Step 1: visit and survey
We visit the venue and measure it, so the model matches the real space to scale: terraces, façades, gardens, levels and access routes.
Step 2: the venue in 3D
The venue is rebuilt as a to-scale 3D model. Every later decision, from stage position to speakers, lighting and guest layout, is made against it.
Step 3: design inside the model
- Decor and guest layout.
- Stage, structures and sightlines.
- Sound system: where the speakers stand and how they blend into the setup.
- Lighting design and how it integrates with the architecture.
Step 4: day and night
Light changes everything. In 3D you can see the same space from daylight to nightfall, something a site visit cannot show.
Step 5: approval before installation
The client sees the finished result before the installation begins. Changes at this stage are quick and inexpensive compared with changes on site.
Step 6: build it for real
After approval the model becomes the build plan. At Château de la Croix des Gardes we built a wedding twice, first in 3D and then in reality, and we have both results side by side.
