Villa York: a Wedding in Rome

Tenuta Villa York, just outside Rome, hosted Kaleydo’s technical production for a luxury wedding, featuring custom-built structures and in-house AVL installations to light up the event.

Villa York: a Wedding in Rome

The Kaleydo team arrived on the outskirts of Rome for a luxury wedding hosted at Tenuta Villa York, a recently restored 17th-century estate that required particular attention to logistics, as well as the selection of technical setups, set design, and decors.

The Villa York wedding was a 100% bespoke event. I’m thinking of the walkway over the nymphaeum garden with its oval fountain, as well as the dance floor with its terrace dome and the decorative ceiling drapes for the private late-night party. [Kaleydo Event Manager]

Working side-by-side with Matthew Oliver, we focused on the use of fabrics, custom-built structures, and site-specific solutions. For the ceremony, we opted for a fabric aisle runner extending over 270 meters, guiding the couple and their guests from the nymphaeum staircase all the way to the semi-circular wooden stage, also produced in-house.

The couple selected a string quartet from the Kaleydo roster to play their chosen music throughout the ceremony and cocktail reception. To complement the DJ performance, a complete sound system was provided, featuring a DJ console and a vintage-style wooden DJ booth.

For the dinner party, a circular fabric dance floor featuring the couple’s initials was selected, topped by a domed arch system crafted from wood and steel, a scenic and technical structure designed to support the lighting design for the dance area. The lighting also extended to the villa’s facades, as well as the pathways, garden, and surrounding tree architecture.

A Wedding of Colours

Three days, over 250 guests, one Tuscan village: Kaleydo delivered set design and technical production for a Bianco Bouquet Indian wedding at Il Borro. We customized staging and decor for each celebration, including lunches, dinners, welcome drinks, cocktail parties, gala events, haldi, baraat, and sangeet. [Kaleydo Event Manager] The event took place in a medieval village featuring stone walls, vineyards, olive groves, and over 1,100 hectares of open space. Entertainment was central to the event, with string quartets, singers, DJs, musicians, and bands performing across multiple indoor and outdoor stages. Each area featured dedicated sound systems and tailored audio, video,

Night Party in a Marble Quarry

An open-air party set among the marble quarries in the heart of the Apuan Alps, where thoughtful design elements guided guests from the welcome cocktail at sunset to the end of the party. A wonderful natural backdrop, yet a challenging location for an event setup. Logistics, powering tools, and all equipment, lighting… it was like working on a movie set. [Kaleydo Event Manager] These remarkable settings are more than a backdrop. They can become the starting point for evocative events, whether corporate or private, turning unexpected locations into experiences people feel, remember and care about. Behind that atmosphere was a

Rothko in Florence: Grand Opening Nights

For the Rothko in Florence launch, Kaleydo delivered audio and lighting services for all key events of the Grand Opening Nights, including the inaugural dinner and an exclusive cocktail party with Christopher Rothko, the artist’s son and co-curator of the Mark Rothko exhibition. I think that color, aided by light, enters into a relationship with the soul, bringing about unexpected emotional consequences. [M. Rothko] The lighting for the inauguration was inspired by Rothko’s color palette, creating visual continuity between the artworks and the reception areas. Within this subtle dialogue between light, space and perception, Kaleydo’s contribution takes shape: a project conceived
