A guide to booking

Lighting Hire in Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

Lighting hire companies in Cambridge, England, United Kingdom supply and install the rig, then either leave it running on a preset or keep an operator on site. Most cover uplighting, dance floor effects, festoon and pin-spotting for tables, with larger firms adding moving heads, gobos and truss.

What the Venue Needs to Support

Power is the usual constraint. Uplighters run off standard sockets, but moving heads, hazers and truss often need a dedicated supply, and some venues cap the total load. Check whether rigging points already exist or whether the company brings its own stands, and confirm the smoke and fire policy before booking anything that uses a hazer.

Lighting Hire Costs in Cambridge

Rates for a basic uplighting package in Cambridge start at £110 and rise to £850+ for full production with truss and an operator, with most bookings around £300. Crew time, travel distance and whether the rig stays in overnight are the main variables.

Reviews of Lighting Hire available in Cambridge, England, United Kingdom

5/5 from 84 reviews
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 (49 miles from Cambridge) Brendan Kearns - Private Photo of Max Marcus Events Max Marcus Events "Hi Max, We just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for all your hard work at the party on Saturday night.
