Your Reading event, done properly

Reading and the towns around it are covered for weddings, corporate events and big birthdays. We bring LED dancefloors, DJs, selfie pods and special effects, all delivered, set up and collected by our own team.

Reading Town Hall has grown over a century: the first part opened in 1786, and Alfred Waterhouse’s clock tower and council chamber followed in 1876. Victorian halls like this look stunning with a white LED dancefloor and uplighting.
