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.
