Frequently asked questions


Karaoke hire packages vary between providers, but a typical setup includes a karaoke machine or touchscreen kiosk, one or two microphones (usually wireless), a speaker system, and access to a digital song library. Some packages also include a screen or monitor for displaying lyrics, mood lighting, and a microphone stand. More comprehensive packages may add a full disco lighting setup, a smoke machine, or a large screen projector for bigger venues. Check whether the quote includes delivery, setup, and collection, as some companies charge these separately. If you are hiring a DIY package delivered by courier, confirm that all cables, instructions, and any accessories you need are included in the box.

Hosted karaoke means a professional presenter or DJ comes with the equipment and runs the session for you. They manage the song queue, introduce singers, keep the energy up between performances, and handle all the technical side. This is a good option for weddings, corporate events, and larger parties where you want someone experienced keeping things moving. Self-service (or DIY) hire means the equipment is delivered to your venue and you run it yourselves. Modern karaoke systems are designed to be straightforward to operate, often with touchscreen song selection and smartphone apps for queuing songs. DIY hire is usually cheaper and works well for smaller gatherings, house parties, and informal events where guests are happy to manage the queue themselves.

Professional karaoke hire companies typically offer libraries of between 50,000 and 120,000 tracks, covering everything from classic hits to current chart music. Most libraries include a broad mix of genres and decades, so there should be something for every guest. If there are particular songs you want to guarantee are available, check with your provider before booking. Some companies can add specific tracks on request if given enough notice, though this is not always possible. Many modern systems also allow guests to browse and queue songs from their own phones via a dedicated app, which makes the whole process quicker and avoids the need for printed song books.

Karaoke can work very well at wedding receptions, particularly during the evening entertainment. It gets guests involved and creates a lively, interactive atmosphere that is often more memorable than a standard playlist. Many couples use karaoke as the main evening entertainment, while others combine it with a DJ set so there is a mix of karaoke and regular dancing throughout the night. If you are considering karaoke for a wedding, a hosted package with a professional presenter is usually the better choice, as they can manage the flow of the evening, encourage participation from shyer guests, and keep things running smoothly. It is worth checking with your venue about any sound restrictions or curfew times, as these will affect how late the karaoke can run.

A standard karaoke setup does not need a lot of space. The equipment itself, including speakers, a screen, and the karaoke unit, can usually fit into an area of around 2 metres by 1 metre. You will also need enough clear space in front for whoever is singing, and ideally a bit of separation between the speakers and the audience so the sound carries well. If you are adding disco lighting, a larger screen, or a stage area, you will need more room. For house parties, a corner of a living room is usually fine. For larger venues, your karaoke provider can advise on the best positioning once they know the layout. Make sure there is access to mains power sockets near where the equipment will be set up.

If you are hiring a self-service package, most modern karaoke systems are designed to be plug-and-play. A typical setup involves connecting the speakers, plugging in the main unit, and switching it on. Wireless microphones usually just need to be turned on and they connect automatically. Many providers include step-by-step instructions and offer a telephone helpline in case you get stuck. Touchscreen systems and smartphone apps have largely replaced printed song books, making it quicker to find and queue songs. If you are not confident with technology or want everything handled for you, consider a hosted package where a technician or presenter sets up and operates the system. For courier-delivered DIY packages, allow around 20 to 30 minutes for setup and a quick test before your guests arrive.

The average price for karaoke on Last Minute Musicians is £612, with prices ranging from £25 to £2891. The cost depends on the type of package, the hire duration, and whether a host or presenter is included. A basic self-service package delivered by courier for a weekend hire is typically at the lower end of the range, while a fully hosted karaoke night with a professional presenter, premium sound system, and lighting will cost more. Factors that can affect the price include delivery distance, the length of the event, and any extras such as disco lighting, a smoke machine, or a large screen. When comparing quotes, check whether delivery, setup, and collection are included in the price or charged separately.

About these Karaoke

If you're looking for some fantastic entertainment on a budget, then karaoke is a brilliant way to add a whole new level of audience interaction to your event. Though it can seem daunting at first, all it takes is a couple of drinks and the right atmosphere, and soon even the most shy guest will be belting out their favourite songs!

There are many reasons why a live band may not be practical for an event. Rather than simply sticking on a CD or playlist, why not get your guests involved and give them the option to sing along to their favourite songs!

"Excellent communication from the start and very easy to organise. We had a fabulous night mostly had Karaoke but Gingers has all the songs you asked for. Everyone was either singing or dancing and had lots of people comment how good he was. Thanks for making our celebrations a blast!"

Karaoke Systems for Hire

Ideal for:

Karaoke will be perfect for a whole host of events. Their flexible set up allows them to fit into smaller venues. Birthday parties, weddings, charity events and all sorts of other functions will benefit from the addition of Karaoke!

When booking Karaoke:

One of the first things to consider about karaoke is whether or not you want the system manned by a DJ. Some providers give the option to simply show you how the machine works and leave you to it. Others may give the option to DJ between songs and to MC proceedings. If you want to add more order to things and avoid any potential for chaos, then the latter may be the better option.

Many venues will require your DJ to have all of their equipment PAT tested for electrical safety, as well as being able to provide adequate proof of Public liability Insurance. Discuss both with your Karaoke provider before hand.

Although most machines will come with a huge variety of songs available, if you have any particular favourites, then speak to your DJ in advance to make sure they can be provided.

Karaoke Trivia

Although this concept has been in the UK (and the rest of the world!) for many years now, the word "karaoke" is still one of this country's most incorrectly spelt words. Far more people get it wrong than right! All sorts of variations exist, the most popular being "karoke". However, you will also see shops selling "kareoke system or kareokee players" and "karokee or karioki discs" and even pubs advertising "karioke Nites". Did you spell it correctly!?

Based purely on requests made at our events, some of the most loved karaoke songs are:

  • "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams
  • "Hotel California" by the Eagles
  • "Imagine" by John Lennon
  • "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Andy Williams
  • "What a wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
  • "Daydream Believer" by the Monkees
  • "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley
  • "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" by Shania Twain
  • "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor
  • "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cindy Lauper
