Wedding Ceremony
Make sure your vows and readings can be heard clearly. We can supply discreet speakers, microphones and battery-powered options where running cables is difficult or undesirable.
Wedding PA Hire, Sound & Lighting
Clear, reliable sound for wedding ceremonies, speeches, background music and evening celebrations. We provide PA equipment, wireless microphones and lighting for the different parts of your day, with the setup chosen around your venue and what you've got planned.
Wedding Sound Without the Stress
There is a lot happening on a wedding day. The last thing you want to worry about is whether everyone can hear the ceremony, whether the speeches are loud enough or whether the music will work when the evening reception gets underway.
Soundtech PA Hire provides professional wedding sound systems for the different parts of your day. We can supply discreet equipment for a ceremony or speeches, or put together everything needed for the ceremony, reception and later entertainment.
We can deliver and set everything up for you, so the equipment is ready when you need it. If you're planning something a bit unconventional, let us know what you've got in mind and we'll help work out the best way to achieve it.

Suitable sound systems can provide music during guest arrival, drinks receptions, meals and other quieter parts of the day without overpowering conversation.
Evening Reception
For DJs, playlists or live entertainment, we can supply a more powerful PA system with the coverage and low-end performance needed for the evening celebration.

Planning Your Ceremony Sound
For the ceremony we'll need to know where it's being held, roughly how many guests there are and whether you need microphones, music playback or both.
Wedding Speeches & Wireless Microphones
For speeches, the main aim is simple: everyone in the room should be able to hear clearly. So we look at how many people are speaking, where they'll be standing, where the guests are sitting and how the room is laid out.
We can arrange the microphones and PA to suit how you're running the speeches, rather than making everyone work around a fixed setup.
Wedding Lighting & Atmosphere
Lighting can make a noticeable difference to an evening reception, but it doesn't need to be complicated. We can supply LED lighting alongside the PA system, from simple room uplighting to more active lighting around the dance floor.
A few uplighters may be enough for a smaller room, while a dance floor or live band will usually need something with more oomph.
Room & Mood Lighting
LED uplighting can add colour to walls and other features around the room without taking up much space.
Dance Floor Lighting
For the reception, lighting can add movement and colour around the dance floor while the music is playing.
PA & Lighting Together
If we're supplying both sound and lighting, we can plan them together so everything suits the room and your entertainment.
What Happens on the Day?
Before the wedding, we'll agree the setup times and practical details with you. On the day we'll deliver, set up and test the equipment, and if you've booked an engineer they'll stay to run the sound. Afterwards we'll pack everything down or collect it as agreed.
Delivery
We can deliver the equipment to your wedding venue as part of the agreed hire arrangement.
Installation
The equipment is positioned, connected and made ready before the ceremony, speeches or entertainment begins.
Testing
Microphones, speakers and playback equipment are checked before the system is needed.
Collection
Everything can be dismantled and collected as part of the agreed arrangement, leaving you to enjoy the rest of your day.
