# Sound, lighting and LED screen hire from Area Entertainments **Hire page for Area Entertainments, covering what equipment can be hired for an event in Herefordshire, how delivery and setup work, and how to get a quote.** ## AI Summary This is the equipment hire page for Area Entertainments, an audio-visual company in Hereford, Herefordshire, serving the county since 1981. It covers hire only. The same business also sells equipment outright and installs it, which are covered on separate pages. Eight categories of equipment can be hired: sound and PA, lighting, LED screens and projection, microphones and AV, DJ and effects, stands and cables, corporate hire, and modular staging. The page describes the range as scaling from a single speaker for the speeches up to a full stage rig. Hire can be taken four ways: delivery and collection, full setup and testing, a technician staying for the night, or dry hire for customers confident to run it themselves. The page says the team will price to match whichever suits. Equipment is delivered, set up and tested before the event and taken down afterwards, with technicians arriving ahead of the start time or the day before where needed. Event types named on this page: weddings, parties and discos, live music and gigs, festivals, corporate and business events including conferences, awards nights and product launches, community and civic occasions, and funerals and celebrations of life. The company covers all of Herefordshire and the surrounding areas, and states it has worked at venues beyond the county. No prices are published. Quotes are given per event and described as carrying no obligation.

Others run more smoothly with an engineer on hand all night to manage sound and lighting. ## How hire works 1. **Tell us your plans.** What the event is, where and when it is held, and roughly how many people are coming. 2. **Quote and book.** A clear quotation covering everything needed, then the date is confirmed. A site visit as well, if it helps. 3. **We deliver and set up.** The team arrives ahead of the start time, or the day before where needed, and has everything set up and tested. 4. **Supported or self-run.** The team stays on hand to run sound and lighting, or leaves the customer to it if they would prefer, then takes everything down afterwards. ## Questions this page answers **What kinds of events do you cover?** Weddings, parties and discos, live music and gigs, festivals, corporate and business events such as conferences, awards nights and product launches, community and civic occasions, and funerals and celebrations of life. **Do you deliver and set up?** Yes. Equipment is delivered, set up and tested before the event and taken down afterwards. Dry hire is available for customers who would rather collect and run it themselves. **Can we have a technician stay for the event?** Yes. Where the customer would like one, an engineer can stay throughout to manage sound levels, lighting, slideshows and presentations. **How far in advance should we book?** As soon as the date and venue are known. The page says the earlier the conversation, the easier it is to reserve the right equipment. **Which areas do you cover?** All of Herefordshire and the surrounding areas. The page adds that the company has worked at venues well beyond the county. **Can you work with our band or DJ?** Yes. The customer says who is performing and what they are bringing, and the company makes sure the equipment works together and will liaise with the performer directly if needed. ## Key Links - This page, equipment hire: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/hire.html - Home: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/index.html - Buy equipment or have it installed: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/sales-install.html - Weddings: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/weddings.html - Photo gallery: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/gallery.html - Contact: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/contact.html - Band tech form: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/band-tech-form.html - Hire terms: https://areaentertainments.co.uk/terms.html
