A Members Club Wedding at The Savoy

The ballroom's own theatre stage became the club's drawing room: dozens of family photographs in gold frames, hung on ribbon strips beneath the Savoy's silk swagged curtains, with blush and teal velvet armchairs and candlelit brass tables in front. Guests spent the whole evening drifting up to find their own faces on the wall.

Across the room, our bespoke curved bar in mirror-polished gold caught every flicker of light, dressed with fringed velvet table lamps and towering florals (the floral design provided separately), with leopard print and botanical velvet stools pulled up to it. Between them ran the dancefloor: black, lined in gold, laid straight over the Savoy's famous carpet.

The bespoke black stage stepped down onto the dancefloor by its own gold-clad stairs, backed by swagged black drape and a ShowTex matrix, and lit entirely from retro sources: Robe piklPATTs, vertical sunstrips, Portman P1 lamps hung like lanterns at different heights, and matrix lamp panels flanking the floor. The effect is candlelight at room scale.

The matching art deco DJ booth, in black with copper geometric linework, sat beside the drum riser and keys, so the music never stopped between the band's sets. An LED screen carried content through the evening, and the whole rig was designed and operated by our own lighting team.

A full live band, horns, strings, singers and rhythm section, played through a d&b audiotechnik system, V-Series and Y-Series, tuned to the Lancaster Ballroom's acoustics with sound engineered in house from soundcheck to the last song.

When the party hit, moving heads on the stage floor and the truss overhead cut cool blue beams through the haze while the retro lamp wall glowed warm behind the band, the members club holding its nerve right through the last dance.

The Savoy is one of the world's most famous hotels, and its event spaces reward production that respects the room. Working in a five star landmark means quiet load-ins, immaculate cable discipline and set pieces finished like furniture, which is exactly how we build.
