Reviews of Sound & Lighting available in West Yorkshire

DJ Maverick TheGreatestShowman - SingerDJ
"Wow, what a gig, what a guy!"
Dave - Wedding
JN Audio
"Used JN Audio for two different rock gigs - The Darkniss & Rocket Rhapsody. Very professional, quick set-up and you can tell they care about the sound and want everything to be right. I would 100% recommend and definitely will be using again."
Joe Gash - The Darkniss / Rocket Rhapsody
DJ Crescendo with Sax/Vocals/Live Band
"Big Day Revolution played at our wedding in September 2024 and were fantastic! James was excellent to deal with, always quick to respond and very flexible in the approach. We shared a playlist for the DJ part of the night to give James an idea of the music we and our guests like. The dance floor was literally never empty (we even had people dancing before the first dance when the band were just sound checking). From that moment until 1am, the dance floor was never empty - which was exactly what we wanted! We had 2 band sets, 1 set with DJ and sax and then 2 DJ sets and they created a fantastic vibe! We can't thank them enough for playing their part in making our big day just incredible! We've had so many messages from our guests and they all comment on how great the music was! Thank you all again x"

Tom The Gen-X DJ
" Superb DJ. Highly recommend! Tom is a lovely guy who puts a huge amount of thought and passion into providing you with a truly personalised service with no glitches. He is a true professional. He came and met us in advance, checked out the venue and did thorough advance planning. On the night he read the room to perfection. Despite it being the hottest Saturday of the year and a very small wedding, the dance floor was never empty! He is competitively priced and worth every penny. If you book Tom for your special day, you definitely won’t be disappointed. Thank you Tom for a fantastic party and also the photos and videos you sent us of the evening. So funny to see everyone doing their best dad dancing etc! #happymemories! "

Frequently asked questions

Most bands and DJs listed on Last Minute Musicians bring their own PA system and lighting as part of their booking, so you would not usually need to hire equipment separately for the entertainment itself. However, there are situations where separate sound hire is worth considering. If your venue has a sound limiter and your band needs a quieter front-of-house system with more stage monitoring, a dedicated sound engineer with appropriate equipment can help manage levels without compromising the performance. You may also want a separate PA for earlier parts of the day, such as the wedding ceremony or speeches, where the band's system would not yet be set up. If you are unsure, check with your entertainment booking first and then contact a sound company to discuss any gaps.
The size of PA system you need depends on your audience size, the venue, and what the system will be used for. As a rough guide, speech-only events (such as wedding speeches or corporate presentations) need around 1 watt of amplifier power per audience member, while live music typically requires 3 watts or more per person. A small speech system with a single speaker and wireless microphone is usually sufficient for up to 100 guests in an enclosed room. For live bands or large spaces, you will need a more powerful system with multiple speakers, monitors, and a mixing desk. Outdoor events generally require more power than indoor ones because there are no walls to contain the sound. The best approach is to tell your sound company the venue name, expected guest count, and what the PA will be used for, and they will recommend the right setup.
Dry hire means you rent the equipment only, without a technician. The sound company will deliver and collect the gear, but you (or someone at your event) will be responsible for setting it up, operating it during the event, and packing it down afterwards. This can work well for simple setups like a single speaker for background music or speeches, provided someone is comfortable connecting and adjusting the equipment. Operated hire means the equipment comes with a trained sound engineer or technician who handles everything: setup, soundchecking, running the desk during the event, and packdown. This is strongly recommended for live music, multi-microphone setups, and any event where consistent sound quality matters. The cost difference is typically the addition of the engineer's day rate on top of the equipment hire fee.
Packages vary between companies, but a standard sound hire for a wedding or party typically includes PA speakers on stands, a mixing desk, microphones (wired and/or wireless), all necessary cabling, and often a set of basic stage or ambient lighting. More comprehensive packages may add stage monitors for performers, a subwoofer for bass-heavy music, uplighting or mood lighting for the venue, and a dedicated sound engineer. Some companies offer tiered packages based on guest count or venue size, while others quote on a bespoke basis after discussing your requirements. When comparing quotes, check whether delivery, setup, and collection are included or charged separately, and confirm whether the quote covers equipment only or includes an operator as well.
Yes, most sound and lighting companies can supply equipment suitable for outdoor use, but there are additional considerations. Outdoor events require weatherproof or IP-rated speakers and lighting, and the equipment will usually need a mains power supply run to the performance area. If mains power is not available at your outdoor location, some companies can provide a generator, though this needs to be positioned far enough away to avoid noise interference. Rain and moisture are the main risks, so a covered stage area or marquee is strongly recommended to protect both equipment and performers. Wind can also affect sound quality and may require adjustments to speaker placement. Discuss your outdoor plans with your sound company as early as possible so they can advise on power requirements and any equipment upgrades needed.
Setup time depends on the scale of the system. A simple speech PA with one or two speakers can be set up in around 30 minutes. A full live sound system with multiple speakers, monitors, a mixing desk, and stage lighting will typically need 2 to 3 hours, plus time for soundchecking once the performers arrive. Your sound company will need access to the venue well before the event starts, so check with your venue about load-in times and any access restrictions. In terms of space, a mixing desk and engineer usually need a position towards the back or side of the room with a clear line of sight to the stage area. Speakers are normally placed on stands either side of the performance area. Make sure cables can be run safely without crossing walkways, or ask your sound company about cable management options.
The average price for sound & lighting on Last Minute Musicians is £353, with prices ranging from £20 to £1000 depending on the scale of the setup and whether an engineer is included. A basic speech PA with a wireless microphone for a wedding ceremony or corporate event will be at the lower end of this range. A full live sound system with an engineer for a band performance or large party will cost more. Factors that affect the price include the amount of equipment needed, the duration of hire, whether an operator or sound engineer is included, and any travel or delivery charges. Outdoor events may also cost more due to the need for weatherproof equipment and potentially a generator. Request quotes from several companies, giving them your venue details, guest count, and a description of what the system will be used for, so they can provide accurate pricing.

Sound & Lighting Hire in West Yorkshire

Finding reliable sound and lighting hire near your venue makes a real difference to both cost and convenience. The companies listed here cover West Yorkshire and the surrounding area, offering everything from basic PA dry hire to fully managed production with a sound engineer on site.

PA hire for weddings and events

A PA system is essential for wedding speeches, background music and live performances. For speeches alone, a compact active speaker with a wireless microphone is usually enough. If you are also hiring a wedding band or singer, check whether they bring their own sound equipment or whether you need to arrange it separately. Many acts carry their own PA for smaller venues but may need additional support for larger spaces.

Choosing between dry hire and managed sound

Dry hire keeps costs down but means you are responsible for setup and operation. A managed service, where a sound engineer handles everything on the day, is worth considering for live music events or any venue where acoustics are tricky. When comparing quotes from companies in your area, check whether delivery, setup and collection are included.

Sound and lighting prices in West Yorkshire
