A Romanian Wedding at Wasing Park
In late 2021, the father of a bride—a gentleman from Romania—discovered Soundfangled online. He reached out to request a bespoke service for his daughter’s wedding, which was to take place at the beautiful Wasing Park in Berkshire. In this post, we’ll walk you through what the project entailed and how we delivered a seamless experience.

The Brief: Adding a Touch of Romanian Tradition
The client approached us with a straightforward initial request, but as discussions progressed, the project grew to include several critical components. Central to his vision was flying in a Romanian band to ensure the wedding featured an authentic element of their culture.
Our responsibilities included:
- Liaising with the band to understand and meet their technical requirements.
- Supplying all necessary equipment, including a high-quality sound system, lighting, backline (instruments and amps), and In-Ear Monitoring Systems.
- Organising logistics such as:
- Band transportation to and from the airport.
- Ground transport for wedding guests.
- Accommodation for the artists.
- Arranging Public Liability Insurance for Romanian musicians via our trusted insurance broker.
- Providing on-the-day logistics support, including detailed itineraries and assistance throughout the event.
Technical Details: The L-Acoustics Sound System
The band had specific technical requirements, particularly the need for a renowned sound system capable of delivering at least 100dB SPL (Sound Pressure Level) across the audience area. Considering the size of the venue, we opted for an L-Acoustics Short Throw Series system, which included:
- Two X12 loudspeakers and two SB15m subwoofers powered by an LA8 amplifier.
- A Dlive C1500 mixing console paired with a CDM32 stage box, enabling the band’s engineer to mix from the audience using an iPad
This setup not only met the band’s technical needs but also ensured crystal-clear sound for all attendees.
The Results
With meticulous planning and a commitment to excellence, we delivered a service that met and exceeded the client’s expectations. From technical execution to logistical coordination, every detail was handled with precision, allowing the family and their guests to focus on celebrating the big day.
Soundfangled is proud to have been part of such a special occasion, bringing cultural traditions to life and creating lasting memories for the couple and their loved ones.
