Another visit to the Great Barn at Manor Farm in Ruislip. We wound the pillars with fairy lights with a double swag of lights in between. This barn is big and beautiful, and always looks great with a little added sparkle!

We went to the lovely Bix Manor again recently, where the beams in the main barn are great for hanging a fairy light canopy above the tables and dance floor area. As with many barns the beams and walls are at uneven angles, which makes for some interesting challenges getting the fairy lights to hang just right!

On this occasion we installed a relaxed, centre-gathered canopy of lights running along the length of the barn in two large swags. They looked gorgeous in the day and super sparkly at night during the disco.

Here’s a photo of one of our recent fairy light canopies. This barn was enormous! The fairy lights were installed in a high density parallel canopy across the beams and then the beautiful pom poms, which were hand-made by the bride and groom, were added.

Stunning!

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!

Fairy lights are fantastic but if you’re looking for something a little different, festoon lighting is worth considering. It provides good ambient light and the larger bulbs are a stylish touch to suit country fayre, vintage and elegant weddings.

Here are some photos of our festoon light canopy with gold uplighting at a wedding in the beautiful Monk’s Barn in Hurley.

The Great Barn is part of the Manor Farm estate and dates from around 1280. At almost 40m long, and with 12 pillars this barn is one of the largest we’ve worked at. A stunning space.

The beautiful Tithe Barn at Great Foster’s, Egham is one of our favourite venues. Superb staff and a location steeped in history make this a polished and elegant choice for a wedding. The barn works brilliantly with fairy lights, which make the large space warmer and more intimate.

The Stables at Tewin Bury Farm is a gorgeous, intimate venue for smaller weddings. Lanterns and fairy lights took the cosy and intimate feel to a new level and complemented the bunting, lace sashes, tea cups and birdcages for this vintage barn wedding beautifully.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen… a stunning marquee wedding where we provided lights, effects and disco.

Marquees are great for this kind of job because there’s flexibility to attach equipment to the ceiling and spread the effects.

The mirror balls and overhead installed lighting made the most of the effects, complementing the high spec disco set up which included wizard, moving heads and par cans.

Using a haze machine helps highlight the beams of light and creates a fantastic atmosphere.

Top quality sound, extension speakers and a DIY disco set up once the DJ went home made for a great party and a full dancefloor.
