  • Giant LED Letters

    We hire ‘GIANT’ illuminated letters. These are very popular for weddings, proms and birthday celebrations. You can have words like ‘LOVE’ – ‘MR & MRS’ – ‘PARTY’ – your initials or name, 18 / 21 / 40 for birthdays etc. The letters stand 5ft high, come in a white durable finish and are illuminated with white LED ‘Carnival’ lights. These look amazing behind a wedding top table, behind a singer on a stage, in the corner of your function room or as part of your wedding or party photo shoot. Contact us to discuss your requirements if you want to add this brilliant effect option to your party.

  • Up-Lighting

    Venue Up-lighting / mood lighting can completely transform the look and feel of a venue or function room. Discreetly hidden around the room, our LED lights can ‘wash’ the room in your selection of thousands of available colours. This is perfect to compliment a wedding colour theme or similar.

    The venue up-lighting can be used in a static/fixed single colour, can be set to slowly fade from colour to colour (like mood-lighting) or can flash to the beat of the music during the disco or entertainment. This is a relatively cheap way of transforming the look of your venue and adding a touch of ‘class & Sophistication’ to your party. Call us for prices and availability. This option is still available to hire, even if you do not book your entertainment with us! We supply up-lighting to venues where they have a resident DJ or band, who are unable to offer this service.

  • UV Party

    This is one of the latest party craze’s – perfect for kids/teen parties, 18th & 21st birthdays, engagements, school discos & proms, youth clubs etc. We kit your venue or function room out with a quality sound system, DJ, laser lights, smoke machine and our special UV LED black-lights around the room. The UV LED black-lights make everything that is white or fluorescent in colour glow up like neon, creating an amazing 3d effect. We also supply glow-sticks and UV body paint included in the price.

  • Quiz Nights

    Another classic form of entertainment, which is perfect for all ages. We can supply a few different types of quiz with various themes like general knowledge / music / sport etc. We can supply picture quizzes which can be more challenging and more difficult than a regular quiz. These come with a quizmaster, papers & pens, PA system and prizes for winners. Quiz nights can be a fun way of raising some funds for a charity or organisation.

    Unfortunately in this age of advanced technology and smartphones, it is very easy to cheat at regular quizzes as most people have google and apps at their fingertips that can provide answers in seconds and take the fun out of quizzing. To solve this problem, we can provide ‘Smart Quizzes’ which are more fun, more interactive and nearly impossible to cheat at. This involves one smartphone or tablet per team, downloading a free app and connecting wirelessly to our laptop network, the questions are read out and flash up on the devices, then the team has 10 seconds to hit a key on their device to answer. This eliminates the ‘marking’ of sheets, illegible writing, spelling discrepancies, paper & pens etc. It offers the extra features of things like ‘fastest finger first’ and the ability to forward promotions or adverts to the devices during the event, like drinks offers etc.

    We are also available to undertake regular pub / venue events with this service, if required
