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.

Event Lighting, Professional Sound Equipment, and Starlit Dance Floor Provided to Charity Event at Coltsford Mill

Coltford Mill Wedding Venue Surrey

Event Lighting, Professional Sound Equipment, and Starlit Dance Floor Provided to Charity Event at Coltsford Mill

Coltsford Mill is a hidden gem of an events venue, set in a secluded waterside location within the Eden River Valley on the Surrey and Kent border. While the charming Coltsford Mill is often associated with wedding events, the venue hosts all kinds of occasions throughout the year. 

Recently, we were called in to help out for a special one-off charity fundraiser that was taking place at this prestigious location. The premise of the event was a three-course dinner delivered by the in-house catering team (headed up by a first-rate Parisian chef) followed by drinks and dancing.    

So without any further delay, let’s walk you through our involvement in this exclusive event. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Production Services to Charity Fundraiser 

Our brief for this event was straightforward since Coltsford Mill provided a decent chunk of the event production (such as tables, chairs, decorations etc.) themselves. We were to provide the event lighting, sound equipment, and dance floor for the occasion. 

Upon arrival at the venue, we turned our attention to the mood lighting, installing a number of wireless uplighters that emitted a soft shade of blue that matched the charity’s branding colours. We also wrapped fairy lights around the metal supporting poles that remain within the Mill Room.

Next up was the equipment for the live entertainment and the dance floor. 

Sound, Lighting, and Dance Floor Provided to Coltsford Mill 

The remainder of our event brief was focused on the live entertainment, which came in the form of a live DJ set from a prominent local artist. We liaised with him before the event and provided him with everything he had requested, including Pioneer DJ decks, a DJ booth, and several dance floor lighting fixtures, including a laser machine and a strobe light. 

We then set up a professional PA system for him, including several passive speakers and sub-bass units, and supplied a wireless Shure microphone for any announcements he needed to make.  

Lastly, our focus shifted onto supplying and installing one of our starlit dance floor options. The client decided to go for our black version, and we supplied matching starlit venue drapes to give the dance floor area an extra touch of class and exclusivity.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Wedding Event Production Services to Marden Park Mansion

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Wedding Event Production Services to Marden Park Mansion 

Set within a sprawling 700 acres of country estate within a serene Surrey Hills valley is Marden Park Mansion. A part of Woldingham School, this exclusive-use 19th century mansion sits on the Surrey / Kent border and offers couples the chance to feel like king and queen for the day in one of the most picturesque settings Surrey has to offer.  

With plenty of licensed event spaces and manicured lawns and ornamental gardens, this venue might just take the crown for Surrey’s most exclusive wedding venue. As event production partners for this venue, we love coming here and helping couples create their vision of a perfect wedding.

That was the case just a few months ago as we helped a betrothed couple celebrate their special day in the autumn sunshine. So let’s tell you a little bit more about how we helped create the perfect wedding event production. 

Event Production Supplied to Exclusive Surrey Wedding Venue

We started outdoors, where the post-ceremony drinks reception was to be held (before the dinner and dancing of the main wedding reception). 

There was a large and imposing pergola which we softened by wrapping wedding fairy lights around it. Next, we set up a couple of battery-powered PA speakers to play gentle background music while guests milled about the patio area with their glasses of prosecco. 

Of course, this was merely the beginning of our efforts and the bulk of the work was contained within the main reception room. 

Sound, Lighting, Dance Floor, and Venue Draping Supplied to Surrey Wedding 

Moving into the main reception area, our first task was setting up the room to look as the couple had requested via the in-house wedding coordinator. We started with setting up the white wedding venue drapes, which hung from the ceiling and other strategic locations. We complemented these drapes with wireless venue uplighters that gave off a soft white glow in keeping with the overall theme. 

Next, we moved on to the live entertainment’s technical requirements. We supplied and installed one of our smaller indoor stage hire options and then began work on the professional sound equipment. The bride and groom had booked a live band, which we then liaised with during the lead up to the event to ensure we supplied everything they needed. 

In the end, we provided vocal and instrumental mics from Shure, an all-inclusive PA system from d&b audiotechnik, and we ran everything through a Midas digital mixing desk. Our sound engineer stayed on for the duration of the event to ensure the live band sounded every bit as good as they should. 

The final act was the dance floor area. We started by constructing a small truss structure and rigging it with a range of disco lighting fixtures before moving onto the dance floor itself. We installed a 150 square-metre LED dance floor, which twinkled under the guests’ feet as they danced the night away.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Event Production to Art Exhibition and Party at Joldwynds

Joldwynds Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Event Production to Art Exhibition and Party at Joldwynds

It’s fair to say that Joldwynds is one of the most unique event venues in all of Surrey. This Grade II listed building was built in the 1930s and features striking architecture. The one-of-a-kind venue sits on Holmbury Hill, boasting incredible views of the surrounding Surrey countryside. 

It was at this stunning location that there was a recent art exhibition-cum-party that we were tasked with helping on the event production side of things. Our event brief was split in two, with the first aspect focused on the exhibition and the second element that required our help was supplying and installing the technical infrastructure for the party and live entertainment.  

So let’s take you through our work, starting with the art exhibition. 

Event Lighting and Sound Equipment Supplied to Surrey Art Exhibition 

The exhibition was showcasing predominately interactive digital art installations, and we were contacted to help with a number of event production elements. The first of which was supplying and installing a number of flat screen TVs upon which the artists’ works would be displayed. We also helped with the sound element of some installations, providing PA speakers where necessary. 

Lastly, for some of the more traditional art pieces, we rigged pinspots above the pieces so that they could be shown in their best light as it were. With all of those elements taken care of, our team moved on to set up the event equipment for the party scheduled to take place immediately after the exhibition. 

Sound and Lighting Hire for Party at Surrey Mansion 

Once the art exhibition had come to a close, the paying guests were invited across to the other side of the property to listen to speeches from the artist and curators responsible for the exhibition before opening the floor up to the catered buffet, drinks, and eventual dancing. 

As you might have guessed, we were placed in charge of the entertainment element, namely the music. There was a small live band booked, and we helped them by supplying microphones, PA speakers, a couple of floor-based stage monitors, and power amps. 

We had one of our sound engineers on standby to oversee the mixing, and our lighting technicians had erected a few light stands upon which stage lighting fixtures were perched on top. Since the space was quite tight, we opted for a few spotlights, stage washes, and PAR cans. 

This tight-knit event was a resounding success, and it was lovely to see everyone celebrating their hard work in the months leading up to the exhibition. We were also completely in awe of this unusual venue and hope to be back again soon. 

Hire Your Event Equipment and Support Services from The Sound & Light Hire Company Today 

No matter the size or scale of your event, we can supply, install, and oversee the operation of your event equipment at an affordable price.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Sound, Lighting, and Dance Floor to Birthday Party at Woodlands Park Hotel

Woodlands Park Hotel Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Sound, Lighting, and Dance Floor to Birthday Party at Woodlands Park Hotel

Woodlands Park Hotel is located in the heart of Surrey and boasts a long and prestigious history of hosting events. This events venue has even been frequented by the likes of the Prince of Wales and actress Lillie Langtry.

Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, Woodlands Park Hotel offers a variety of well-appointed function rooms that can cater for anywhere between 10 to 200 guests. It was one of these rooms that our client had booked for an 18th birthday bash for their daughter. 

They then reached out to us to provide all of the equipment needed to ensure that the event was every bit as memorable as it should be. So let’s tell you a little more about how we went about achieving that goal. 

Event Lighting Supplied to 18th Birthday Party at Woodlands Park Hotel 

We started with the event lighting for the room. We were in the Cornwall Suite, which boasted two impressive chandeliers and huge bay windows that let plenty of natural light in. We started with placing wireless room uplighters along the room’s perimeter and setting them to emit a deep purple glow as requested. 

We then moved onto the bay windows, adorning them with fairy lights that really came into their own once darkness fell. Lastly, the middle set of bay windows had a set of french doors opening out onto a patio and lawn area. We spruced up this outdoor area by running festoon lights from elevated anchor points (criss-crossing) to make the space feel warmer and more inviting. 

The final element of the lighting setup concerned the dance floor area. We rigged a small truss to go over the DJ booth and added several disco lighting fixtures, a laser machine, and a smoke machine to complete the lineup. 

Sound Equipment and Dance Floor Supplied and Installed to Surrey Birthday Party 

Next up, we set up the sound equipment, which included several PA speakers, subwoofers, power amps, and we also supplied the DJ equipment for the person overseeing the music for the evening. We also supplied a Shure wireless microphone and ran everything through a mixing desk overseen by one of our skilled sound engineers. 

Lastly, we installed one of our signature LED starlit dance floors. Given the Cornwall Suite is quite a large function room, we were able to install a 20m x 10m dance floor, giving the guests 200 square metres to work with!

Whether you are planning a celebration such as a birthday or something much grander (such as a wedding), our team boasts decades of experience concerning event equipment hire and production services.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide AV Installation for Business Training Event at Reigate Manor Hotel

Reigate Manor Hotel Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide AV Installation for Business Training Event at Reigate Manor Hotel 

Perched on the edge of Redhill, Surrey is the Reigate Manor Hotel, an elegant 18th-century manor house that is now used to host various events, including weddings and conferences. Its two-faced history is reflected in the two different areas this venue offers. With several suites and function rooms available to book, this venue caters to all party sizes and occasions.  

The Surrey Chambers of Commerce recently booked the Reigate Manor Hotel to carry out a digital marketing training event for employees of local companies. To prepare for such an event, The Sound & Light Hire Company were hired to provide an AV installation capable of handling the 100 or so guests in attendance. 

As this sort of work is our bread and butter, we were more than happy to oblige. So let’s tell you a little more about the work we carried out. 

AV Installation Supplied to Leading Surrey Events Hotel

As it turned out, the event was set to take place in the suite known as the Garden Room. The seats were arranged in rows (or a “theatre” format, if you prefer) to maximise the number of people that could be squeezed into the space to listen to the training workshop instructor. 

Essentially, our job was to ensure that the instructor had everything he needed to carry out the training from a technical standpoint. That started by supplying him with a laptop so he could set up his PowerPoint presentation via USB. We then connected that laptop up to a state-of-the-art projector positioned on a free-standing desk nearby. 

We then erected a projector screen and began adjusting the projector settings to ensure it filled the entire screen in the correct proportions. Our next job was to move on to the sound, as we shall now explain. 

Professional Sound Equipment Installation at Reigate Manor Hotel

After we had handled the visual elements, it was time to move on to the sound equipment. We started by supplying a Shure radio lapel mic for the instructor as he needed his hands free during the presentation. 

We then ran that mic through a couple of PA speakers placed at either side of the projector screen and another pair of battery-powered PA speakers located at the rear of the seating area, just to make sure those at the back had adequate coverage. Going battery-powered allowed us to save on unsightly power and data transfer cables running from the front to the back of the room, which could have also presented a trip hazard. 

All in all, this certainly wasn’t the most extensive AV installation we’ve ever completed. However, our client was thrilled with the setup, and the event was a great success. We have already been booked again to take care of the AV requirements for the next training event in this series. 

Contact The Sound & Light Company Today for Your AV Installation Requirements 

The Sound & Light Hire Company has supplied and installed AV installations at professional events for more than 20 years. Our experienced team can provide you with a full range of audio visual services, including lighting fixtures, conference sets, and professional sound systems. 

Along with the installation, we are able to supply experienced and highly-skilled personnel to oversee tasks such as sound mixing. When you contact us about your requirements, we can also arrange a site visit so that one of our team can spend some time planning the AV installation on your behalf or assisting you in making these plans. 

So if you are in the process of planning a private or corporate event that requires a professional AV installation, make sure to contact a member of our team on 0800 861 1136 today to discuss your requirements.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Wedding Production Services to Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel

Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Wedding Production Services to Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel

Mercure Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel is one of Surrey’s most exclusive wedding venues. This charming barn-based venue in Dorking offers a rustic yet contemporary setting for couples looking to tie the knot. In particular, the charming Tithe Barn overlooks the River Mole and offers incredible views of Box Hill, making it the perfect place for a wedding ceremony or reception. 

It was to provide the setting for our first wedding of 2022, a lovely intimate affair that took place across the bank holiday weekend. So, with the background set, let’s tell you all about our work on this project! 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Production Services to Wedding in Dorking, Surrey

As mentioned, we were tasked with providing a full suite of event production not already provided by the venue. In this specific case, that turned out to be everything bar the tables, chairs, and dance floor. 

Our job was to transform the barn area into a space that reflected the wedding decor ideas the couple had come up with. So, we initially decorated the space with white venue drapes hung from strategic points along the wooden ceiling beams and from the Minstrel’s gallery, right down the floor in some places.

We then ran wedding festoon lights across the wooden ceiling beams and wrapped the vertical beams in fairy lights to give the room a magical feel. We finished the decorative/mood lighting setup with a couple of banks of wireless uplighters on either side of the room, which lit up the walls in a rich shade of purple.

We added the finishing touches lighting-wise by custom-manufacturing and installing a neon letter lighting installation with the couple’s name and the wedding date. 

Professional Sound and Lighting Equipment Supplied to Leading Surrey Wedding Venue

Once we had taken care of the decor-related production, it was time to move on to the technical infrastructure. Given the nature of the venue (and the equipment they had in-house), there was no need for a stage or dance floor, which we typically supply for a wedding of this size. 

Thus, our focus turned to supplying and installing professional sound and lighting equipment. We started with a pair of RCF PA speakers and subwoofers for the DJ and his requested Pioneer DJ system before rigging a truss over the dance floor area to affix the dance floor lighting fixtures, including a couple of Big-Eye moving heads, a laser machine, and some LED disco lights. 

It certainly wasn’t the most extensive wedding sound and lighting setup we had ever installed. However, we think we hit the nail on the head with this one. The dance floor lighting setup was easily visible from across the room and looked great as the bride and groom took to their first dance as a married couple.

Contact Us Today for Your Surrey Wedding Production Requirements

The Sound & Light Hire Company is regarded as Surrey’s leading event production company, and we boast decades of experience working in the wedding events industry. From designing and installing wedding stages to supplying wedding marquees and outdoor power supplies, we can do it all. 

So whether you’re planning an outdoor wedding under the stars or a quaint winter wedding like the one described above, make sure to get in touch with a member of our wedding planning team to discuss your ideas. 

We are available seven days a week on 0800 861 1136.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Conference AV Installation to Wotton House

Wotton House Wedding Venue in Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Conference AV Installation to Wotton House

Located in Dorking, Surrey is the 17th Century Grade II listed Wotton House. This events venue is a stunning country estate hotel surrounded by ornate Italian gardens, temples, ponds, and babbling brooks with pretty little bridges over them. In fact, the gardens are deemed of such historical interest they have been given a Grade II listing in addition to the house.

However, our focus was on the interior as we were contacted by a client who had booked the majestic Wotton Suite for their conference. While the space does have some AV equipment in place, they decided that they needed more by way of event production to ensure the event was everything they had envisioned.

So without further ado, let’s tell you about our work. 

Conference Set Installation at Wotton House for Surrey Conference  

We started with the conference set, which was a raised platform that spanned the front of the room. While one of our preset designs fitted in the space, we customised it with the logos and the clients’ branding. We then completed the conference set with several chairs and a podium for the guest speakers. 

The chairs in the room were laid out in the “theatre” format, allowing just under 250 delegates to fit comfortably within the four walls of the conference suite. As mentioned, while the suite does have equipment included, the client decided that we would come in and offer upgraded versions of their in-house devices, as we shall now explain. 

AV Installation for Surrey Conference at Wotton House 

The first item we replaced was the in-house LCD projector, providing a state-of-the-art Panasonic 4K projector in its place. We also provided a matching projector screen that was considerably larger than the existing in-house offering. 

Next, we offered a complete suite of professional sound equipment, including six PA speakers and a set of Shure wireless microphones. We then ran all of those elements through a Midas digital mixing desk. Our sound engineer was also on hand to balance everyone’s levels during the event.

Next, we set up a professional lighting installation, complete with a ceiling-mounted truss. We affixed several spotlights and stage washes to achieve the desired look for the clients. We also added a couple of Big-Eye moving heads to add a little more excitement for when the headline guest and keynote speakers walked out on stage. 

Last but by no means least, we also set up a gobo projector to beam the name and logo of the event across the back wall and ceiling of the conference suite, adding a genuine touch of professionalism that the client really appreciated. 

Overall, the event was a great success. The client thanked us for all of our hard work given that we only had a few hours at the venue to get everything set up, monitored and double-checked before the event began. 

Speak to The Sound & Light Hire Company Regarding Your Surrey Conference Today

At The Sound & Light Hire Company, we are experts at delivering and overseeing professional AV installations. Whether you are planning a conference like the one described above or an awards evening or corporate event, we have the equipment, expertise, and personal service to make your event a runaway success.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Event Production to Wedding at De Vere Horsley Estate

De Vere Horsley Tower Wedding Venue in Surrey

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Event Production to Wedding at De Vere Horsley Estate 

Nestled within over 70 acres of sweeping Parkland, Horsley Towers within the Horsley Estate is one of Surrey’s most extravagant and exclusive wedding venues. The venue was built in 1820 and was the ancestral home of the revered Lovelace family. 

Today, its modern and contemporary interior blended with original character features such as tiled cloisters make it the perfect place to celebrate the most romantic rite of passage. 

As a preferred supplier, we tend to help most of the weddings held here with event production. However, we are still in awe every time we arrive. And, since no two weddings are the same (there are several reception and ceremony options at this venue), there are always different challenges to meet and overcome. 

With that in mind, let’s tell you more about the last time we were on-site to provide a turnkey event production package for a couple tying the knot at a local church before using Horsley Towers as their reception venue. 

Event Lighting Supplied As Part of Turnkey Event Production for Surrey Wedding Reception

The first task involved setting up all of the event lighting. We were working in the magnificent Great Hall, and, as we have done in the past, we hung wedding festoon lighting from the Minstrel Gallery right across the hall to the other end. We did this several times to create a floating bed of festoon lights, which added a real magical touch to proceedings. 

We then moved onto the reception floor and started work on the mood lighting. We used a fleet of our Chauvet wireless uplighters to bring the architectural features such as the ornate wooden panelling to life. We then liaised with the venue stylist to ensure that the shades of purple emitted from these lights were in keeping with the overall wedding decor theme and then tweaked their programming accordingly. 

It gave the room a magical ambience, especially as darkness fell. Suddenly the canopy of festoon lights came into their own, and the uplighters created a sense of magical twilight. 

Sound Equipment, Stage, and Dance Floor Supplied to Surrey Wedding Venue

With all the lighting set up, it was time to move on to the other vital elements of event production. We started with the stage. We had to get creative as our traditional wedding stage options wouldn’t fit in the space. Of course, we knew this in advance having worked there so many times before. So we delivered one of our modular roofless designs, which are perfect for live bands and DJs. 

With the stage set up, we started rigging the sound and the stage/disco lighting. The entertainment for this particular wedding reception was a live band, and we liaised with them in the days leading up to the end to ensure that they had everything they needed. 

As you would expect, we provided them/our clients with a comprehensive suite of sound equipment, including but not limited to: 

  • PA speakers
  • Stage monitors
  • Subwoofers
  • Power amps
  • Instrumental mics
  • Wireless vocal mics 
  • Digital mixing desk 

We also supplied an on-site engineer who was in charge of mixing them on the night. Once our lighting technicians had finished rigging the small truss with disco fixtures, it was time to move on to the last piece of the puzzle, the dance floor. 

As requested, we installed a white wedding dance floor, complete with LEDs that lit up the floor in a sparkling effect. We matched them with a few starlit backdrops to give the dance floor area an extra element of “pizzazz.” 

We had excellent feedback from the clients and Horsley Estate’s wedding coordinator (as is par for the course!), and we’re sure it won’t be long before we are back to take care of all of the technical infrastructure for another wedding.

PA System, DJ Equipment, Event Lighting, and Dance Floor Supplied to School Prom at Hartsfield Manor

Harstsfield Manor Wedding Venue in Surrey

PA System, DJ Equipment, Event Lighting, and Dance Floor Supplied to School Prom at Hartsfield Manor

Situated on the edge of the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is the beautiful Victorian stately home, Hartsfield Manor. Set in 16 acres of private Surrey countryside on the outskirts of Betchworth, this venue is the perfect location for all kinds of private functions and events. 

As an approved event production supplier for this venue, we were recently tasked with supplying the technical infrastructure for a prom night organised by students from one of the local secondary schools. 

So, without any further delay, let’s dig into our involvement in this wonderful occasion and recap the services we rendered. 

The Sound & Lighting Hire Company Offer Event Production Services to Prom Night at Hartsfield

We started by setting everything up for the DJ for the evening, who was one of the school students. We supplied a DJ booth and Pioneer decks. As they were unfamiliar with them, our on-site engineers provided him with a bit of on-the-spot training, and he was up and running in no time. 

Once we had gone through the basics, it was time to put some meat on the bones for the event production, starting with the sound equipment. We installed a high-quality PA system, complete with a couple of passive speakers, a few subwoofers, and a couple of power amps. This setup was more than powerful enough for the 100 or so students in attendance. 

Next, it was time to move on to the lighting. 

Event Lighting and Dance Floor Hire Supplied to School Prom in Surrey 

We started with mood lighting. The function room provided us with a blank canvas to work with, and we decided to go with a combination of wireless uplighters and fairy lights strewn across the ballroom. The uplighters were set to a deep shade of purple that completely transformed the room’s ambience and worked really well with the dance floor lighting ensemble. 

We rigged a truss structure for the dance floor area that housed a number of disco lights, a laser machine, and the obligatory smoke machine. We also directed a few spotlights at the glitterball we had positioned over the dance floor. 

Lastly, we installed a raised LED starlit dance floor for the students. In total, it spanned a whopping 150 square metres – equating to more than a square metre per person! 

Once the event had concluded, we arrived back at Hartsfield Manor to dismantle everything and load it all back onto our vans before carting it all back to the warehouse. Although the event was in its dying embers when we came back, it certainly looked as though everyone had a great time.

From Proms to School Discos, Speak to The Sound & Light Hire Company Regarding Your Event Production Requirements
