The Orangery at Babington House
The Overtones played in the Orangery at Babington House, this was some of the crowd.
Babington House Hotel and Spa located in the beautiful Somerset countryside is known as the celebs favourite party venue. STYLISH Entertainment have been actively involved with the team at Babington for the last 11 years. Starting in 2004 with Nigel Peirce as resident DJ, we are now the go to provider for every wedding and party. We also production manage events at the venue, including Fireworks for 1000 guests, acoustic nights with Tom Odell, KT Tunstall, The Shires and Nick Mulvey.
The Orangery at Babington House usually serves as the Hotel's restaurant which operates for 18 hours a day. So, when an opportunity comes up to completely transform it into a rocking party space, we embrace it with open arms! The atmosphere of these parties is pure adrenaline and we love being able to work in such a beautiful space, providing beautiful memories for the client.
Below are some of our favourite transformations of the Orangery where we have staged parties for Basement Jaxx, Cuban Brothers, Jamie Oliver, Jeremy Healey, The Overtones, and many private clients. The Orangery can seat 90 people but standing you can get over 300 in the space which makes for a good party.

Bristol University Spring Ball
Kings Weston House in Bristol is a unique venue, we were asked by the Bristol University Spring Ball committee to design and implement lighting and sound for their recent spring ball. Over 750 law students gathered at the end of their year to celebrate an let their hair down.
We decorated three dining rooms with our fairy light canopy and round shades which reduced the ceiling height and made the space much more intimate and magical.
We decorated six rooms in total including a large marquee in the grounds. A fabulous event to work on and we can report back that with 750 enthusiastic law student all went well with no law suits imminent!.

Watch Video of a Circus Themed Party
We were asked by Babington House in Somerset to create a Circus Themed party in their Orangery for over 300 of their members and guests. With only 3 weeks to create a circus big top in luxurious Red and Cream fabric, Ali Peirce whipped out her sewing machine and started sewing like a dervish. Three weeks later we installed the circus tent and Ali breathed a huge sigh of relief as her maths (not her strongest ability) had not let her down.
Meanwhile, Nigel Peirce designed the lighting, staging and sound to accommodate three live acts and three djs including Huey Morgan, Daisy Lowe and Nigel who played the warm-up and final set of the very successful night.
Watch the video which includes a time-lapse sequence of the setting up including the entrance of a scissor life that nearly went through the floor!
