Weddings
Weddings that
feel inevitable.
Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, dance floor. Sound, lighting, and reception music designed as one show. The crew that quotes is the crew on the night.
The brief
What we’re here to do.
Premium weddings have one rehearsal, and it's the day itself. Boutique estates, vineyards, marquee receptions, private island weddings. The kind of day where the production has to disappear behind the moment. We bring a senior crew, a full PA and lighting rig built for the room, and the discipline to make the audio invisible and the lighting feel like it was always there.

How we work
The way it actually runs.
-
Site visit before the day
We walk the venue with you and the planner, ceremony location, cocktail flow, reception room, where the PA reaches, where the lighting hits. The proposal reflects the actual room, not a generic spec.
-
Senior crew on the night
The same engineer in your proposal call is the one in the room on the night. No subcontracted handoffs. The crew arrives in time for a full soundcheck before guests, and stays through the last song.
-
One quote, one invoice
Sound, lighting, microphones, reception music coordination, crew, all on one proposal, one production schedule, one team. Wedding planners get one phone number. Couples get one point of contact.
-
Backup on every wedding
Spare PA, spare microphones, spare batteries, spare playback. Weddings happen once. We carry the redundancy that turns 'something will go wrong' into 'and nobody will notice'.
Disciplines on this work
The services we bring.
Each discipline below has a senior lead. On wedding production they work as one crew under one production manager — not separate vendors.
Wedding production — FAQ
Common questions on wedding production.
-
What's a typical Studio AV wedding production budget?
Wedding production with us tends to start in the $8–15k range for a single-venue reception with sound, lighting, microphones, and a single engineer. Premium multi-room or marquee weddings with full lighting design, reception music coordination, and a full crew typically run $20–50k+. We don't have a fixed package, every wedding gets a site visit and a quote scoped to the day. If budget is the constraint, we'll tell you upfront whether we're the right fit. -
Do you do photography or videography?
We offer event capture and product photography for corporate and commercial work, but for weddings specifically, we focus on the AV side (sound, lighting, microphones, reception music). Wedding photography and videography is its own discipline, and most couples prefer a dedicated wedding photographer who specialises in that work. We're happy to recommend wedding-specific photographers and videographers. -
Can you handle outdoor ceremonies or vineyards with no power?
Yes. We bring quiet-spec inverter generators when needed, battery-backed PA for ceremonies, and a fully tested cable run to wherever the booth, speakers, and lights sit. The site visit identifies the power situation early so it's solved on paper before bump-in day. -
What if it rains on an outdoor wedding?
We build the contingency in. Weather-resistant covers for PA and lighting, IP-rated cable runs, and a documented degraded-mode plan that gets activated together with the planner's wet-weather plan. We're not the people who improvise on the morning of. -
How early do we need to book?
Premium weekend weddings in Sydney peak season (October–April) book 6–12 months out. Off-peak and mid-week weddings can often be booked closer in. The earlier you book, the more flexibility on the senior crew assignment. If you've got a date and venue, the conversation starts there. -
What happens with timing if speeches run long or the schedule slips?
We design the rig and the run-of-show with timing slack already in it. The engineer holds the audio together as the night moves, and the lighting follows the energy curve, not the original schedule. Wedding nights almost never run to the planner's minute-by-minute, that's expected. -
Can you work with our string quartet or band?
Yes. We do this regularly, strings during the ceremony, quartet through cocktail hour, then a programmed reception set or live band. Audio routing, microphones, monitoring, and the musical handoffs are coordinated by our audio engineer so it sounds intentional, not bolted on. -
Do you supply microphones for the speeches?
Yes, wireless lapels or handhelds depending on the speech format, with fresh batteries before each set of speeches and backup wireless cabled in and ready. Speeches are the most stressed-about audio moment of the wedding; we treat them that way.
