Lighting, sound and power for weddings and private parties
Ceremony sound, speeches everyone can hear, lighting that changes with the day, and lighting for marquees and gardens. Delivered by our own crew with our own equipment. We work with planners, venues and marquee companies, under their name: see how we work with wedding organisers. Booking direct? Get in touch. If a planner or venue is already looking after your day, tell us and we will work through them.
Weddings
Every technical detail, from the vows to the last song
Wedding sound starts with the ceremony: discreet speakers and wireless microphones so the vows and readings carry to the back row without anyone noticing the kit. Then a PA for the speeches, the DJ or the band, with a technician who looks after the microphones so nobody taps one and asks if it is on.
Wedding lighting does the rest. Uplighting around the room in the couple's colours, festoon or fairy lights where the room needs warmth, and dance-floor lighting that arrives with the first dance. We plan it with the planner and the venue, work inside noise limits and listed-building rules, and keep out of the photographs.
- Ceremony and speech sound that reaches the back row
- Lighting that changes with the day, from ceremony to first dance
- Cabling and weatherproof fittings for marquee and outdoor events
- Quiet, well-presented crew who arrive early and leave without fuss
- One number to call for anything with a plug on it
Marquees and gardens
Marquee lighting and power, done safely
A marquee has no sockets and no rigging points. We bring the weatherproof fittings and the power distribution and cable runs for our own equipment, and we tell your marquee company or generator supplier what supply the night needs. We do not supply generators. Every item is PAT tested and checked in our warehouse before it travels.
Lighting for a marquee is about warmth and edges: festoon along the ridge, uplighting on the poles, a lit dance floor and enough light on the paths and loos that nobody needs a phone torch.
Private parties and marquee parties
How a job runs
How a wedding job runs
The same six steps on every event, whether it is a boardroom or a ballroom. You always know what happens next and who is doing it.
Brief
Send the date, venue and what the audience should see and hear. Rough is fine.
Site visit
We walk the space with you or the venue: power, access, sightlines.
Technical plan
Kit list, crew plan and a fixed quote you can put in front of a client.
Prep
Every system is built and tested in our warehouse before it travels.
Build and show
Our crew installs the kit, runs the tech with you and adapts if the plan moves.
De-rig
Out on schedule, venue left as we found it, a quick debrief the following week.
Questions we get asked
What planners and couples ask us
Can you cover the ceremony and the reception?
Yes. A discreet ceremony system with wireless microphones for the vows and readings, then a separate PA for speeches, the DJ or the band. One crew handles both.
Does someone stay on site?
Yes. A technician runs sound checks, looks after the microphones for speeches and is there when the band finishes.
Can you work with our venue's rules?
Noise limits, listed-building restrictions and set-up windows are normal for us. We liaise with the venue directly and follow their rules.
Can the lighting match our colours?
Uplighting and dance-floor lighting are colour-changing, so the room can move from soft dinner tones to your palette for the evening.
What if something fails on the day?
Every job carries backup microphones, spare cabling and a second playback source. All equipment is PAT tested and checked in our warehouse before it leaves.
How far ahead should we book?
Peak Saturdays go early. Three to six months is comfortable; we can often help at shorter notice, so ask.
What couples and planners say
We worked with Chris and the team at a wedding over the weekend, and they provided such a great service! Great quality equipment, and were so professional while on site on the day to make sure everything worked correctly.
They catered for all our needs, whilst at the same time being considerate of the venue's requirements. The staff blended into the background almost to the point I nearly forgot they were there!
