Chauvet DJ delivers for winery wedding
- Details
For one recent wedding reception at the winery, local production company DJ Services Cornwall were tasked with providing wedding guests with a suitably boutique entertainment experience to complement the impressive surroundings of the venue. Their solution involved a VW camper van-inspired DJ booth complete with eight Chauvet DJ Freedom Sticks and six white Intimidator Spot 255 IRC fixtures.
With the VW camper front building the unmistakable centrepiece of the entire setup, DJ Services Cornwall’s Allan Cross positioned the array of Chauvet DJ Intimidator fixtures upon trussing towers behind the booth, with a further roster of Freedom Stick fixtures completing the line-up.
“Because roughly 90% of our work is weddings, we’re always looking for new fixtures to help us create a modern take on the traditional wedding formula," comments Cross. "The Chauvet DJ fixtures allow us to provide some entertaining looks to well-known wedding hits, while bringing something a little new and interesting to the party."
The battery-powered Freedom Stick fixtures gave Cross and his team a number of effects to play with, including automated features and additional control options via DMX, wireless master/slave or the IRC-6 remote.
"The Freedom Sticks came in really handy for quick bursts of colour and eye candy," continues Cross. "During the start of the evening, I stuck to mainly one colour, and then as the party got started I made use of the fixture's extensive automated programs to create looks while I was busy utilising the extensive effects of the Intimidators.
"The 255s provided us with enough visual power to keep things interesting and fresh as the night developed," continues Cross. "They're absolutely ideal because they can award even the smallest wedding venue with big visuals - and all that despite their compact footprint.”
