Perspex Chuppah Hire
Acrylic chuppah · Lucite chuppah
A Perspex chuppah is a Jewish wedding canopy built from clear acrylic columns - also sold elsewhere as an acrylic or lucite chuppah. Ours are lit from within by LED uplighters, so the four posts glow while the structure stays visually transparent and the whole congregation can see the couple. We hire it in 8ft and 10ft square formats across the UK.
About the Perspex Chuppah
The Perspex chuppah is the design couples ask us for more than any other, and the reason is simple: it disappears and it glows at the same time. Four crystal-clear acrylic columns carry the canopy, so nothing blocks the view of the couple from any seat in the room – and when our LED uplighters are set into the base of each column, the acrylic lights from the inside and the whole structure becomes the brightest thing in the venue.
If you have been searching for an acrylic chuppah or a lucite chuppah, this is the same thing. Perspex is simply the brand name for the cast acrylic we build with, chosen because it polishes to an optical clarity that cheaper extruded sheet cannot hold.
It is now available in a larger 10ft × 10ft × 10ft format alongside the original. The larger version suits a grand hotel ballroom or a high-ceilinged synagogue, where a standard chuppah can look lost; the original size sits better in an intimate room. We will tell you honestly which one your venue wants – we have usually worked there before.
The Perspex chuppah takes decoration well without needing it. Many couples leave it entirely bare and let the light do the work. Others hang crystal drops from the top frame, suspend florals above the couple, or add a white carpeted stage and aisle to complete the setting.

Perspex Chuppah - your questions
Yes. Perspex is a brand of cast acrylic, and lucite is another trade name for the same material. Suppliers in the US tend to say lucite; UK suppliers say Perspex or acrylic. All three describe a clear-columned chuppah like ours.
An LED uplighter is set into the base of each column, so the light travels up through the acrylic and the column glows along its whole length. The default is a warm white that flatters skin tones in photography, and we can colour-match to your scheme if you would rather.
As a rule, the 8ft works in most synagogue and country-house settings, and the 10ft × 10ft × 10ft is right for a large hotel ballroom or any room with a high ceiling, where a smaller structure looks under-scaled. Tell us your venue and we will advise - we have installed at most of the major UK wedding venues.
Yes. Florists commonly build an arrangement across the top frame or suspend blooms above the couple. Because the columns are transparent, floristry appears to float. We coordinate directly with your florist on fixing points and load.
Yes, in settled conditions. Acrylic is weather-tolerant but the structure and its lighting need a sensible assessment for wind and rain. Send us the venue and the date and we will tell you straight whether it will work or whether another design would serve you better.
Yes - we hire it across the whole UK, from Manchester and Leeds to Glasgow, Cardiff and Bournemouth. Our team delivers, installs, and returns to collect after the ceremony.
