The Ideal Sound Experience for Weddings at The Arlo
One of the standout features of The Arlo is its grand, open design. With soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and sleek white walls, the space exudes sophistication. However, when working with such a large space, proper sound management is essential to ensure your guests enjoy every moment of your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Premier Entertainment specializes in providing tailored sound solutions for The Arlo, ensuring every note, word, and beat is heard with crystal-clear clarity.
For large events like weddings, we bring a 15” subwoofer system paired with satellite wireless speakers to achieve balanced sound throughout the venue. This ensures your wedding music flows seamlessly from one area to the next, whether it’s the ceremony or reception. For the indoor ceremony at The Arlo in Storie Hall, we recommend using two speakers instead of just one, as this helps distribute sound evenly and guarantees that every guest can hear your vows clearly.
In addition to our high-quality sound systems, we also offer lapel mics for ceremonies, which are discreet and allow the bride, groom, and officiant to be clearly heard without the bulk of handheld microphones. We’ve found that this small detail can make a big difference in the quality of the ceremony, allowing guests to focus on the moment without distractions.
Lighting and Personalization to Enhance Your Ceremony at The Arlo

When it comes to enhancing the atmosphere at The Arlo, lighting is one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal. The venue’s clean, white walls provide the perfect backdrop for creative lighting setups that can transform the space and elevate the experience.
We recommend adding 6 uplights in soft candlelight colors to the large white wall opposite the windows, creating a warm, romantic ambiance. The contrast between the soft uplighting and the venue’s sleek white walls is stunning, and it allows you to match the lighting to your wedding colors, enhancing the overall aesthetic. A personal touch we often suggest is projecting a custom monogram on the wall—an elegant and meaningful detail that makes your wedding feel even more special. One of our most memorable setups at The Arlo was when a couple had three monograms—two decorative and one with their last name—projected on the large white wall. It was an unforgettable touch that added a personal and sophisticated element to their reception.

For your reception, we highly recommend avoiding placing tables between the DJ’s sound system and the dance floor. The layout is crucial to creating a fluid flow of energy. The large white wall or the windows leading to the outdoor staircase are optimal locations for your DJ setup. This ensures there is nothing between your sound system and the dance floor, creating a more dynamic and engaging experience for your guests.
Additionally, for couples looking to add an extra touch of elegance, we offer live musicians such as saxophonists, drummers, and electric violinists to accompany your reception. The acoustics of The Arlo are perfect for live music, and we’ve had the pleasure of working with various talented musicians to create unforgettable moments. Whether it’s a saxophonist playing during your first dance or a drummer bringing an energetic vibe to your reception, we work with you to bring your musical vision to life.
