INTRODUCTION
About
About
Dakota Deluxe Leeds
Dakota Deluxe Leeds
A luxury boutique hotel on Russell Street in Leeds city centre, Dakota Deluxe combines dark tones and low lighting with genuine hospitality, its Lounge, available for exclusive hire alongside an outdoor heated Cigar Terrace, holding up to 150 guests for stylish celebrations, corporate socials and festive gatherings. The hotel’s Salon Privé and Champagne Room add further intimate settings for smaller private events.
A boutique hotel built around understated luxury calls for production that complements that design language. Lexa’s approach at Dakota Deluxe would work with The Lounge’s existing dark, low-lit aesthetic, building sound, lighting and presentation technology suited to private celebrations and corporate socials.

Presentation technology across Dakota’s event spaces would need to work discreetly within a genuinely design-led boutique interior.
Screens and Presentation Technology

With dark tones and low lighting already part of Dakota’s aesthetic, Lexa’s approach would work within that established design language rather than override it.
Lighting Design for a Design-Led Hotel

Staging built for The Lounge would suit corporate socials and private celebrations at a genuinely boutique scale.
Staging for Corporate Socials and Celebrations

Lexa’s hybrid streaming approach would connect Dakota Deluxe’s events to remote viewers.
Hybrid and Live Streaming Capability

Coordinating production across The Lounge, Salon Privé and Champagne Room calls for careful sequencing.

Client TestimonialS
Successful events are built on strong partnerships. Hear directly from the clients we've worked with, on the collaborative approach, technical expertise and attention to detail behind every one.

Artisan Productions made our company's 50th anniversary event run seamlessly from start to finish. From the very first enquiry, Devon Bennett was attentive, creative, and full of ideas that truly wowed our employees. The set looked fantastic, and nothing was ever too much trouble for Devon and his team. Artisan supplied the staging, lighting, screens, and sound system, all of which worked perfectly for our event. On the night, there was even an unexpected change in the order of awards that I wasn't aware of as the organiser. Impressively, they picked up on it instantly and ensured the correct sting music was played, saving the moment and keeping everything flawless. The professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail shown by Devon and the Artisan Productions team were outstanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning an event and will certainly be using their services again in the future.

A huge thank you to Paul and his team for the fantastic job on the stage, lighting, and sound for the Bryan Brothers event at the Riverside Room. Everything was executed seamlessly and looked absolutely stunning, from the clean stage setup to the lighting transitions and crisp audio throughout the evening. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and calm execution behind the scenes truly elevated the experience for both the audience and the talent. It was a pleasure working with you, and we're grateful for how smoothly everything ran. Looking forward to many more successful collaborations ahead!

Absolutely incredible event AV company.
Artisan created the stage, lighting and sound for our business event and it was just awesome.
The creation, set-up and running of the event was next level and made us look feel and sound work class!
The event is a big marketing piece for us so we led to look slick and have everything working perfectly. And it did.
The stage and lighting were some of the best I’ve spoken on and it was ours!
So grateful for the team who came fresh (sorta) from a huge week included Tussauds and Make Hotel in London.
Professional. High quality. On time. Brilliant .READ MORE

Lexa were professional from start to finish. As soon as I asked for a quote, which was very competitive compared to other companies, they were always on hand to answer any questions I had promptly. On the day of my event, they provided a seamless service and worked efficiently with the venue. I will definitely use them again.
