The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Wedding Production for Exclusive Reception at RHS Wisley

RHS Garden Wisley Wedding Venue Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Wedding Production for Exclusive Reception at RHS Wisley  

One of the most magical wedding venues in the entire country is the Glasshouse at RHS Wisley. This unrivalled location provides a stunning setting for couples and their travelling guests. 

While the gardens are a spectacular backdrop to a wedding celebration, the Glasshouse offers a unique wedding experience as you dine and dance amongst exquisite tropical plants and marvel at the magnificent structure that is one of the largest greenhouses in the UK. 

We were lucky enough to get the call to handle the event production requirements after a previous client of ours referred us to the happy couple, and we couldn’t wait to get started on this unique wedding project. 

Event Lighting Provided to Wedding Reception at RHS Wisley

The brief was pretty simple, despite the grandeur of the location. The idea was to accentuate all of the natural features rather than be overbearing with technical equipment that would take away from the tranquillity and majesty of the reception area. 

With that in mind, we started by rigging the wedding festoon lights between the steel support beams (there were several), winding them between the tables and creating an incredibly rustic feel. We then showcased as many of the enormous tropical plants as we could by carefully positioning wireless uplighters underneath them and emitting a soft white glow. 

With the pared-back mood and atmospheric lighting taken care of, we moved on to the more functional elements of event production, such as the sound equipment and disco lighting. 

Professional Sound Equipment, Staging, and Disco Lighting Supplied to Surrey Wedding Reception 

Unlike many wedding receptions, the couple had not hired a DJ and had instead booked two live bands. When we say live bands, the first “band” was a string quartet that played lovely background music for the guests during the drinks reception, meal, and period between the after-dinner speeches and the first dance.

We started prepping for these two sets of very different technical requirements by constructing a small wedding stage platform that was less than 1m off the ground and with a couple of steps on either side for getting on and off. 

We then started setting up the instrumental microphones and a comprehensive PA system from d&b audiotechnik. We also set up several items that wouldn’t be in use until after the quartet had finished and the professional wedding band had set up, such as the drum mics. 

With all of the individual sound devices set up, we ran everything through a digital mixing desk and had one of our experienced sound engineers oversee its operation during proceedings. 

We then moved on to the disco lighting fixtures, which we rigged along a rectangular truss suspended from the above-mentioned steel beams. Finally, with the professional sound and lighting equipment taken care of, we laid an LED starlit dance floor (white) for the guests to dance the night away. 

As we had a couple of bodies on-site throughout the evening, we can report that the event was a huge success and everyone (including the bride and groom) had a wonderful time. They even dropped in to say a personal thank you before retiring for the evening, which makes our work even more gratifying.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Production to Corporate Christmas Party at Oaks Farm

Oaks Farm Wedding Venue

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Production to Corporate Christmas Party at Oaks Farm

Just 10 miles from London and a stone’s throw from Croydon and Bromley is the spectacular events venue, Oaks Farm. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and rural beauty, this building offers a range of rooms and suites for event organisers to choose from.

Our client had chosen “The Barn” as their setting for their company’s Christmas party in December of last year. With dark wooden beams and a blend of modern décor and original architectural detailing, we agree that it was a perfect location for a celebration of this nature. 

As a long-time event production partner to Oaks Farm, we got the call when the client booked in this relatively large-scale party. The venue quickly put us in touch with the client, and once we had discussed their options over the phone, we arrived at the venue the morning of the party to set everything up. 

Event Production Supplied to Surrey Events Venue for Corporate Christmas Party 

The first job we had on our hands was to transform the already spectacular barn into something more befitting of the  “Winter Wonderland” theme. We started by wrapping fairy lights around the transverse beams. We then sourced fake winter foliage (such as holly and mistletoe etc.), which we wrapped in the same manner, spaced roughly a foot apart from the lighting pattern.  

With the beams decorated and looking magnificent, we then commandeered one of the corners of the room to put up the Christmas tree, decorate it, and set up the snow machine to cover the area in the white stuff.  

Last on the more decorative side of our event production brief was the mood lighting. We set up two banks of battery-powered venue uplighters (one for each side of the room) and programmed them to emit a shade of blue that makes the entire room feel much more wintery. We are always amazed at how much difference these inexpensive lighting fixtures can make, and they more than did the trick once again. 

Professional Sound Equipment and Disco Lighting Hire Provided to Surrey Christmas Party

With the room now transformed, it was time to take care of the technical requirements for live entertainment. The client had booked a DJ for the after-dinner dancing, so we liaised with her to find out what she needed in terms of sound equipment. 

In the end, we ended up supplying a set of Pioneer DJ decks, a LED DJ booth, starlit backdrops, and a professional-quality sound system made up of d&b audiotechnik equipment, a brand that is widely regarded as the best in the industry. 

On the lighting side, we supplied and rigged a range of disco lighting fixtures (which included a couple of laser machines) along a small truss. Lastly, we finished by suspending an enormous glitter ball from the ceiling to add a touch of nostalgia. 

Once we had checked and rechecked all of the equipment, it was time to head out and leave the staff to enjoy their well-deserved night off. When we returned in the early hours, it was clear that everyone had enjoyed a fantastic night, and our event production had really come into its own once darkness had fallen.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Professional Event Equipment to Dinner Dance at Surrey National Golf Club

Surrey National Golf Club

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Professional Event Equipment to Dinner Dance at Surrey National Golf Club

Set in over 200 acres of private land, Surrey National Golf Club is a perfect setting for a whole host of private functions. Boasting stunning views over the Surrey North Downs, the bright and contemporary clubhouse has the capacity for up to 340 guests through its airy inter-linking suites for hire. 

One of these suites was recently hired for a black-tie dinner dance to celebrate the hard work the students of East Surrey College had put in over the course of their higher education qualifications. Being the event equipment supplier for Surrey National, we got the call to deal with the event production requests of the client, and we were more than happy to oblige. 

With that in mind, let’s tell you a little more about the work we put in to make sure this was a memorable evening for everyone in attendance. 

Event Lighting Supplied to Dinner Dance for Students at Surrey National Golf Club

The first element of our event brief that needed taking care of was the event lighting. We wasted no time setting up a number of fixtures upon our arrival at the venue. We set up wireless uplighters at 5-metre intervals to set the right tone for the room (we landed on a deep shade of purple). We then moved on to the light up letters, which we had custom-made to spell “Class of 2021”, adding a nice personal touch for the students.  

We also rigged festoon lighting to run across the ceiling, using anchor points on the joins between the top of the walls and the beginning of the sloped ceilings. With the event lighting taken care of, we moved on to the more technical infrastructure, including the sound system. 

Professional PA System Installation and Dance Floor Hire Supplied to Surrey National Golf Club 

With the event lighting taken care of, it was time to move on to the more technical equipment. We liaised with the client’s DJ to ascertain what they needed and supplied him with a pair of Pioneer DJ decks, a snazzy LED DJ booth, and a full PA system from d&b audiotechnik. We also threw in a wireless microphone for good measure, ensuring he could make the odd announcement as and when was necessary. 

We erected a truss over and above the DJ booth to rig the disco lights we supplied, and then it was time to move on to the last piece of the puzzle, the dance floor. The client decided on our classy black starlit dance floor, which we neatly matched with several floor-mounted starlit drapes, to give the dance floor area a real feeling of exclusivity.

The party lasted well into the evening, and it looked as though everyone had enjoyed a brilliant evening when it was time for the carriages to arrive.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Turnkey Wedding Event Production to Reception on Ravens Ait Island

Ravens Ait Island Wedding Venue

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Turnkey Wedding Event Production to Reception on Ravens Ait Island

There is undoubtedly no other Surrey wedding venue quite like Ravens Ait Island. A literal island in the middle of the Thames, those attending events here have the pleasure of catching the miniature ferry across the river to this venue with a difference.

While there are several different types of events hosted at this exclusive riverside venue, we were recently called in to provide a turnkey wedding event production solution for a couple getting married at the beginning of last autumn. 

The couple had opted for the dedicated marquee space for their reception, and we set about transforming it into the wedding reception venue of their dreams. So without further ado, let’s talk about the work we carried out to ensure the event was a resounding success. 

Event Production Provided to Ravens Ait Island in Kingston Upon Thames

The first aspect of our event production brief was decorating the space above and beyond those provided by the venue. We started with white wedding drapes, which we put in at each pillar of the framed marquee to cover up the steel bar structure. We then took the venue draping one step further by setting up ceiling-mounted starlit backdrops that hung over the dance floor area.      

Next, we then began rigging wedding fairy lights that criss-crossed from the marquee sides, ran along with the marquee ceiling, and met in the middle of the tent. These lights looked wonderful once darkness had fallen, really adding a magical feel to things. 

Lastly, on the non-technical side, we supplied and installed a wide range of LED furniture, including a mobile LED bar, poseur tables, and chairs. These were for the guests in and around the dance floor area. They were all programmed to cycle through a range of bright colours, and, once again, they really came into their own once darkness fell. 

Professional Sound, Lighting, and Dance Floor Supplied to Wedding at Ravens Ait Island 

Once we had taken care of all of the decorative elements of wedding event production, it was time to move on to the technical side of things. There was no need for a wedding stage for this event, and the live entertainment came in the form of a local DJ.

We made sure he had everything he needed and set up an attractive LED DJ booth for him to operate from. We then supplied and installed an immersive sound system that was more than ample for the 150 or so wedding guests in attendance. We then erected a small free-standing truss to which we attached the disco lighting fixtures, laser machines, and smoke machines.

Lastly, we laid an impressive 10m x 10m square dance floor, one of our white LED starlit models, which certainly impressed the guests. Many of them were itching to take it for a spin! With the dance floor taken care of, it was time to quickly check and double-check all devices before leaving the bride, groom, and their guests to it.

Upon returning the next day to dismantle and collect everything, we were told the event was a resounding success and that the bride and groom were delighted with the way the marquee both looked and sounded. We were obviously thrilled to receive such positive feedback.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Event Production for Awards Evening at Farnham Castle

Worplesdon Place Hotel Guildford

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Event Production for Awards Evening at Farnham Castle

Farnham Castle is just under an hour from London and positioned on the Surrey/Hampshire border. Founded by the Bishop of Winchester and dating back to the 12th century, this magnificent building is nestled among beautiful grounds and scenic woodlands. It’s the perfect place to host all kinds of events, including weddings and charity balls. 

There are a variety of rooms and suites within the building that play host to occasions of all kinds, blending modern and contemporary features with period architecture. One such room had been booked out to welcome guests for an awards evening for a prestigious London-based company. The awards show was to be a celebration of the hard work put in over the last 18 months and overcoming the challenges presented by the pandemic.   

As an approved event production supplier to Farnham Castle, we were called in to handle all event production requirements not handled in house. So let’s tell you a little more about the work we carried out. 

Stage Hire and Sound Equipment Provided to Awards Evening at Farnham Castle

Upon sitting down with the client, one of the first elements we discussed was the stage, which was the focal point for the evening. We considered several stage hire options before reaching a consensus on a modular design, with four tiers leading up to the main stage platform. They went for black colour with gold trim on the steps (tiers) leading up the stage, in keeping with the overall black and gold dress code and decor for the event. 

We kitted out the stage with a podium for the presenter and slotted a wired microphone just above where the presenter’s notes were to be positioned. We then rigged up an extensive PA system that includes several speakers, sub-bass units, stage monitors, and power amps to ensure everyone in attendance had no problem hearing proceedings. 

With those elements taken care of, it was time to move on to the lighting. 

Event Lighting Supplied to Prestigious Awards Show in Surrey

The event brief concerning lighting was split into decorative/mood lighting and stage lighting. On the decorative side, we positioned several wireless uplighters in two banks (one bank for each wall) along the perimeter of the function room. We programmed them to emit a light shade of gold, identical to the main colour in their logo and the trim added to the main stage tiers.  

We also set up a gobo projector that beamed the company logo around the ceiling close to the stage to add a real touch of class to proceedings. With the mood and decorative lighting taken care of, it was time to rig the stage lighting. 

We started by constructing and rigging a rectangular truss suspended from the ceiling using dedicated anchor points. We then started affixing the stage lighting fixtures, including spotlights, stage washes, and a few disco lights (for light displays in between awards categories). 

Finally, our engineers and technicians were on hand to handle the sound mixing and technical direction of the lighting sequences. The event was a resounding success, and everyone had a fantastic evening. We’re already looking forward to being involved in next year’s edition.

Professional Sound Equipment, Lighting Fixtures, and Dance Floor Supplied to Anniversary Celebration at Worplesdon Place

Worplesdon Place Hotel Guildford

Professional Sound Equipment, Lighting Fixtures, and Dance Floor Supplied to Anniversary Celebration at Worplesdon Place

Set in the rural village location of Worplesdon, Worplesdon Place is a popular hotel and events venue situated on the outskirts of Guildford. Boasting two acres of stunning landscaped gardens (including a swan lake), this 19th-century country manor house has been carefully repurposed and re-designed to become the perfect venue for a number of private celebrations such as weddings and birthday parties. 

We’ve been an event production partner to Worplesdon Place for several years now, so we got the call to handle the associated event equipment hire requirements for a private function booked to celebrate a silver wedding anniversary. 

Sound Equipment and Event Lighting Provided to Surrey Anniversary Celebration

Since this venue is well-versed in hosting private functions, they often provide a decent chunk of the event production requirements themselves. As a result, they provided the partygoers with tables, chairs, place settings and took care of the catering elements. 

In short, our brief was to handle all of the technical aspects linked to the live entertainment, which came in the form of a local DJ booked by the celebrants. We were passed his details from the client and liaised with him to ascertain what he would need. Although he had his own decks, we needed to provide plenty of other related equipment. 

We started with the DJ booth itself, installing one of our LED DJ booths for him to work from. We then set up the associated sound system. With around 75 guests in attendance, we didn’t have to install the most extensive set-up in the world. However, the premium RCF speaker arrangement we supplied still packed a serious punch. 

Next up, we installed one of our disco lighting hire packages and included a laser machine and smoke machine on top for good measure. We usually erected a small truss to ensure all of the lights could be accommodated, and, with the lights taken care of, the only production left for us to install was the dance floor. 

Dance Floor Hire Supplied to Worplesdon Place Party

After liaising with the client, they decided they wanted to go for something with a little more “pizzazz,” and we were more than happy to oblige. We supplied one of our black LED dance floors that complemented the function suite nicely and added a real touch of class to the celebrations. 

Once everything was in place, we ran through some of the more technical stuff with the event organisers and the DJ. With the on-the-spot training out of the way, we left everyone to enjoy their evening before returning around midnight to pick everything up and load it back onto our vans. 

It looked as though everything had enjoyed a lovely evening, evidenced by the fact that people were up and dancing right up until the lights went on at the stroke of 12.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Wedding Event Production at High Billinghurst Farm

High Billinghurst Godalming Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Wedding Event Production at High Billinghurst Farm 

Set within 65 acres of rolling Surrey Countryside is High Billinghurst Farm. Located between Dunsfold and Hascombe, a long meandering private lane, edged by hedgerows, wildflowers, and fields, leads you towards High Billinghurst Farm’s event barn, which provides the perfect setting for any special occasion.

Over the summer, we were enlisted to provide the full event production requirements for a wedding taking place at this stunning venue. From the decorative event lighting to the sound requirements, we handled all technical aspects for this memorable day, and we can’t wait to tell you all about it. 

So without further ado, let’s get started. 

Event Lighting Supplied to Surrey Wedding Venue

The first and most extensive element of the wedding production to tackle was the event lighting, especially the decorative and mood lighting elements. We started our work in the area immediately outside the barn. We rigged wedding festoon lights and ran them from pole to pole (there are telegraph-style poles outside the barn). 

Our next move was to set up wireless uplighters along the hedge-rowed perimeter. We set up one battery-powered uplighters every five metres and set them to emit a warm white glow that was not too dissimilar to the warm orange glow given off by the festoon lights. 

With the exterior lighting taken care of, it was time to move indoors. Here, we got inventive and set up gobos over our uplighters, projecting leafy patterns on either side of the barn’s wooden sloping roof. We then topped off the decorative lighting arrangement with light-up letters spelling the couple’s name that took their place in front of the DJ booth

With the decorative lighting taken care of, it was time to move on to the more functional event production elements. 

Professional Sound Equipment, Disco Lighting, and Dance Floor Supplied to Surrey Wedding  

Our focus moved onto the live entertainment element of the wedding reception. We had liaised with the wedding DJ before the event, so we already knew what he was looking for in terms of production. 

He already had his own decks (you can hire DJ equipment from us should you need to for your wedding), which we connected up to a premium sound system made up of d&b audiotechnik speakers and sub-bass units. We also supplied him with a Shure wireless mic for announcements.

We then erected a small truss to affix the disco lighting hire fixtures to before placing a floor-mounted smoke machine at the base of the DJ booth. Last but by no means least, we installed a white dance floor with built-in LEDs that twinkled underneath the guest’s feet as they danced the night away. 

Once set-up was complete, we left everyone to it and returned the following day to dismantle and collect everything before returning it to the warehouse. The happy couple thanked us for our hard work and commented on how amazing the barn looked for their big day.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Conference AV Installation to Event at Stanhill Court Hotel

Stanhill Court Hotel Wedding Venue in Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Conference AV Installation to Event at Stanhill Court Hotel

Set in 35 acres of ancient woodland and boasting idyllic views overlooking the Surrey Hills, Stanhill Court Hotel is the perfect events venue for all kinds of occasions. Better still, this country manor house has been recently refurbished to a high standard, making it even more inviting for events such as weddings and conferences. 

A few months ago, we were brought in (as the preferred AV equipment and services provider) to help with an all-day corporate conference. So let’s tell you a little bit more about the work we carried out for this event. 

Conference Event at Stanhill Court Supplied AV Installation by The Sound & Light Hire Company

The event was in the IT industry. A select group of under 100 delegates had paid for tickets to see several key movers and shakers in the industry give their thoughts on current hot topics within the industry. 

Our job was to assist the speakers and event organisers by providing an all-encompassing AV installation that more than catered for the needs of the audience and the size of the function room.

Being IT guys, we didn’t need to provide some of the necessary equipment such as laptops and HDMI cables (we usually do), but we did take care of the rest, as we shall now explain. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Projector and Screen Combination for Conference Event in Surrey

We started with supplying and installing one of our top-of-the-range LED projectors, which we complemented with a tripod projector screen of 7′ x 5′. Once we had set them both up, we liaised with the organiser and the keynote speakers to connect everything up, adjust projector settings, and quickly conduct a dry run to ensure they were comfortable with everything. 

Once comfortable, we then moved on to the sound requirements. Since there were only 100 delegates in attendance and the room wasn’t enormous, we could get away with just a couple of PA speakers. We then supplied and set up a couple of radio lapel mics for the presenters, ran everything through a mixing desk, and conducted sound checks to ensure everything sounded A-OK. 

We then left the organisers to it as they started the conference after the initial coffee and pastries. We returned late in the afternoon to pick everything up, and the host said everything went off without a hitch, which is precisely what we wanted to hear.

Event Production Provided By The Sound & Light Hire Company for Christmas Party at Farleigh Golf Club

Farleigh Gold Club Surrey Wedding Venue

Event Production Provided By The Sound & Light Hire Company for Christmas Party at Farleigh Golf Club 

Sitting at the end of our mile-long lavender-lined driveway is the contemporary clubhouse of Farleigh Golf Club. Boasting 350 acres of grounds and fairways, this members-only golf club doubles as an exclusive events venue for all kinds of celebrations and functions. 

Every year, the site hosts several Christmas parties, and we were called in to help deliver an evening booked for a local company celebrating their hard work over the past 18 months. With employees treated to the Platinum Package, the pressure was on us to make sure everyone had an evening to remember. 

Thankfully, our team was more than up to the task, as we shall now explain. 

Total Event Production Supplied and Installed to Surrey Christmas Party 

The event’s format was very familiar, with a cocktail reception, three-course dinner, and then live entertainment and dancing until carriages at around midnight. While we were primarily concerned with the live entertainment elements, we did also help out with many of the more decorative components of event production.

We supplied several white venue drapes and even brought in a snow machine to cover the function room in the white stuff (next to the Christmas tree). By the time we had finished setting up, the place looked as close to a winter wonderland as you could get! 

With the decorative elements out of the way, it was time to focus on the more technical side of things concerning live entertainment. 

Sound Equipment, Disco Lighting Fixtures, and Dance Floor Supplied to Surrey Christmas Party

We quickly moved on to set up all of our professional sound equipment, including a premium sound system from d&b audiotechnik, wireless microphones for announcements, and we also installed the DJ booth and decks for the booked entertainer. 

Our team then moved on to setting up the dance floor area. We started by rigging disco lights in their dedicated positions (this function room has purpose-built lighting attachments) before moving on to setting up more specialist equipment such as the laser and smoke machines. 

With the disco lighting hire display taken care of, we switched our attention to the dance floor. This was a white LED starlit dance floor (one of our most popular hire items), and, given the size of the room, we were happy that we managed to squeeze in a 10m x 5m dance floor, giving the partygoers plenty of room to get their groove on. 

When we came back towards the end of the evening to pack everything up, it was clear that everyone was having a great time, and we got a big thumbs up from the client for a job well done. Once proceedings were over, we dismantled everything, loaded it back onto the vans and then transported it back to our warehouses, ready for the next Christmas party.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provides Sound, Lighting, DJ Equipment, and Dance Floor to Garden Party at Oatlands Park Hotel

Oatlands Park Hotel Surrey Wedding Venue

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provides Sound, Lighting, DJ Equipment, and Dance Floor to Garden Party at Oatlands Park Hotel

Situated in Weybridge, Surrey, is the Oatlands Park Hotel. Boasting extensive grounds that include over 10 acres of parkland overlooking the stunning Broadwater lake and far-reaching views over the Surrey countryside, this is a perfect venue for many different types of occasions. 

Standing on the site of the grand Tudor Palace of Henry VIII, monarchs including Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I also resided at Oatlands during their reign. Today, however, the hotel hosts all kinds of events, including conferences and weddings. 

It was recently the site for which our client had planned an exclusive garden party for friends and family who had been separated due to the pandemic and hadn’t seen each other in over 18 months. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company were called in to help with a number of event production elements. Being the preferred event production partner for this illustrious hotel, we were more than happy to oblige. 

Garden Party Event Equipment Hire Provided by The Sound & Light Hire Company

The event was to be held in La Terrazza, a function suite that blends the outdoors with the indoors. Perhaps best described as an ultra-modern conservatory with sides that open fully, this was the perfect spot for enjoying the manicured lawns while benefiting from protection from the elements. 

The primary focus for the evening event was a three-course dinner before our team’s efforts were put to use for the post-dinner entertainment. The client had hired a local DJ, and we were charged with supplying everything he needed for his performance. 

The obvious place to start was with the DJ decks. In the end, he opted for a set of Pioneer CDJ2000NXS2s, which we hooked up to a premium PA system from d&b audiotechnik. With the principal sound considerations out of the way, it was time to move onto the lighting and wider dance floor area. 

Lighting and Dance Floor Hire for Exclusive Surrey Garden Party

While space was limited within La Terraza, we did manage to squeeze a small lighting truss structure into the space and affix plenty of disco lighting fixtures. Next, we moved onto the dance floor, installing a 16ft x 16ft white LED dance floor for the party guests. Lastly, we covered the DJ booth and surrounding area in a starlit draping to match the dance floor we had provided. 

Once everything was set up, and we had gone through a quick run-through with the DJ, we left the site to allow everyone to enjoy their party. When we arrived back at the venue close to midnight, it was clear that everyone had enjoyed a fabulous evening. The client later reached out to us and thanked us for all of the hard work and would recommend us to anyone else thinking of hosting a party in the near future, which we really appreciated.
