The Event: Mr. & Mrs. Strachan's Wedding Celebration
Venue: Longbourn Barn, Warwickshire
The Challenge:
The picturesque Longbourn Barn, set in the heart of Warwickshire, is renowned for its versatile spaces. Mr. & Mrs. Strachan desired a harmonious sound experience that seamlessly transitioned between the venue's main stage, indoor reception area, and scenic outdoor reception space. Beyond this, they wanted their personal music collection to resonate throughout these spaces, creating an ambiance that was truly their own. As the evening would progress, there was also the need for clear, uninterrupted speeches, culminating in a lively ceilidh session.
Our Solution:

Synchronized Sound: By integrating the client's music, we created a unified auditory experience across all areas. This means a guest could walk from the outdoor reception to the indoor area and experience a continuous flow of music, without missing a beat.
