Organising an event and dreading the arrangements for the theme / venue decor?

Here at KayDeeElle we show you the sorts of things you're going to encounter as well as ideas for themes for your special event.

So go on, give them the best - a themed party!

first, don't misbehave... you're in hell so stick to the rules and you might get away this lightly...

don't misbehave or you'll end up like this poor person, long dead in the stocks

the red and yellow flame cut-outs in uv reactive paint surround the dj box and the mock flame machines on either side animate the whole

A final lighting and mock flame check of the dj box on stage

..the full stage set from the blazing inferno

the complete stage showing how the dj box forms the focus. The mock flame machines subtly draw the eye to the centre

a simple arrangement of drapes gives the lights something to play against and forms a backdrop for projection effects

..and a final lighting check on the drapes and the dance floor. All sweet and ready for the event to roll...

With The Inferno, the focus is on the dj box, with suspended drapes to fill the space and stunning lighting to work with the music.. as seen here

the lighting and projections are designed to make full use of the drapes intensifying and enhancing the overall effect to make it exciting and immersive for the guests

there's no escape from The Inferno - for all eternity the dj must mix

Here's the dj, slaving away for all eternity in the hell-house that is The Inferno
The mock flame machines add movement and realism, especially when enhanced by majestic lighting effects

the entrance to the ball.. would you have guessed what lay beyond?
