Quick answer: Event venues echo because they are big, hard and full of people. Speeches blur, music turns to mush and guests shout across tables. Ceiling clouds or baffles and panels on the upper walls fix it. Clear speeches, better music and easy dinner talk are things guests notice.

Key takeaways

  • Big, hard rooms full of people echo.
  • Ceiling clouds and upper wall panels fix it.
  • Clear sound is something guests notice.

Why event halls echo

Event halls have high ceilings, hard floors for dancing, glass and mirrors. Then 200 guests start talking at once. Each voice bounces, so everyone talks louder.

What guests notice

Guests notice speeches they cannot follow and a band that sounds harsh. They notice tables where nobody can chat without shouting. These are the moments people remember about an event.

Where panels go

Clouds or baffles over the guest area and panels high on the long walls. Leave the dance floor area clear above. Long walls bounce speeches back to the guests, so treat them high up. See ceiling vs wall panels.

Looks

Panels can be coloured to match the venue, from 39 colours. They can also be printed with patterns or artwork. Done well, they look like part of the design.

Sound system

A clear room needs less volume. Music then sounds better and speeches are easier to follow. Fix the room first, then set the sound system.

Install around bookings

Wall and ceiling jobs take a few hours to 1 or 2 days. Plan the work in a gap between bookings. We work Monday to Saturday in working hours; night and Sunday installs are possible with a surcharge, quoted case by case.

Fire rules

Public venues must use panels that meet fire rules. Our Flexi™ panels are fire safe. Ask for the fire papers before you buy. See fire safety for panels.

Selling it

Mention clear speeches and easy dinner chat on your venue page. Couples and companies care about both. A short video of a speech in the room shows it best.

What we see on real jobs

Clear speeches are a big part of how a wedding or dinner is remembered. That makes echo worth fixing.
