Awards Nights
Awards Ceremonies
Celebrating Your Achievements
Recognising hard work is important, and at AV LightCraft, we are here to help you host a great evening. From the initial planning stages right through to the night itself, we provide the technical backing to make your awards ceremony a success. We can also match our equipment to your specific theme. Whether you are aiming for a quiet, low-key dinner or a much larger, lively celebration, we supply the staging, sets, lighting, and clear sound and vision to make it happen.
We use 3D design software to mock up your stage, lighting, and AV setup beforehand. This means you can see exactly what your corporate awards night, industry dinner, or community event will look like before anyone even steps foot in the venue.
The Finishing Touches
We know the small details matter. We can sync timecoded lighting with walk-up music so every winner gets their proper moment on stage.
If you want to include pre-recorded messages from staff who couldn’t make it, or short videos introducing different departments, our team can film and edit these beforehand to play seamlessly on the night. Our crew handles the technical coordination so you can relax and trust that the event will run smoothly.
Our Past Work
Have a look through our gallery to see how we have supported other organisations—ranging from local councils to corporate businesses—in putting on brilliant awards evenings.
See some highlights below!
The Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester at The Runway Visitor Park is one of the UK’s most distinctive and memorable event venues, featuring the legendary Concorde aircraft suspended above the main hangar space.
For this particular event, we provided full event lighting and technical production to deliver an airport-themed awards night beneath the iconic Concorde.
At the heart of the setup was an 8-metre runway-style stage, built directly under the aircraft, complete with RGB LED pixel battens running down each side to create a fun sense of motion! Runway lighting effects from Titan Pixel Tubes were used around the venue and a specially produced comedy staff video reel (filmed by our team and staged by the client) helped bring the theme to life.
We built two custom projector frames with many meters of pixel battens which sat either side of Concorde’s supersonic engines!
The Conference kitchen provided an actual Concorde meal, making guests feel as though they were part of a first-class flight experience.
The Concorde Conference Centre has been recreated in our 3D event planning software, allowing lighting, stage layout, AV and other visual elements to be designed and tested before the event. This same process can be used to plan your next event at The Concorde Conference Centre.
See the demo video linked below to discover how we can bring your event to life in full 3D — before the first light is even switched on.

Futuristic Themed Awards Night - Stockport County Football Club
At AV LightCraft, we handled this project from the early planning stages right through to the final setup. After talking through the client’s ideas, we modelled the entire venue using our 3D design software. We shared several digital mock-ups with them and made adjustments along the way, such as adding in a 3D dance floor when they asked for it.
As the video above shows, our pre-event visuals were a near-perfect match for the finished room. The client was really happy with how the production went on the night. We are now back on board to help plan their 2026 event, where we will be bringing in even more custom video features.
The Monastery Manchester
Working in such a brilliant venue was a great experience. The gothic architecture naturally added a lot of character to the awards evening.
As with most of our larger projects at AV LightCraft, we mapped out the room beforehand using our 3D software. The adjoining image shows just how accurate this planning process is—the top picture is our digital mock-up, and the bottom picture is the actual room on the night.
If you take a look at the video above, you can see footage of this event. Our goal was to give the event a polished, high-quality finish, much like the professional awards ceremonies broadcast on television.
