The machine itself is very nicely designed and so easy to use . The booking process was easy and effortless , Anna was so helpful, skilled and professional, and always available to answer any questions . The team came and set up everything before the party, explained everything , making sure we knew how to use it , and the jukebox was picked the next day . The whole experience was absolutely great and we will hire again, no doubt best karaoke hire in London" Based in London, England Val - Private Jukebox Hire - Birthday Photo of 1990 Lighting 1990 Lighting "We booked 1990 Lighting for our company event and they did an amazing job. Communication was easy from the start and the setup on the day was seamless. The lighting gave the room a real wow factor and tied the whole event together." Based in Derby, England Sarah Mitchell - Corporate Event Photo of Award Winning Dave Collins Roadshow Award Winning Dave Collins Roadshow "Dave was our DJ for our 50th party. He was brilliant. Very friendly. Listened to our choice of music and I spent most the night on dancefloor because the tunes were so good. Keep up the great work Dave 👍 see you for our 60th ! 😀" Based in Cannock, England Steph & Dunc - 50th birthday party Bridgetown social club Photo of Audio Mobile Stage Hire Nottingham Audio Mobile Stage Hire Nottingham "Excellent service from Jonathan and the team, great communication throughout. A special thank you for accommodating our stage set up requests at short notice. Would recommend and use again for other events." Based in Nottingham, England PETER COX - British Cycling - Nottingham Victoria Embankment Photo of A1 Pro Entertainments A1 Pro Entertainments "Deciding on a family event on the spur of the moment we approached Jon at short notice. He responded to talk through the location and a rough idea of the running order. We thought a combined Birthday and Wedding Anniversary ( mainly family and friends ) would test the DJ with the musical tastes across a wide age group. With some specific requests we let Alfie run the show. He professionally handled the usual over runs on food and speeches with aplomb and had everyone on their feet to enjoy the dancing and each others company which made for a great evening. We received many compliments from our guests over the past few days so many thanks to Alf and Jon." Based in London, England Brendan Kearns - Private Photo of GK Electronics GK Electronics "I engaged GK Electronics to run an international psychotherapy conference for me in June 2023 at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall, and from the very first conversation with Gary, I was sure they were the right team/company for the job. Gary was very clear in talking me through all the various options, and listening to my requirements and needs. I explained that as a therapist, academic and event planner I had no knowledge of anything technical and from that point on Gary made sure he spoke about the technical aspects in a way I would understand and be able to follow. The 3 day event was very complex, not least because it involved a range of speakers, using different platforms and formats for their presentations, a number of workshops we needed specialist audio visuals for, and a marquee where the keynote lectures would take place. We also needed to film the event to make CPD packages to sell after the conference and so the weather was a big factor in deciding where the main programme would take place. If we filmed inside the fort it would be a very different venue to prepare for with low vaulted ceilings and pillars to work around. The marquee was easier but if it rained it would have made filming difficult, so the decision on which space to stage the event in needed to be last minute. Gary and his team member Nick were so accommodating for this, and planned for every eventuality. The venue was on a peninsular cliff edge and so required them to transport all the equipment to the bottom lawn to be set up either in the main fort or the marquee. Fortunately the weather was favourable and so we did the entire conference in the marquee, but this required them to set up screens, a stage, lighting and sound equipment. They had a complete deck of controls and used this skilfully across the weekend to make sure the sound was always at an optimum level and working well. They were so patient and considerate of the needs of the conference to meet a range of delegates with disabilities, such as hearing impairments, and sight issues. Both Gary and Nick paid great attention to detail, and helped each of the speakers feel safe and secure in delivering their presentations, because of their expertise and advance planning. This in turn made me feel confident and secure in the knowledge that I had amazing technical support available 24/7 throughout the event. I could not have pulled off this event without the skills and support of GK Electronics and am so grateful to both Gary and Nick for their ability to be flexible, technically amazing and relaxed and easy going too. I would recommend them 100% and will certainly be using them again in future. Wonderful people and a great package of expertise and friendly support."

Frequently asked questions

Booking audio / visual hire typically costs between £70 and £750+, with an average of £270. Pricing depends on the type and quantity of equipment, the rental duration and whether a technician is included to operate the setup. AV hire can range from basic speaker and screen packages to full production setups with projectors, mixers and staging.

The AV hire suppliers provide a wide range of AV equipment including projectors, screens, PA systems, microphones (wired and wireless), mixing desks, stage monitors, LED walls, lighting rigs and video recording equipment. Many suppliers also offer a technician to set up, operate and manage the equipment throughout the event.

Typical bookings for audio / visual hire include corporate conferences, presentations, live events, weddings, parties, exhibitions and theatre productions. Professional AV equipment ensures audiences can see and hear presentations and performances clearly.

Many AV hire suppliers include a technician to deliver, set up, operate and collect the equipment. This is strongly recommended for larger events or complex setups. For the best experience, confirm whether a technician is included or available as an add-on.

For standard equipment hire, two to four weeks of notice is usually sufficient. Large events or specialist equipment may need longer, particularly during busy periods. Gig Heaven recommends discussing your requirements and timeline with the supplier as soon as the event details are confirmed.

Most AV suppliers will quote for single items such as a projector, screen or microphone as readily as for a full setup. Minimum hire values and delivery charges often apply to small orders, so listing everything needed in one enquiry usually prices better than several separate bookings. Suppliers can also advise where one larger item replaces several small ones.

Delivery and collection are quoted separately by many suppliers and depend on distance, access and how much equipment is involved. Setup is often included where a technician is booked and charged as an extra where the hire is equipment only. Access details such as stairs, lift size and parking are worth mentioning at the quote stage.

Some venues limit rigging points, floor loading or where cabling can run, and a few require the supplier to work alongside their own in-house team. Historic and listed buildings are the most likely to have restrictions. Checking with the venue early lets the supplier plan a setup that will actually be allowed.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
