Wedding Stage, Event Lighting, Dance Floor, and Professional Sound Equipment Supplied to Asian Wedding at Northbrook Park

Straddling the Surrey and Hampshire border, Northbrook Park is a truly spectacular venue. Set within 120 acres of stunning countryside, this privately owned Grade II listed eighteenth-century manor house offers a choice of unique wedding settings to tailor a truly bespoke celebration.

It was recently the setting for an incredible Bengali wedding reception (with no less than a whopping 250 guests!). We became involved when the happy couple had instructed us to take care of all the technical event production elements. It’s fair to say we had our work cut out, but we brought out the big guns, as we shall now explain.  

Wedding Stage Hire for Asian Wedding in Surrey

The first and perhaps most crucial event production element we provided for our clients was the wedding stage. As those familiar with Asian wedding celebrations know, the wedding stage is of utmost importance, with the bride, groom, and other dignitaries taking their place on the platform at the head of the hired event space. 

We supplied one of our modular, elevated platforms for this specific wedding event and combined it with three-tiered steps leading up to it. While we often supply white wedding stages, we customised this particular one with rose-gold-effect plating, as was requested, so that it fitted in nicely with the rest of the wedding decor. 

With the stage taken care of, it was time to move on to the more technical aspects, such as the sound and lighting equipment. 

Sound Equipment, Event Lighting, and Dance Floor Hire Supplied to Asian Wedding at Northbrook Park

As mentioned, this is one of the largest weddings by way of attendees we have ever supplied our equipment and services to. Fortunately, since we supply clients such as music festivals, we are no strangers to supplying equipment capable of wowing audiences in the hundreds or even thousands. 

On the sound side, we supplied one of our premium PA systems from industry-leading brand d&b audiotechnik. We paired them with a couple of wireless mics for the DJs (yes, there were a couple of them), and we had our sound engineer monitor all of the sound through a Midas digital mixing desk. 

Concerning the lighting, the venue actually had dedicated rigging and anchor points for lighting fixtures, which certainly made our job more manageable. We used these locations to rig moving head lights, LED disco lights, and a couple of laser machines for good measure. 

Finally, in keeping with the white and gold decor theme, we supplied and installed a white starlit dance floor that sparkled underneath the many dancing feet! We managed to fit a staggering 35ft by 20ft dance floor into the event space, delivering 700 square feet of dance floor surface area!

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Event Lighting, Sound Equipment, and Dance Floor to Wedding at Cain Manor 

Nestled on the border between Surrey and Hampshire within the outskirts of Headley is Cain Manor. This charming Tudor manor barn looks as if it has been transported directly from the 16th Century and still looks unchanged from the outside, despite its modern interior. With roaring log fires and wooden beams, this exclusive-use wedding venue offers happy couples the chance to experience a ceremony or reception like no other. 

Cain Manor is one of Bijou’s wedding venues, and, given we are on their preferred supplier list, we were asked to handle many of the event production aspects. So without further ado, let’s delve into the details of this intimate and quaint celebration that we were privileged to be a part of. 

Event Lighting Supplied to Wedding Reception at Cain Manor

We began by installing an array of event and mood lighting for the dinner and speeches whilst also having one eye on the frivolity and dancing to come in the evening. We started with wedding festoon lighting. 

With the plentiful wooden beams within the property and the Music Room in particular (where the reception was held), intertwining these warm glowing fairytale-esque lights was a no-brainer. We started by draping them from the minstrels’ gallery rights across the main room. We also wrapped fairy lights around the wooden supporting beams to complete the rustic look.   

We then set up three banks of wireless uplighters along the two side walls and the back wall, respectively. Initially, we programmed them to emit warm shades of yellow to match the festoon lighting. However, when the time came for the happy couple and their guests to get in the party spirit, we switched them to a deep purple to better reflect the desired atmosphere. 

Last but by no means least, we also supplied an array of LED disco lights and a set of LED light-up letters that spelt the newly-wed couple’s names. 

Sound Equipment Supplied at Installed at Surrey Wedding Venue

Next, we built on the existing sound set up with the manor to supply an immersive PA system more than capable of entertaining the 100 or so guests in attendance. We supplied a couple of wireless mics for the speeches, and we complemented them with a couple of PA speakers, a few subwoofers, and a couple of power amps, all of which was run through a mixing desk.

This setup was put in place for the wedding DJ (it would have been more than overkill for the wedding speeches), and he was impressed with the quality of equipment we had supplied him with (the professionals always smile when they see the words d&b audiotechnik on the side of the speakers!). 

While it certainly wasn’t the most complicated sound setup we have provided to a wedding, it nevertheless proved to be more than ample, with the guests commenting on how good the sound was in the Music Room. 

Dance Floor Hire for Surrey Wedding Venue

The last remaining event production element we were in charge of was the dance floor hire. With the Music Room not being the biggest of spaces, we opted for a dance floor that would deliver maximum impact in return for a minimum footprint. That meant bringing our white starlit LED dance floor that perfectly offset the purple mood lighting delivered by our uplighters and stole the centre of attention after darkness fell. 

All in all, the event production element we supplied and installed came together brilliantly to deliver the perfect technical infrastructure for the wedding celebration that will live long in the memory for all of those in attendance.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Turnkey Event Production for Company Retreat at Langshott Manor

More a private house than a hotel, Langshott Manor is an exclusive use venue for events with a long and illustrious history. Set in complete seclusion and offering unrivalled flexibility and the utmost privacy, this location was chosen by a prominent London firm to host a three-day long retreat for many of its key staff members. 

The first two days involved training sessions, breakout sessions, and “blue-sky thinking” activities. The final day consisted of group and team-building activities before the retreat was brought to an end with a posh three-course dinner and dancing.    

As preferred AV equipment hire and event production supplier to this exclusive venue, we were recommended by the in-house events coordinator to take care of all technical equipment not covered by the venue. 

With that in mind, let’s tell you about the dual aspect of this turnkey event hire package, starting with the AV installation. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply and Install Conference AV Equipment at Exclusive Surrey Venue

As mentioned, the first couple of days were occupied by the more serious aspects of the retreat. There were training sessions, guest speakers, meetings, and open discussions covering various topics relating to the company. There needed to be a top-class AV installation for all of these activities to ensure everyone got the most out of them. 

For the main room, we installed a projector and screen combination, supplied wireless microphones for the presenters and instructors, and set up a small PA system so everyone in the room could hear the content delivered just as well as they could see it. 

The breakout sessions were in smaller rooms, so we needed to provide some more AV equipment, this time in the form of 52″ flatscreen TVs to help facilitate discussions and note down ideas. 

With two days of training, meetings and discussions, it was time for the last day of fun activities, with our team placed solely in charge of the entertainment. 

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Full Event Entertainment Setup for Company Retreat in Surrey

Even though there were just under 70 people in attendance at this retreat, we were under strict instructions to deliver the best possible technical setup for the audience size to ensure everyone had a great time. 

We duly obliged with a professional sound system hire package that would have handled an audience more than three times the size with ease. We ran those d&b audiotechnik speakers through a mixing desk handled by our on-site engineer, who liaised with the hired DJ to make sure everything was sounding as it should (we also supplied him with a Shure wireless mic) before the party kicked off in earnest.

Next, we had to get our thinking caps on to fit an all-singing, all-dancing disco lighting arrangement into what is an old and tightly proportioned Surrey manor house. In the end, we managed it with a small truss that we managed to rig in between wooden ceiling beams. Affixed to the truss was a range of disco lights, a laser machine, and a couple of big-eye moving head lights for good measure. 

Finally, we laid a small LED dance floor that twinkled under the feet of those dancing the evening away. 

Once the frivolity was over, we returned the next day to pick all equipment up and load it up into our vans. Judging by the looks of everyone in the morning, a good night was had by all!

The Sound & Light Hire Company Provide Turnkey Event Production to Wedding Event at Guildford Manor  

Guildford Manor Hotel & Spa is one of the most exclusive wedding venues in all of Surrey. Set in 10 acres of the Surrey Hills countryside, this boutique hotel provides a beautiful and romantic backdrop for any couple who decides to tie the knot here. 

We had the pleasure of recently providing a turnkey event production package to a happy couple for both the ceremony and the reception. We worked in tandem with Guildford Manor’s in-house wedding coordinator to supply, install, and oversee all aspects of event production not provided by this exclusive use venue. 

So, while the venue was able to provide event production elements such as the floral decorations, a red carpet, lanterns, starlit draping, an easel, and a cake stand & knife, we were in charge of the rest. 

So with that in mind, let’s walk you through our work on this wedding production, starting with the ceremony. 

The Sound & Light Hire Offer Event Production to Wedding Ceremony at Guildford Manor

As is often the case these days, the ceremony itself actually took place outside. At the end of the walkway for the outdoor ceremony was the outdoor Pavillion, which would house the happy couple during the exchange of rings and vows. 

We lined the walkway with two banks of wedding festoon lighting that gave off a lovely warm yellow glow in the late afternoon twilight. We also set up several wireless uplighters that were pointed at the Pavillion and nearby trees to accentuate their features and bring them to life. 

We also supplied a boom mic and a couple of speakers for the string quartet, and we provided the registrar with a lapel mic that we also ran through the same PA speakers. We had a sound engineer on-site to make sure everything ran smoothly and that the sound was nicely balanced. 

Once the ceremony was over, it was time for the reception, which we had been busy setting up the morning of the wedding. 

Turnkey Event Production for Surrey Wedding Reception

Celebrations moved indoors to the Lytton Strachey suite for the reception. Here, we were responsible for everything not covered by the hotel, including but not limited to the stage, sound equipment, event lighting, and dance floor hire. 

We started by constructing one of our live band stages before moving on to the professional PA system setup required by the professional wedding band. We installed and operated a comprehensive setup that included speakers, stage monitors, amps, subwoofers, and vocal and instrumental microphones, which we all run and monitored through a Midas digital mixing desk. 

Next, we erected a truss above and around the rear of the stage, which housed a few stage lighting fixtures as well as disco lights, a laser machine, and a couple of moving heads. Lastly, we started laying the dance floor, all 100+ square metres of it! The happy couple opted for our white starlit LED dance floor as it was very in keeping with the overall wedding decor theme. 

We had our sound engineer switch over from the ceremony to the reception. He was accompanied by a couple of our technicians who handled the stage and lighting respectively during proceedings.

The Sound & Light Hire Company Supply Professional Sound & Lighting Equipment to Garden Party at Warren House 

Sitting on the periphery of Richmond Park, Warren House is a hidden jewel in the Kingston upon Thames landscape. This Grade II listed Victorian manor house is set amongst the secluded Coombe Estate in Kingston and boasts an illustrious past before becoming an events venue. 

The five acres of grounds surrounding this illustrious building boast beautifully landscaped gardens that were the setting for a corporate garden party. With many of last year’s Christmas parties cancelled or postponed, the company in question used a more laid back summer garden party to celebrate the hard work of the staff during this unprecedented period. 

While the Warren House team handled the catering and cocktails, the client instructed us to supply and install sound and lighting for the entertainment, which came in the form of a DJ. So, without further ado, let’s tell you a little more about the sound and lighting setup we supplied to this exclusive event.

Sound and Lighting Hire Supplied to Leading Surrey Venue Warren House

Taking place in the lovely Warren House gardens, the party centred around an open-sided marquee. We were tasked with setting up an engaging sound and lighting setup at one end of the marquee to draw the attendees in the improvised dance floor area (it was just a section of the lawn). 

We arrived a few hours before the event to get to work. We started by setting up the PA system hire, which we slightly scaled back compared to some of our more typical installations. The idea was to have an audio system that was loud enough to fill the marquee with music but not so loud that it could no longer be possible for guests at the other end of the marquee to enjoy a conversation. 

With the speakers in place, we then set up the equipment for the DJ, which included installing a DJ booth and Pioneer digital decks for them to work with. 

Lastly, we then took care of the lighting. We used a combination of lighting systems to provide the right mood. We set up two banks of wireless uplighters to reveal and draw attention to the dancing area. Next, we set up a small truss to which we affixed a number of LED disco lights and a couple of moving head lights. 

It was a perfect mix since it wasn’t overbearing, but it was enough to provide an engaging light display to accompany the DJ playing many of the party classics.
