The Stones Hotel, near Amesbury – Wedding & Event Production

At High Post, on the A345 between Amesbury and Salisbury, The Stones Hotel sits in open Wiltshire countryside, minutes from Stonehenge. Following a full refurbishment, it’s one of the largest event hotels in the area. Its Solstice Suite takes up to 300 for a gala dinner or 400 for a reception, and on-site bedrooms mean guests can stay the night.

Peachy Productions provides wedding and event lighting, sound, staging and AV at The Stones Hotel. Our office is in Salisbury, a few miles down the road, so our crew and kit are always close at hand.

Wedding lighting and sound at The Stones Hotel

The Solstice Suite is a modern, flexible room, which makes it a perfect canvas for wedding lighting. We use:

• warm uplighting in your colours to transform the room for the wedding breakfast
• pin-spotting for the tables, centrepieces and the cake
• starcloth or draped backdrops behind the top table
• dance floor lighting and effects when the evening starts

For sound, we provide discreet ceremony audio, PA and microphones for speeches, and full systems for live bands and DJs.

Awards dinners, charity galas and Christmas parties

With room for 300 guests at dinner, the Solstice Suite suits awards evenings, charity fundraisers and company Christmas parties. One lighting design takes the room from dinner to awards to dancing:

• staging with lectern and winner lighting
• LED screens for nominees, sponsors and live camera shots
• walk-up music, stings and video playback
• dance floor lighting and band or DJ sound to finish the night

Conference AV and production

The Stones Hotel’s countryside setting and on-site accommodation make it popular for conferences and team days. For the main session in the Solstice Suite, we supply:

• staging, lecterns and presenter confidence monitors
• LED screens and projection for presentations and video
• lapel, handheld and lectern microphones, with a sound engineer mixing live
• stage and audience lighting that looks good on camera

Our technician runs the show on the day, cueing slides, video and walk-up music so presenters can focus on what they’re saying.
