Short answerNot usually. We set everything up and test it before we leave, and show you how to use the microphones.

More about audio & lighting

For most events, you won't need to hire a technician. We deliver, set up and test everything before we leave, and we'll show you how to use the microphones, so whoever is giving the speeches can simply pick one up and go. Afterwards we come back and collect it all, so there's nothing to pack away or return yourself.

The kit itself is fairly simple to live with. A speaker and microphone for the speeches is a common choice, and uplighting, festoon lights and mirror balls can be added to set the mood across the venue. Prices start from £75 including VAT.

If you're planning something bigger, such as a band or a full corporate event, tell us what you have in mind and we'll put the right package together. It also pairs well with our staging and DJs, so you can book it all in one place. Delivery is priced by distance and shown in the instant quote, and a 25% deposit secures your date.
