Planning an event is exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also be a logistical headache. Coordinating sound, lighting, DJ gear, and production setup separately often leads to miscommunication, surprise costs, and unnecessary stress. That’s where complete DJ and sound packages come in. In this guide, we’ll break down what these packages typically include, how to choose the right setup, and why Beatz Hire offers some of the most trusted solutions on the market.

What’s Included in a DJ & Sound Package?

A complete DJ and sound package brings together all the essential production elements into one cohesive, ready-to-use solution. Depending on the event size and style, here’s what a full package can include:

Professional DJ setup – e.g. Pioneer CDJ 3000s, DJM A9 or NXS2 mixers, RMX remix units, and all cables/network switches

  • Speaker systems – RCF full-range tops and subwoofers for crisp highs and punchy bass
  • Lighting – Uplighting packages, stage washes, effects (lasers, mood lighting)
  • On-site support – Setup, breakdown, and in-event technician (if required)

These packages are designed for festivals, corporate events, weddings, club nights, and private parties. Whether you’re hosting 50 guests or 2,000, Beatz Hire offers scalable setups tailored to your event.

"What sets us apart isn’t just the kit it’s how we bring it together with experience and care. Our job is to make your night effortless," says Jack Bridges, Event Production Specialist at Beatz Hire.
