Behind the scenes, choices shaped what the audience saw and heard.

Producing an Event in an Historic Venue

The Grand Dining Hall at Trinity College Dublin is a unique and prestigious space, defined by heritage architecture, high ceilings and traditional finishes. Delivering a modern awards event within this setting required careful coordination, discreet equipment integration, and a layout that enhanced rather than competed with the surroundings. Production planning focused on:

• Respecting the architectural character of the venue
• Creating a strong visual focal point for award presentations
• Ensuring clear sightlines for all guests
• Lighting design that complemented the space
• Managing load-in and setup efficiently within venue constraints

This ensured the event maintained a premium feel while delivering the technical performance required for a live awards ceremony.
