Viewable on our Facebook page" Based in Southampton, England (24 miles from Bournemouth) AlleyCatz LTD - Corporate Event Photo of Wessex Sound Hire - Audio Hire UK Wessex Sound Hire - Audio Hire UK "I hired some speakers, lights and a smoke machine for a party of 50 guests. The equipment quality is excellent, the service was seamless and highly professional and the prices are unbeatable. The drop off and collection service was smooth and punctual. Alex was great in advising the right equipment for the event. Will be using again!" Based in Southampton, England (24 miles from Bournemouth) Guy Mitchell Photo of ProLevel Live PA Hire ProLevel Live PA Hire "Attentive and friendly service, Highly recommended. Nick is a wonderful chap and endeavours to provide the best sound possible. I really enjoyed working with him and look forward to doing so more in the future!" Based in Eastleigh, England (29 miles from Bournemouth) Fred Clark Photo of Uk Karaoke Hire Ltd Uk Karaoke Hire Ltd "I honestly have to say that I am lost for words after this weekend. A few good reviews will always put you at ease when booking something, but I cannot tell you how much this company surpassed my expectations. Their communication was faultless. Dan arrived bang on time with the equipment, set everything up and showed us how to use it. We had the most fantastic evening, and the karaoke completely made the night! Any song you can dream up, more or less, is there. The following day, we didn't need to touch a thing - Dan returned and packed everything away. It was seamless, and really made the weekend. I would recommend this service to anyone with out hesitation. Thank you for making my best friend's hen party so special."

Pete Richards has provided lighting for our last two theatre productions and has always been helpful, efficient and calm. He delivers what he promises and his creative lighting has transformed our musicals. It is quite a rare thing to find an experienced technician who is outstanding in the work he produces as well as being a very pleasant person to work with. Pete Richards is that man.
