How hire works with us
Four steps from first call to event day. No agency middlemen, no being passed around.
01
Free venue walkthrough
A senior tech from our team walks the room with you, in person, before quoting. We look at the audience, the format and where the kit needs to live.
02
Honest recommendation
A written spec, not a sales pitch. The kit that holds the see-and-hear guarantee for your room, plus the price you will actually pay.
03
In, tuned, ready
We arrive in your venue load-in window. Kit goes up, mics tested with you, levels set, screen aligned. Calmly.
04
On the day, with you
The same operator who walked the room with you. Watching levels, swapping mic batteries, handling the moments the agenda forgot.
Three ways to hire
Pick the level that matches your team and your event.
Dry hire
You collect, set up, run the event, return. For production companies and freelance engineers who already know the kit.
Delivered
We bring it, set it up, tune it, hand it over, collect it after. Your team runs the event. For in-house marketing and venue teams.
Operated Most popular
We bring it, set it up, and a senior tech stays on. Same operator your whole event. The level the team recommends for AGMs, panels and gala dinners.

What our clients say
★★★★★
“We hired Steven for the late May bank holiday weekend for our Beer Festival. He came recommended to us and the recommendation was spot on. The sound and lighting provided was fantastic.”
Bill Rankin
★★★★★
“Utterly professional in every respect. Steven provided a full band setup (stage, PA, lights, live mixing) in a non-conventional 5m x 35m space for my wedding. The setup worked perfectly and the band sounded the best I have heard them in any venue.”
Kit Gallagher
★★★★★
“Steven is one of the loveliest chaps you will ever meet. Super professional. Great kit, usually has a great line-array system. As a performer I felt really well looked after.”

Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most from Manchester event teams.
How much does stage hire in Manchester cost?
Stage hire from £180 delivered. Larger multi-section rigs with custom heights and full skirting from £500.
What size stage do I need for my speakers?
Rough rule: 2m x 1m per speaker if they stay still, 4m x 2m if they move. We confirm on the walkthrough.
Can you build a stage on an uneven floor?
Yes. Our decks have adjustable legs and we level to within 1mm before the skirt goes on.
Do you include steps and skirting?
Standard. Black skirt and access steps are part of every stage package.
How long does setup take?
A standard 4m x 2m stage takes 30 to 45 minutes from kit-in to ready. Larger rigs scale linearly. We work to your venue load-in window.
