Choosing the right sound and lighting setup can make or break an event. Most issues come from hiring the wrong speakers, not using enough subs for the room size or trying to mix individual items that were never meant to work together. Packages remove the stress. You get a system that already works as one, with the right cables, the right power and the right design for your venue and crowd size.

This guide explains what you need for festivals, weddings, club nights, corporate events and private parties. It also shows how to pick the correct system based on how many people are attending. Throughout the guide, you will find direct links to our sound packages and DJ packages so you can book the exact equipment you need.

We cover the entire South East, including London, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Sussex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Hampshire.

Why Event Packages Make More Sense Than Hiring Individual Items?

When people search for event sound hire, festival equipment hire, event lighting packages or complete event hire package, they are normally looking for one thing. A setup that works without messing around.

A proper package gives you:

  • The correct speakers for your crowd size
  • Enough bass to avoid distortion
  • A mixer that matches the equipment
  • Lighting that suits the event style
  • All cables and accessories included
  • One delivery and one collection

Hiring individual items often leads to mismatched equipment or not enough power for the space. A package solves that from the start.

“A well built sound and lighting package does more than fill a room, it sets the entire atmosphere for the event.”

Festival Packages, What You Need For Small, Medium and Large Crowds

Small Outdoor Festivals or Community Events (Up to 200 People)

A clean two-top, two-sub setup is normally enough.

Medium Festivals (200 to 500 People)

You need a proper PA with more power and more coverage. This is where our Sound Package 500 is ideal:

Sound Package 500
8x RCF HDL 36 line-array speakers
4x RCF 9004AS subs

2x RCF 12-inch tops
2x 18-inch subwoofers
Sub poles, cables and optional setup

Wedding Sound and Lighting Packages That Actually Work
