Entrances & Guest Walkways

The first ninety seconds. What a guest walks through between the car and the function, which sets what they expect from everything after it.

Arrival is the most under-designed part of most weddings and the part that does the most work. A guest forms their opinion of the evening walking from the gate, long before they see the stage, and an entrance that commits tells them the rest has been thought about too.

We treat it as a sequence rather than a single arch: the threshold, the walk, what is lit on either side, and the moment the main space opens up. Pathways are dressed along their length, and the lighting is graded so the walk gets brighter as it arrives.

On bare ground this is also a practical job. Where the walkway runs, what it is laid on, where the cabling goes and how it drains in an unhelpful week are all part of the same design.
