A system set up for the speeches first, then the dance floor. Uplighting in your colours, festoon over the tables, speakers aimed at the dancing rather than the neighbours.
Every milestone party has a speeches half and a dancing half, and hired speakers usually serve one badly. The toasts are muffled or squealing; then the music is thin and everyone stands around it.
We set the room up for the speeches first — a wireless microphone that works from any table, a level that reaches the back without shouting at the front — then the same system, with a sub, becomes the dance floor. Uplighting shifts from warm dinner colours to something deeper when the first song drops, and the neighbours hear less than you'd think because the speakers are aimed at the dancing, not the fence.
A dance floor that actually goes, a mic for the embarrassing speech, and a wind-down time agreed with the parents. Lighting that makes the photos.
Toasts that everyone hears, a playlist with the right decade in it, and a party that's loud where it matters and civil at the boundary.
A smaller wedding, a year early. Speeches, a slideshow if you want one, and a system that can carry a live musician.
Speeches first, dancing second, a screen for the photos in between, and a microphone that gets passed round the tables.
A mic for the blessings and speeches that carries to every table, music for the hora with some weight behind it, and lighting that moves from dinner to dance floor. We've run the sequence before and ask about it up front.
Set up quietly and early, music ready to hit on the word, and an operator who understands the timing matters more than anything.
The complaint every backyard party fears is mostly a placement problem. Speakers aimed at the dancing rather than the street, a sub that fills the yard instead of the neighbourhood, and a level that's set by someone listening from the boundary rather than the DJ booth. We set it that way, agree a wind-down time with you, and leave a number for the neighbours if you want one.

Extras: a DJ we trust, a live musician's set-up, a haze machine where the venue allows it, a gobo with a name or a number on the wall, a second mic for karaoke, and a lit path from the car park. Just want two speakers and a mic for a backyard? That's the Party Kit at $340.
Backyards and decks from Noosa to Caloundra, surf clubs and bowls clubs, community halls, hinterland sheds and barns, marquees on the lawn, and function rooms that were never built for a party. We're based in Coolum and travel is built into the quote.
Send the date, the venue, rough numbers and what kind of night it is. You'll have a written quote back within a day, we'll confirm a set-up time that suits the caterers, and on the night the only thing you'll think about is the speech.
A well-built playlist through a proper system works for most parties; we set it so tracks fade rather than stop. Want someone reading the room? We can supply a DJ or plug yours in.
Placement does most of the work: aimed at the dance floor and away from the fence, levelled from the boundary, with a wind-down time agreed in advance.
Yes, that's most of this work. Battery uplighting, festoon, a covered spot for the speakers and a rain plan agreed at set-up.
Only in the running order. A mic for the blessings and speeches, music for the hora with some weight, and lighting that moves from dinner to dance floor.
The smaller packages are set up, tested with you and collected in the morning. The big one comes with an operator all night.
