Jeevan & Megha's English Garden Under Glass at Dallas Burston Polo Club

The structure came from The English Marquee Company: 35 metres by 20, a black iron frame and glass to the ridge, so you could see the sky over dinner and watch the grounds go dark around you as the night got going. A glass room is a gift and a problem at once. You get sunset for free (the photographs at seven o'clock are lit by nothing of ours). You also get no ceiling to hide a rig in, and walls that hand every light straight back to you. So we rigged off the frame itself, chandeliers and moving lights along the ironwork, kept the glass clear, and let the building do what it is good at.

We printed the dancefloor as a mirror with a trailing foliage pattern across it and J&M in a ring at the centre, so the first dance happened on their own initials. The DJ booth was printed in the same mirror finish, and behind it stood a central LED screen with white drape panels either side, each edged in a strip of LED. The screen did three jobs in one night: an English garden illustration for the arrivals, the floral monogram through dinner, and at sunset a valley in the Alps, the place the couple's seating plan photograph was taken. A mirror floor in a glass room is worth the print cost twice over. Everything above it, the chandeliers, the florals, the sky, lands on it a second time.

Two DJs and a drummer, on one stage, all night. DJ H and DJ Arvee shared the decks in the mirror booth and Vik Drums played a full kit beside them, live over the mixes, which is the thing people talk about on the way home. A drummer on a DJ set is a gimmick unless the drummer can actually play with a DJ. Vik can. The kit was mic'd into the same d&b system as the decks, so when he came in on a bhangra drop it sat inside the mix rather than fighting it. We tuned the PA for a glass room that afternoon, which mostly means keeping the low end in the floor and out of the glass, then ran the speeches on four wireless mics through the same rig.
