When Nature Needs Structure: Enter the Orangeraie
Picture this: you’re standing on a naked patch of land. No light, no sound, no structure: only open air and potential.
Now imagine that same site fully transformed. A soaring wrought-iron marquee rises, dressed with light and foliage. A serpentine table lined with glowing candles flows across the space. Music drifts into the night air. Guests clink glasses beneath a starlit canopy.
That’s the magic of IPG’s Orangeraie, a signature marquee experience designed for Mauritius’ most refined events.
At Impact Production Group, we see a blank canvas not as empty, but as the start of a masterpiece. And the Orangeraie is proof.
From Bare Earth to Grand Entrance: The Build Begins
This Orangeraie rose on the exquisite grounds of One&Only Le Saint Géran, where the ocean meets lagoon. The site began as a raw beachfront. From the moment our crew stepped in, the build unfolded with military precision and creative artistry.
The Orangeraie is modular, engineered for tropical performance, and aesthetically flexible. Wind-rated, waterproof, and anchored to the centimeter, it’s as resilient as it is beautiful, built for the unique climate of Mauritius.
Behind the Build:
- Technical drawings & structural sign-off
- Waterproofing and windproofing inspections
- Site leveling and anchoring
- Rigging for lighting and audio
Lighting That Sets the Mood, Sound That Moves the Soul
Weddings are emotional journeys and light and sound are their most powerful triggers.
Inside the Orangeraie, our design team layered effects for atmosphere and impact:
- Warm LED washes to mimic candlelight
- Pin-spot lighting to highlight centerpieces
- Uplighting along iron lines to lift the eye skyward
- Dimmers for ambiance shifts through the evening
Our integrated sound system is invisible yet immersive. No intrusive towers, no dangling wires; just crystal-clear acoustics tuned to the space. Every whispered “I do” is perfectly heard, and every after-party beat feels alive.
Signature Tablescapes: The Serpentine Touch
Every marquee needs a centerpiece. Here, it was the serpentine table custom-made in-house by IPG team to flow organically through the Orangeraie. Its curved form connects guests, creating intimacy across scale.
The styling blended romance with elegance:
- Custom linens in soft neutral tones
- Hundreds of real wax candles
- Soliflore vases with single white roses
- Gold glass chargers with napkin rings
All in harmony with the Orangeraie’s earthy, timeless palette.
