The lighting added the sparkle to our day

Academy were quick to respond to my initial queries, they made payment easy and so professional. I didn't need to organise them at all. When I arrived the evening before my wedding and saw the lights up it just lit up the room and I was so glad I went with the festoon lighting! It added the sparkle to our day. 🌟

Suberin and stunning wedding lighting

I absolutely loved working with Academy productions for our wedding at Stanlake Park Wine Estate in May. Jeremy and the team were so helpful as we placed our booking of the spider canopy fairy lights and lights on the dividing walls. Their communication was in point and they were so attentive letting me know when the lights would be installed. On the day looking at the lights set up in the stunning reception barn the lights looked stunning, it gave the romantic fairytale look and feel we were hoping for. It looked magical and we are so grateful. Highly recommend using them for your wedding or event!

Great supplier!

Academy productions were an amazing company to use! Although we only used them for lights, they had such a wide range of items that you can hire from them which are great value for money. They were very professional and quick to respond with any queries we had. Thank you Academy Productions!

Academy Productions

Beautiful fairy lights for our wedding. Warm cross-cross lighting canopy across our barn ceiling as well as along the balconies me and staircases. It really set the mood for the day and they took care of the set up and set down by loading directly with our venue The Tudor Barn, Burnham, so that took the worry away and was one less thing on our to do list. We also used their giant jenga which proved to be a barrel of fun for all ages. Thanks Academy for helping our wedding day be perfect!: )

Above and beyond!

From the star Maggie and the team have been amazing! To the point where they went out of their way to help us rescue a balloon during set up and this we really appreciated!

Our DJ, Alastair had all our guests dancing and they have been raving about the music ever since! It was awesome thank you so much you did exactly what we asked and our guests loved it.

Great suppliers who helped make our day beautiful

The day was perfect, and thanks to the incredible work of Jeremy and his team at Academy, the venue looked exactly as we had envisioned—simply beautiful. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how stunning the barn was. From start to finish, Academy was a pleasure to work with. They were professional, accommodating, and brought great suggestions based on their prior experience at the venue. Their pricing was also fair, with some thoughtful discounts included along the way. Thank you Jeremy and team!

Brilliant!

From the initial enquiry, all the way through, were absolutely brilliant.
They did the ceremony room and the reception room which were beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Any changes or alterations in the planning were done swiftly and with no trouble at all. Would highly recommend.

Great Supplier

Academy supplied our lighting, flower arch, garden games and also a great pool table. They were really flexible with us, when we kept changing our mind on what we wanted and it was great that they moved our flower arch from the ceremony into the wedding breakfast in the middle of the day so we got the most use out of it. They offer such a great range of things it was hard to just stick to budget and not choose everything we wanted!

Absolutely fantastic!

From start to finish Maggie and Academy Productions were professional and so helpful. A seamless service behind the scenes with the venue so nothing for us to do. The lighting and lanterns looked wonderful and added a special touch to the venue and the day. Would certainly recommend Academy Productions to others !!

Brilliant and lovely people to work with!

Maggie and Jeremy were brilliant both leading up to and on our wedding day. Their attention to detail and passionate approach to what they do made our wedding day even more memorable. We had an incredible day and everyone said how beautiful the barn looked. The uplighters added a warm and romantic feel whilst maintaining the natural look of the space. The dance floor was in full swing and the music went down brilliantly, with all our requests met. We would highly recommend their service and expertise!

Thank you for the great, reliable service and the equipment was top notch. The Academy Production team was very efficient and timely in both installing and removing all of their equipment, we didn't have to lift a finger to get anything going. Great, simple end-to-end customer experience! Will definitely recommend your services, and use you again in the future.

Gorgeous kit, Affordable, helpful & not pushy

I found these guys as they were one of the recommended suppliers of the venue and I liked the pictures of their previous work at the venue. I was not disappointed. Maggie rang me straight away and was really knowledgable about what would work and not work in the venue and gave me advice & helped we work out what was affordable etc. I booked the following things through them: DJ equipment festoons, paper lanterns and PA system and it was all very affordable. Really good and they set it all so we had no headaches. Go for it!
