Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment; you need a fairytale venue to match that magic. Oakwell Hall in Birstall is exactly that – a place straight from a fairytale book; the perfect place to make your special day one to remember. The only way to make it even better? With the right lighting, the secret to enhancing the atmosphere and creating the perfect ambience.
Lighting done right can transform Oakwell Hall into a place of unimaginable, dreamlike beauty – and what more could you hope for on your big day? Here at Wedding Venue Lighting, we understand that lighting is more than just a practical element; it has the power to turn an already beautiful venue into something truly extraordinary.
Understanding the Venue
With a luscious garden and historic architecture, Oakwell Hall isn’t just an ordinary venue. With centuries of history woven into the very walls, it’s a venue that tells its own story, creating a beautiful setting for you to start creating yours. From saying your vows in the Great Hall to hosting your reception in the grounds, Oakwell Hall provides a serene environment for you and your guests to enjoy.
That’s where we come in – to further enhance the natural beauty of the venue. We offer a variety of lighting options to complement the history of the building as well as the theme of your wedding. We can help bring your vision of a perfect day to life with our lighting arrangements, which we can personalise to your taste.
Types of Wedding Lighting
Depending on the time of day, lighting can be used in different ways to enhance the venue and atmosphere of the space. For example, in the morning, a softer lighting approach can replicate the glow of the sunrise, casting a gentle light on the historic features of the building’s walls. As the evening falls, we can transform the garden and hall with twinkling lights, creating a magical atmosphere that dazzles your guests.
Here are just some of the lighting services we offer for Oakwell Hall:
- Fairy Lighting Ceiling Drapes: These delicate fairy string lights create a romantic and gentle atmosphere, perfect for any part of your celebration – the vows or reception.
- Festoon Lighting: Festoon lighting brings a whimsical charm to the venue, enhancing the rustic feel, and is perfect for both the indoor and outdoor spaces.
- Fairy Light Curtains: The perfect way to feature your first dance. The breathtaking backdrop makes for a beautiful focal point for any pictures.
- Rustic & White Light Up Letters: To add a fun vibe, we can provide light-up letters that spell ‘Love’, or even your initials or surname, to really personalise the area.
- Photobooth: To keep your evening guests entertained, we can set up a photobooth so they can take their own pictures and even keep them as a small souvenir from your day.
