day. Matt went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed (despite the lead time). I contacted them 2 days before for a Selfie Mirror and, again, they were brilliant! The team spent the evening with us and really got involved......our family and friends all commented on the room, the decorations and the friendliness of the staff. Highly recommended!
Matt and his team were very professional from start to finish, from the first phone call, e-mail, meeting us to discuss our requirements, even adjusted things to our taste to actually suggest us to delete a few products which saved us some pennies for our honeymoon. Not a lot of businesses want to do that! Our room was absolutely stunning, all our guests were amazed on how good our room looked even the Banqueting team at the hotel were speechless as were our toastmaster (he had seen the room before!) which was funny to witness! It was stunning, things were changed after our wedding breakfast and this was done discreetly and professionally, cannot thank the team enough, they did a marvellous job and I have the memories and photos to prove what an excellent day we both had :-) Winners, thanks guys!!
Wedding Venue Lighting were brilliant!
We were given their information from the band as they've worked with them on previous occasions, and they were brilliant!
From the first email, to the setting up, to the collection - they were professional, experienced and happy to help.
Nothing was too much of an ask - even if we were running behind!
Cant thank you enough for your services.
Thank you!
We had the 5ft love letter and they made a massive impact in our wedding venue. Everyone commented on them and asked where we got them from. They were a real focal point in the room and everyone wanted a picture with them. I would recommend them to everyone.

They liaised with the venue directly which the venue really appreciated and it relieved my family of the worry of organising the deliveries and timings on the actual wedding day.
They arrived at the venue as planned and constructed the curtaining and lighting exactly to specification.
Fabulous service
The supplier was flexible and willing to make amends to the order and pricing when I changed my mind. They also sent me a confirmation a week before the wedding which put me at ease and an email afterwards to say congratulations.
Matt and the whole team were really helpful throughout our wedding planning. Nothing was too hard for them and they gave us tons of ideas and inspiration as well as listening to our ideas. On the day of setting up they were so quick and friendly it really took the stress out of everything!

The owner was also so helpful in arranging other aspects of the day (such as chairs for the venue) which I had been struggling to find a supplier for.
Excellent service and products. The giant light up love letters made such an incredible impact at the entrance to the hall, and provided everyone with a great photo opportunity. Some of our favourite photos are with these as the back drop
Really efficient, lovely people, set up was quick and professional, really really made our day more beautiful
Absolutely fabulous. So easy to deal with and made it so easy to communicate with. They actually suggested they do 2 trips and drop some lights off for me during he day and come back to do the dance floor at night.

Saint Stephen the Martyr
- Stephen the Deacon
- 26 December
- 3 August (discovery of relics)
- 7 May (translation of relics)
First Christian martyr. Deacon. Preacher. All we know of him is related in the Acts of the Apostles. While preaching the Gospel in the streets, angry Jews who believed his message to be blasphemy dragged him outside the city, and stoned him to death. In the crowd, on the side of the mob, was a man who would later be known as Saint Paul the Apostle.

At that time, as the number of disciples continued to grow, the Hellenists complained against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. So the Twelve called together the community of the disciples and said, "It is not right for us to neglect the word of God to serve at table. Brothers, select from among you seven reputable men, filled with the Spirit and wisdom, whom we shall appoint to this task, whereas we shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." The proposal was acceptable to the whole community, so they chose Stephen, a man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit….
Now Stephen, filled with grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people. Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and debated with Stephen, but they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke. Then they instigated some men to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God." They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, accosted him, seized him, and brought him before the Sanhedrin.
They presented false witnesses who testified, "This man never stops saying things against (this) holy place and the law. For we have heard him claim that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us."
All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel. Stephen preaches to the Sanhedrin, concluding: "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always oppose the Holy Spirit; you are just like your ancestors. Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They put to death those who foretold the coming of the righteous one, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. You received the law as transmitted by angels, but you did not observe it."
When they heard this, they were infuriated, and they ground their teeth at him. But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up intently to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
But they cried out in a loud voice, covered their ears, and rushed upon him together. They threw him out of the city, and began to stone him. The witnesses laid down their cloaks at the feet of a young man named Saul. As they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Then he fell to his knees and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them"; and when he said this, he fell asleep. – Acts 6:1-15, 7:51-60
Almighty and everlasting God, who this day didst hallow the first-fruits of thy holy martyrs by the blood of the blessed Deacon Stephen: grant, we beseech thee, that we may be assisted by his prayers in heaven, who on earth was willing to pray even for his persecutors. – Leonine Sacramentary
O God, the teacher and ruler of all that minister unto thee, who did adorn the first beginnings of thy Church both with the ministrations of thy blessed Deacon Stephen and with the precious blood of his martyrdom: grant, we beseech thee, that we, in the hour of our departure, obtaining thy pardon, may be followers of his example and assisted by his prayers. Amen. – Milanese Sacramentary
Yesterday we celebrated the birth in time of our eternal King. Today we celebrate the triumphant suffering of his soldier. Yesterday our king, clothed in his robe of flesh, left his place in the virgin's womb and graciously visited the world. Today his soldier leaves the tabernacle of his body and goes triumphantly to heaven.
Our king, despite his exalted majesty, came in humility for our sake; yet he did not come empty-handed. He gave of his bounty, yet without any loss to himself. In a marvelous way he changed into wealth the poverty of his faithful followers while remaining in full possession of his own inexhaustible riches. And so the love that brought Christ from heaven to earth raised Stephen from earth ot heaven; shown first in the king, it later shone forth in his soldier. His love of God kept him from yielding to the ferocious mob; his love for his neighbor made him pray for those who were stoning him. Love inspired him to reprove those who erred, to make them amend; love led him to pray for those who stoned him, to save them from punishment.
Love, indeed, is the source of all good things; it is an impregnable defense, and the way that leads to heaven. He who walks in love can neither go astray nor be afraid: love guides him, protects him, and brings him to his journey's end.
My brothers, Christ made love the stairway that would enable all Christians to climb to heaven. Hold fast to it, therefore, in all sincerity, give one another practical proof of it, and by your progress in it, make your ascent together. from a sermon by Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe

The mediastinum is surrounded by the breastbone in front, the spine in back, and the lungs on each side. Mediastinal tumor resection removes tumors in this area of the chest cavity.
Reasons for Procedure
Cancerous tumors must be removed to prevent local tissue damage and the spread of cancer. Without removal or treatment, the cancer could spread to other areas of the body. The cancer could also start to compress organs in the chest, such as the heart, lungs, esophagus, or spinal cord.
People who have this surgery often have a better prognosis than those who receive either radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, such as:
- Damage to the areas surrounding the tumor, including the heart, lungs, and spinal cord
- Fluid collecting between the lung tissue lining and the wall of the chest cavity
- Lung collapse
- Drainage, infection, or bleeding
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before the surgery, your doctor may take images of structures inside your body using:
Leading up to the surgery:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home.
General anesthesia—you will be asleep during the procedure
Description of the Procedure
To remove the tumor, the doctor will make one large, central incision in the chest, an incision between the ribs, or several small incisions. If several small incisions are made, a camera will be inserted into one incision. The camera will allow the doctor to view the area via monitor. Through the other incisions, surgical tools will be inserted.
Tubes may be inserted into your chest. These tubes will help to drain fluid and air from the chest cavity. The incisions will be closed with staples or stitches.
Immediately After Procedure
The breathing tube will be removed. You will be monitored closely for any complications from the procedure.
How Long Will It Take?
About 1-4 hours depending on the type of surgery
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
This surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 4 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
You will be given a clear liquid diet.
You will be instructed to practice deep breathing and coughing to help your lungs recover.
Any chest tubes will be removed before you go home.
When you are home:
- Avoid lifting objects heavier than 5 pounds.
- Do not to drive for 4-6 weeks.
- Follow instructions your doctor's instructions.
After you recover from surgery, you may need chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
Call Your Doctor
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you've been given
- Cough, difficulty breathing, or chest pain
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

text: Friday, April 19, 2013 Student Led Advocacy Effort on Physical Therapist Workforce Legislation To engage physical therapy students in advocacy to advance the physical therapist profession, the Student Assembly Board of Directors (SABoD) and APTA have teamed up to implement a Flash Action Strategy (FAS) to initiate student support for the Physical Therapist Workforce and Patient Access Act (HR 1252/S 602), legislation reintroduced in the 113th Congress to include physical therapists in the National Health Service Corps. The FAS is a student-driven strategy to send letters to Congress on this issue during a 72-hour period April 23-25. Education programs across the country have been asked to RSVP that they will send a letter through APTA's Legislative Action Center or Patient Action Center during this time, with the goal of producing 16,000 letters to Congress. The FAS affords a unique opportunity for students to participate in advocacy and unite with fellow peers on a national scale on a single issue. More information can be found at www.apta.org/FAS. Comments Please consider including physical therapists in the National Health Service Corps. Also please consider including physical therapists in the loan forgiveness program because PT school is very expensive. Our daughter is currently in PT school and already has large student loans. Thank you so much in advance for reviewing these issues. Posted by Patricia Soileau on 4/23/2013 8:51 PM Great writeup indeed.

The independent broker-dealer community received a stark and sobering message on Tuesday about the overall health of the industry.
A presentation by Cerulli Associates' Tyler Cloherty and Patrick Newcomb at the FSI One Voice Conference in San Diego focused on trends impacting the IBD space, specifically recruitment and market share, both of which IBDs are losing.
"From a general market stance, we are seeing IBDs lose headcount and market share to dually registered reps and RIAs," said Cloherty, Cerulli's associate director.
Surprisingly, IBDs are the net winners in recruiting, he added, but it's something of a pyrrhic victory, as they are getting lower-end advisors.
"It doesn't make sense for fee advisors to continue to pay a percentage to a broker-dealer, so they leave. IBDs are left serving small market reps, typically fall in the $10 million to $75 million range, with the majority at the lower end of that range."
Dually registered reps do in fact stay with the IBD for their commission-based business, but that only accounts for about 30% of the assets. More and more assets, Cloherty said, are going to their own RIA.
"The question becomes, 'What do IBDs have to provide in order to keep higher-end reps there?'" he noted. "Smaller IBDs who don't have the resources for high-end offerings—those with typically 50 to 250 reps—are getting crushed. What they're doing is loosening their compliance standards and offering products that larger firms might not offer, which isn't good in-and-of itself."
LPL Financial, Raymond James and AIG Advisor Group, larger broker-dealers organized in networks, have the base of scale and can make the necessary investments in packaged platforms to keep advisors at their firms, Cloherty said.
"It's tough to make that investment into technology and oversight," added Newcomb, a senior analyst with the firm, noting it's the reason so many small IBDs are outsourcing to third-party vendors like Envestnet and Lockwood.
"For simplicity's sake, you're seeing a lot of broker-dealers trying to deliver a UMA environment, but it's tough to get advisors to make the move because packaged models start to look like they're the firm's client, rather than the advisor's client," he said.
In order to satisfy this issue, broker-dealers will have to implement more "rep-driven programs."
Both Cloherty and Newcomb were quick to add it's not all bad news for independent broker-dealers, and concluded with a few positive takeaways:
- There is a bit of an opportunity to recapture assets from RIAs that are under $100 million in AUM and subject to state regulation.
- Larger firms are also creating commission-based platforms that keep the rep registered with the IBD, but they can also hang their own hat.
- Generalist firms will no longer get it done. Advisors must specialize or they will die by 1,000 paper cuts.
- From a recruiting standpoint, there are still a lot of advisors to be cherry-picked from wirehouses. However, the key is to focus on retention rather than strictly recruitment.
"It's not enough to get them to leave the wirehouses, they have to want to stay with you," Newcomb said.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Butterbur can be found growing along rivers, ditches, and marshy areas in northern Asia, Europe, and parts of North America. It sends up stalks of reddish flowers very early in spring, before producing very large heart-shaped leaves with a furry gray underside. Once the leaves appear, butterbur somewhat resembles rhubarb—one of its common names is bog rhubarb. It is also sometimes referred to as "umbrella leaves" due to the size of its foliage. Other more or less descriptive common names abound, including blatterdock, bogshorns, butter-dock, butterly dock, capdockin, flapperdock, and langwort.
Butterbur is often described as possessing an unpleasant smell, but being malodorous has not protected it from harvesting by humans. The plant has a long history of use as an anti-spasmodic, thought to be effective for such conditions as stomach cramps, whooping cough, and asthma.
Externally, butterbur has been applied as a poultice over wounds or skin ulcerations.
What Is Butterbur Used for Today?
A special toxin-free butterbur extract has been investigated for the treatment of a variety of illnesses. Two double-blind trials suggest that this butterbur extract may be useful for preventing migraine headaches . 1,16 In addition, meaningful evidence indicates that this extract is helpful for hay fever . 14,17,18,23,24
There is some evidence that butterbur has anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic effects, 2,3 and on this basis it has been proposed as a treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal pain conditions; however, meaningful clinical trials have not been reported. 4,5,6 Butterbur has also undergone highly preliminary investigation for treatment of asthma7,8 and for protecting the stomach lining from injury, thereby helping to prevent ulcers . 9,10
Preliminary evidence suggests that butterbur is not likely to be particularly effective for allergic skin diseases, such as eczema . 19
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Butterbur?
Two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies suggest that butterbur extract may be helpful for preventing migraines, although the optimum dosage is not clear.
Butterbur extract was tested as a migraine preventive in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 60 men and women who experienced at least three migraines per month. 11 After 4 weeks without any conventional medications, participants were randomly assigned to take either 50 mg of butterbur extract or placebo twice daily for 3 months.
The results were positive: both the number of migraine attacks and the total number of days of migraine pain were significantly reduced in the treatment group as compared to the placebo group. Three out of four individuals taking butterbur reported improvement, as compared to only one out of four in the placebo group. No significant side effects were noted.
In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study performed by different researchers, 202 people with migraine headaches received either 50 mg twice daily of butterbur extract, 75 mg twice daily, or placebo. 16 Over the 3 months of the study, the frequency of migraine attacks gradually decreased in all three groups. However, the group receiving the higher dose of butterbur extract showed significantly greater improvement than those in the placebo group. The lower dose of butterbur failed to prove significantly more effective than placebo.
Based on these two studies, it does appear that butterbur extract is helpful for preventing migraines, and that 75 mg twice daily is more effective than 50 mg twice daily. However, further research is necessary to establish this with certainty.
Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis)
Butterbur appears to affect the immune system in ways that suggest it should be helpful for hay fever (technically, "seasonal allergic rhinitis"). 15,20 On this basis, it has been tested as an allergy treatment, with positive results in substantial studies.
In a 2-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 186 people with intermittent allergic rhinitis, use of butterbur at a dose of three standardized tablets daily, or one tablet daily, reduced allergy symptoms as compared to placebo. 23 Significantly greater benefits were seen in the higher-dose group. Such "dose dependency" is generally taken as a confirming sign that a treatment really works.
In another double-blind study, 330 people were given either butterbur extract (one tablet three times daily), the antihistamine fexofenadine (Allegra), or placebo. 25 The results showed that butterbur and fexofenadine were equally effective, and both were more effective than placebo.
A previous 2-week, double-blind study of 125 individuals with hay fever compared a standardized butterbur extract against the antihistamine drug certizine. 14 According to ratings by both doctors and patients, the two treatments proved about equally effective. Unfortunately, this study did not use a placebo group.
Two much smaller studies produced inconsistent results. 21,22
It is not clear how butterbur might work. Unlike standard antihistamines, it does not appear to reduce reactions on allergy skin tests. 27
The usual dosage of butterbur is 50-75 mg twice daily of a standardized extract that has been processed to remove potentially dangerous chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (see Safety Issues below).
Warning : Use of any butterbur product that contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids is definitely not recommended.
Safety Issues
In studies and postmarketing surveillance involving adults and children, burping and other mild gastrointestinal complaints have been the main side effect of butterbur extract. 16, 26,28
Butterbur contains liver-toxic and possibly carcinogenic components called pyrrolizidine alkaloids. 12 Fortunately, it is possible to remove these compounds from butterbur products. 13 In Germany, the maximum allowable content of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in butterbur products has been set at 1 microgram per daily recommended dose.
Butterbur should not be used by pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with severe kidney or liver disease, until further safety testing has been performed.

Winner of a Grammy® in 2008, 2009 and 2011, Rundfunkchor Berlin is a regular guest at all the major festivals and the chosen partner of international orchestras and conductors such as Sir Simon Rattle, Christian Thielemann, Seiji Ozawa or Yannick Nézet-Séguin. It is the permanent partner of the Berliner Philharmoniker as well as of Berlin's Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester and Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester and their conductors.
The exceptional breadth of its repertoire, its stylistic versatility, absolute precision, delight in experimentation, stunning responsiveness and an unmistakable warm, richly nuanced sound all contribute to making it one of the world's outstanding choral ensembles. Rundfunkchor Berlin's experimental series, "Broadening the Scope of Choral Music", has attracted great worldwide attention. Here, in collaboration with artists from diverse disciplines, the chorus is breaking down the classical concert formation and adopting new modes of choral music for a new audience.
Some prime examples: Rodion Shchedrin's The Sealed Angel employing five dancers has now been seen in many different countries; the performance of Sir John Tavener's The Veil of the Temple in Berlin's museum for contemporary art was visually enhanced and filmed by Boomtown Media in 2009; Gustav Holst's Sāvitri was performed with female contortionists in the Berlin techno club Berghain in 2010; and in 2012 an interactive scenic version of Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem was staged by Jochen Sandig / Sasha Waltz & Guests. With its annual activities for various target groups – the big "Sing-along Concert" and the "Festival of Cultures" in the Berlin Philharmonie, the,"Berlin LeaderChor" for managers, and the "Liederbörse" (Song Exchange) for children and young people, as well as with the longterm education programme "SING!" – Rundfunkchor Berlin invites people of all ages and walks of life to become immersed in the world of professional choral music.
In 2012, the ensemble invites young professional choral conductors for the second time to its Berlin International Masterclass. Founded in 1925 and shaped by conductors including Helmut Koch, Dietrich Knothe (1982- 93) and Robin Gritton (1994-2001), Rundfunkchor Berlin has been directed since 2001 by Simon Halsey. Rundfunkchor Berlin is an ensemble of Rundfunk Orchester und Chöre Gmbh, Berlin (Shareholders: Deutschlandradio, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Berlin and Radio Berlin-Brandenburg).
