We completely understand that your event is personal and unique, and most venues do offer a blank canvas where you can create your ideal event. But be aware that restaurants and bars situated in railway arches might have policy restrictions on bringing your own sound systems, decorations, and equipment. However, often these venues come pre-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including professional lighting rigs, PA systems, and DJ areas. Always double-check your options with the venue manager ahead of time. If you really want to bring your own decorations and sound system, look for more flexible venues, so you can have more control over the layout, style, and décor.
