There are two wedding suites in this guesthouse style venue, each consisting of a chapel, garden and dressing room (called the Bride's Room), with a Banqueting Hall accommodating approximately 120 seated guests. This allows two weddings to take place simultaneously.
When it came to lighting, the owners were looking for something contemporary and completely different to make their venue stand out from others - the wedding market in Japan is fiercely competitive, and there are more than six other wedding facilities - including hotels - with the facilities to host weddings in the same business complex.
They approached Robe's Japanese distributors, Tokyo-based MediaFace and described their ideas, to which MediaFace responded with some original creative solutions involving the DigitalSpots.
The MediaFace team was led by Mr Yukio Aida who suggested the installation of two DigitalSpot 3000 DTs in both the Banqueting Halls.
The fixtures are finished in a customised smart white to match the white walls and decor of the environment and the vibe of the occasion. They are rigged in the ceiling of each hall in positions where their projection and lighting capabilities can be maximised to produce multiple effects. They can project on to any of the walls or any objects around the room such as the floor or tables.
The units are controlled via a LightJockey PC-based system, which also runs other lighting in the rooms.
