Whether you’re planning a corporate conference in Reading, a wedding in Berkshire, or a festival in Surrey, high-quality sound, lighting, and staging can make or break your event. Poor audio or dim visuals can pull focus from the day, leaving guests distracted or disengaged. That’s why professional PA and AV hire is essential.

At Beatz Hire, we provide full event production services across Surrey, Berkshire and the South East. Our team supports everything from small private parties to multi-stage outdoor festivals, supplying industry-standard equipment and expert technicians to make your event seamless from start to finish.

Why Choose Professional PA and AV Hire for Any Event?

Avoid DIY Disasters

We’ve all been to events where the microphone cuts out during speeches or the sound system struggles to cover the room. DIY setups may save money upfront, but they often result in technical problems and stress on the day.

Reliable, High-Quality Equipment

We only stock pro-grade gear from RCF PA systems to Pioneer DJ setups. Regularly maintained and tested to guarantee reliability. Clear sound, bright visuals, and dynamic lighting help your event look and feel professional.

Expert Support

Our technicians handle delivery, setup, and on-site support, so you can focus on your guests rather than cables and settings. For festivals and larger productions, we provide full crews for stage management, changeovers, and real-time troubleshooting.

“The right sound and lighting doesn’t just support your event, it transforms it. Our job is to make sure the technical side feels effortless so you can focus on the experience.” - Jack Bridges

How to Choose the Right PA/AV Setup for Your Event

Venue Size and Audience Numbers

A small garden party doesn’t need the same rig as a 2,000-capacity festival. We assess audience size, acoustics, and layout to recommend the right system.

Indoor vs Outdoor

Outdoor events need weather-resistant equipment and wider sound coverage especially for festivals or community fairs.

Budget vs Quality

We offer single item dry hire for DIY setups and all-in-one packages for those who want a stress-free experience. See our dry hire page for smaller events or upgrades.
