The Venue
A barn, church, marquee, village hall or function room can all have different acoustic and practical requirements.
Number of Guests
Guest numbers and room layout influence sound coverage, speaker positioning and whether additional screens may help.
Speeches & Readings
Consider how many people will speak, whether they need to move around and if microphones will be shared.
Music & Entertainment
Will there be background music, a disco, recorded tracks, live musicians or a mixture of entertainment?
Lighting & Atmosphere
Think about how you want the room to feel at different stages of the occasion, especially from day into evening.
Access & Setup
Delivery access, set-up times, available power and any venue restrictions are all helpful to establish early.
