Sound, Lighting, DJ Equipment, and Dance Floor Hire Provided to 21st Birthday Party at Southdowns Manor

Situated just over the Surrey border in Hampshire is the stunning events venue of Southdowns Manor. Located in the South Downs National Park, this 19th Century manor house has been reimagined as a boutique hotel and events venue that hosts all kinds of occasions such as weddings, birthday parties, charity events, and Christmas parties. 

In this specific case, the venue hosted an extravagant 21st birthday party. Despite being just outside of our typical operating radius, we were more than happy to help the parents of the lucky birthday boy put on what was a spectacular evening. 

So without further ado, let’s tell you a little more about the services we rendered for this incredible birthday party. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Sound and Lighting to 21st Birthday Party

We were to set up our equipment in The Banqueting Suite, which has a capacity for up to 150 guests. The event format was a dinner dance, meaning the party guests would sit down for a three-course meal before starting the party in earnest with music and dancing.

We liaised with the booked DJ beforehand to ascertain what he needed and supplied him with a package of top-notch sound equipment from d&b audiotechnik to more than fully meet his needs. We also helped with the DJ equipment itself, supplying digital Pioneer decks as requested. 

With the sound equipment in place, it was time to move on to the lights. We rigged a small truss over and above the DJ area and affixed several lighting fixtures, including but not limited to LED PAR cans, moving head lights, a laser machine, a smoke machine, and we even hung a glitter ball over the dance floor area. 

Speaking of dance floors, that was the final piece of the event production puzzle, so let’s tell you a little more about it. 

Dance Floor Hire Supplied to 21st Birthday Party at Southdowns Manor 

Last but certainly by no means least was the dance floor. We supplied our black starlit dance floor, with the built-in LEDs giving the appearance of stars twinkling underneath the dancing guests’ feet. 

We also matched the dance floor area with four banks of low-level starlit drapes to give an air of even more exclusivity to the venue and the dance floor area in particular. 

Once we had set everything up, we left the client to liaise with the key stakeholders to make sure everything went to plan and returned later on when the party was close to wrapping up. Upon re-entry to the venue, it was clear from the smiles on everyone’s faces (including the clients’) that everyone had enjoyed a fantastic evening.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Conference AV Equipment to Industry Seminar at Glenmore House

Situated in the heart of Surbiton, Surrey is Glenmore House. One of the finest examples of late Georgian architecture in the county, this event’s venue is also just a stone’s throw from Claremont Gardens. 

Inside, the famous Elizabethan Suite boasts a magnificent double-height ballroom, complete with sparkling chandeliers, minstrel’s galleries, and a modern bar area. This was the room to be used as the space for an industry seminar in the business sector that The Sound & Light Company recently helped with our event production services. 

So let’s tell you a little more about the background to the event and the equipment/support services we provided to this prestigious and exclusive event. 

Prestigious and Exclusive Seminar Event with One of London’s Biggest Names in Finance in Surbiton, Surrey

While the client strictly forbade us from revealing too much information about the event, the premise was pretty simple. The client had hired Glenmore House’s exclusive Elizabethan Suite to host an industry seminar with one of London’s most prominent hedge fund managers. 

There was a presentation from the star guest, before an open interview led by a prominent journalist from the Financial Times, a question and answer section, and lastly, a post-seminar networking session where all delegates got a chance to chat with each other and the famous guest speaker. 

So, now you’re up to speed with the event format, let’s tell you a little more about our work at Glenmore House. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Conference AV Equipment to Business Seminar

We were tasked with providing a projector and screen combination that was up to the task of the presentation. Seeing as we are supplying these devices to events week in, week out, this wasn’t an issue, and we supplied one of our brand new 4K projectors with a 7 x 5 ft screen. 

We hooked up this projector to a laptop via HDMI, and we helped the star guest by running through some on-the-spot basics and walking him through using the slide clicker. As it turned out, he was familiar with these setups and picked it all up immediately. 

Next, we supplied him with a wireless lapel mic run through a PA system more than powerful enough for the 100 or so delegates in attendance. For the interview session, we switched him and the journalist onto Shure wireless mics and ran everything through a digital mixing desk overseen by one of our sound engineers. 

Lastly, we set up a separate set of PA speakers closer to the bar area that played background music during the intermissions and the networking session towards the end of the evening. 

Event Lighting Supplied and Overseen By Technicians from The Sound & Light Hire Company 

The last event production element to mention was the event lighting we installed and operated during proceedings. We rigged a truss for the stage lighting towards the rear of the room, using spotlights and stage washes to illuminate the elevated platform that had been provided in-house. 

Overall the evening was well-received, and the client has already contacted us to look after the event production requirements for the next edition of this event.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Staging, Sound, and Lighting to Corporate Christmas Party at Lythe Hill Hotel

Resting on the borders of Surrey, Hampshire, and West Sussex is the Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa. The award-winning events venue is surrounded by countryside and combines old-world charm with a contemporary and elegant décor. 

While the original 16th century Tudor House sits overlooking a stunning lake against breath-taking views of the South Downs Countryside beyond, once inside, the facade unravels to reveal an extraordinarily modern and well-appointed interior for events such as weddings and conferences. 

Just a matter of weeks ago, we were asked to provide the staging, event lighting, and professional sound equipment for a corporate Christmas party taking place at this exclusive venue. We were, of course, more than happy to oblige despite the location being further afield than our usual radius of operations. 

So, without further ado, let’s tell you a little more about how we helped the client pull off a spectacular celebration of all their hard working staff. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Production to Surrey Christmas Party

The event was taking place in Lythe Hill’s Ivory Room. A stunning space with a valued glass ceiling and chandeliers that oozed modernity and exclusivity. The tables for the event were laid out in a banquet style, with one side of the room dedicated to the live entertainment area. 

This is where we came in. 

We started by erecting one of our modular live band stages. The client didn’t actually book a live band, but the stage doubles as an excellent elevated position for DJs and sound equipment, as was the case in this instance. 

We then set up and rigged a rectangular truss, with half of the lights beaming down onto the stage and the others (LED disco lights) beaming down onto the dance floor area. Fixtures included spotlights, moving heads, and LED PAR cans.

Next, we catered for the needs of the event’s sound system. In the end, in consultation with the client, we opted for a sizeable d&b audiotechnik PA system, complete with mid-top speakers, a couple of bass speakers, and a few power amps. We ran everything through a mixing desk and performed a quick soundcheck to ensure everything sounded A-OK before the DJ arrived to set up his equipment.  

We usually also supply dance floors to these events, but seeing as the Ivory Room has a built-in parquet flooring section that naturally doubles as a dance floor, there was no need in this instance. 

Finally, our team arrived back on-site to begin the dismantling process once the event entered its dying embers. It looked as though everyone had enjoyed a great night, and the client stopped by to give us their thanks for a job well done. 

Once we had packed everything up, it was time to head back to the warehouse, check everything over and get the devices ready for their next outing.

DJ, Sound & Lighting Equipment Hire Provided to Ruby Wedding Anniversary at Pembroke Lodge 

Situated on the highest point of Richmond Park is the beautiful grade II listed Pembroke Lodge, one of the city’s most popular events venues. With 11 acres of landscaped grounds, stunning views, and easily accessible from anywhere in London and Surrey, it’s not hard to see why. 

Last month, it was the setting for a lovely family celebration, a surprise 40th (ruby) wedding anniversary organised in secret by the happy couples now-adult children. They had booked out the majestic Russell Suite, characterised by its enormous Georgian windows that let in plenty of natural light and take you back to a bygone era. 

So without further ado, let’s tell you a little more about the work we did for this heart-warming occasion. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provides Event Production Services to Surrey Anniversary Celebration 

The first element of the event brief was to take care of the atmospheric and mood event lighting in the main room of the Russell Suite during the three-course meal. We placed a series of LED uplighters around the perimeter of the main room and had them cycle through shades of purples and reds as requested by the clients. 

At one end of the room, we supplied a couple of Shure wireless mics and had them connected up to a couple of PA speakers for the after-dinner speeches. Then, once the dinner and the speeches had come to pass, in time for the guests to spill out into the Phantom Room (disco and dancing room) and the Bertrand Russell room (where the fully-stocked evening bar is located). 

We were in charge of supplying and installing the necessary DJ, sound, and lighting equipment for the disco room.

Disco Lighting, DJ Equipment, and Sound Equipment Hire for Anniversary Party in Richmond Park

The client put us in touch with the DJ they had booked for the evening, and we ran through his preferences/requirements before arriving on-site to set everything up. Together, we settled on an obligatory professional DJ booth and a set of PIONEER CDJ2000NXS2 decks for his setup. 

Regarding the lights, we set up a small truss and affixed several LED disco lights, a couple of moving head lights, and a laser machine. We complemented this lighting arrangement with a smoke/fog machine to enhance the lighting effects. 

Last but by no means least, we hooked all of the DJ equipment up to a d&b audiotechnik PA system, complete with a couple of speakers, a couple of subwoofers, and a few power amps.

Sound & Light Hire Company Take Care of AV Installation for Residential Training Conference at Pennyhill Park

Pennyhill Park is one of the most prestigious hotels in Surrey. Set within over 120 acres of stunning Surrey countryside, this beautiful, ivy-clad 19th Century mansion blends Michelin-star dining with 124 luxurious rooms, making it a perfect location to host delegates on a residential training conference. 

Just 45 minutes from London, our corporate client felt that Pennyhill Park was the perfect setting to train their new graduate recruits over the course of a three-day residential conference course. 

We were called in to help with some of the audio visual (AV) installations required for the presentations and training sessions. While the Pennyhill team do offer in-house equipment, we came in and enhanced the existing stock and supplied a range of specialist equipment not offered by the in-house team. 

So let’s delve into a little more detail regarding the services we rendered. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide AV Installation Support to Company Hosting Residential Training Conference 

We initially started our work in one of the main meeting rooms, Sandringham, supplying and setting up a HD projector with a matching screen that was to be hooked up to the instructor’s laptop via HDMI cable. 

Given that the main room was hosting all delegates simultaneously, we also supplied and synced a couple of conference PA speakers and wireless microphones to ensure that the sound quality and volume were adequate given the number of people in attendance. For the Q&A session on the first day, we also supplied a number of wired microphones that we ran and controlled through a mixing desk. 

The training format meant delegates were often told to form teams and break out into separate rooms. This is where we came in once again to help with the AV installations required in each breakout area. 

Flat Screen TV Hire for Surrey Training Conference 

Such is the size of Pennyhill Park, there were plenty of meeting rooms that could be used as breakout spaces for their different teams to come together and work on specific tasks before reuniting in the main Sandringham room. 

Within these breakout spaces, the client instructed us to supply and install 52″ TV screens so the team leaders could coordinate collaboration between the groups. Once again, these were hooked up via HDMI to the respective team leader’s laptops. Since these meeting rooms were fairly small, we didn’t need to bother with PA speakers or mics. 

We then returned at the conclusion of the conference a few days later to dismantle everything. We had everything back in our vans and on their way to our warehouse within a couple of hours. The client thanked us for our work and had since booked us again to handle their AV requirements for their next residential training course. 

Speak to The Sound & Light Hire Company Regarding Your Conference AV Requirements 

Whether you are planning an upcoming conference or corporate event, we are here to serve you if you need best-in-class AV equipment. From full 4K HD projectors to customisable projector screens, we have options to suit every occasion. We also boast professional sound equipment and cutting edge screen display technology. 

We can offer you preferential hire rates if you need the equipment for a number of days rather than a couple of hours and our experienced team of engineers and technicians are on hand to install and set everything up for you. Plus, we are more than happy to oblige if you need them during the event for activities such as sound mixing.

So do make sure to contact a member of our team on 0800 861 1136 to discuss the equipment hire requirements for your event. Alternatively, send an email to info@thesoundandlightinghirecompany.co.uk with your event details, and we will get back to you within 24 hours.
