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.
