This simple, effective canopy of lit paper lanterns looked amazing in the beautiful Wenman's Barn at Caswell House.

We installed this zig zag fairy light canopy with colour-changing LED uplighting for a wedding in the Tithe Barn at the Olde Bell in Hurley.

Disco lighting can be elegant too!

This is one of our favourite setups for the small barn at the Monks' Barn in Hurley.

This double gathered fairy light canopy is one of the largest designs we offer at Ufton Court. On this occasion it was installed alongside LED uplighting around the walls for a full-room effect.

This was one of our favourite weddings so far this year!

The theme was a mix of Disney and village fete. The couple and their families made so many thoughtful touches, the barn looked absolutely amazing…

On a recent visit to the Manor Farm Great Barn in Ruislip we installed dynamic uplighting around the dance floor, along with fairy lights along the barn’s pillars.

Our new wireless outdoor uplighters are fantastic for lighting up an outdoor space.

This gathered fairy light canopy at the Monks Barn in Hurley covered the full length of the main barn and featured a central 12-arm white chandelier as a focal point.

We took another trip to Wasing Park recently to install a fairy light star canopy and dynamic LED uplighting in the Castle Barn.

Here are our top tips for what’s hot this year and how to use lighting to make the most of your style. Whether you’re a rustic, elegant or country bride colour, sparkle and texture are in so be bold and think big!

The main barn at Lillibrooke Manor is a lovely space for a wedding reception. The barn is relatively long and thin, so when we were asked to install a fairy light canopy we recommended a design that’s gathered in the middle to create two gorgeous swags of lights that spread out as they sweep to the beams at the ends of the barn.

The result was breathtaking!

The fabric covered beams in the Orangery at Northbrook Park are relatively low, but we still managed to find a way to hang a large fairy light star canopy for this autumn wedding.

Another visit to the fabulous Castle Barn at Wasing Park, this time to install a star-shaped fairy light canopy with uplighting.

Even though this photo was taken during daylight hours it still looks great, but it really came to life in the evening. The fairy lights were dimmed slightly for a gorgeous, soft sparkle above the dance floor while the uplighters gave a warm pink glow to the room, matching the bride’s colour scheme.

Another chance to visit the fabulous Monks’ Barn in Hurley, this time installing chandeliers and fabric ceiling drapes in the main barn along with a giant mirror ball and disco equipment in the smaller dance barn.

We love the Monks’ Barn – always a pleasure to work there!

We firmly believe that the lighting for your evening entertainment deserves just the same care and attention to detail as the rest of your day. A few carefully chosen, coordinated effects can make the difference between a good party and a night to remember forever.

This beautiful photo was taken at a recent wedding where we supplied the DJ along with synchronised, colour-changing uplighting, a mirror ball suspended from the wooden beam above the dance floor, and a set of moving heads sweeping patterns and colours around the room.

A simple, elegant scheme of warm golds was the order of the day at the Monks’ Barn. We combined a huge fairy light canopy in the main barn with gold uplighting and a pair of crystal chandeliers in the smaller barn. Whatever the weather, using all gold lighting gave the barn a fantastic warm glow. Magic!
