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.
