Planning your setup at Script at The Hertsmere

Pick compact pieces with big impact

In a restaurant, you don’t need a huge setup to make an impression. Giant light-up numbers or light-up letters, a selfie pod and a DJ with compact sound create a party atmosphere without taking over the room.

Work around service

Restaurants run to a tight schedule, especially if they’re open to other diners. We agree setup and collection times with the team so we never get in the way of the kitchen or other guests.

Create a photo moment

A backdrop with your names, numbers or a neon sign gives everyone a spot for photos, and it looks great behind the table for speeches and the cake.

Get the sound right

In a smaller room, sound needs to be clear rather than loud. Our uplighting are set to suit the room, so people can still chat over the music.

Want to try it out? Our free room layout planner lets you place the dancefloor, DJ, bar and tables before the day, and share the plan with Script at The Hertsmere.

How big should your dancefloor be?

You don’t need room for every guest on the dancefloor. At most weddings and parties, around a third to a half of your guests are dancing at any one time, so it’s best to size it for the busiest moment of the night: the first dance or the last half hour.

Move the slider to your guest numbers to see the size we’d suggest and its price.

Too big and it can look empty and put people off; too small and guests give up and drift back to the bar. Tell us which room you’ve booked at Script at The Hertsmere and we’ll check the size fits. Want to go deeper? Try our dancefloor size calculator.
