Frequently asked questions

Booking audio / visual hire typically costs between £75 and £800+, with an average of £250. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
