What size PA system do I need for my event?

As a rough guide: Basic Set for up to 50 guests, Party Set for up to 100, Dance Set for up to 150, and the Ultimate or Array Set for 150–200+ guests. Message us your guest count and venue and we'll recommend the right set.

Can I hire a full DJ setup, not just individual pieces?

Yes — we hire individual DJ gear (Pioneer CDJ-3000, DJM-900NXS2, XDJ-RX3, DJ booth) as well as complete PA + DJ + lighting packages, so you can book everything you need in one place.

How far in advance should I book?

Weekends and peak party/wedding season book out fastest, so we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks ahead where possible — but get in touch even for last-minute requests, as we can often still help.
