Throwing a really memorable party takes some foresight and a few bucks. You can't scrimp on the budget to earn a solid party rep. You need good music, live or on disc, doesn't really matter if the sound is great. Good food and fun people can make or break your party. The drinks and supplies should be plentiful. Rent a brilliant mobile lights and sound setup to round it all out.
1.Check out the room or the building where you will hold your party to make a plan. Decide what kind of lighting and sound you want, where it will be set up and who will run the systems.
2.Ask the band or the disc jockey if they supply any of their own sound system supplies. You don't want to rent pieces that are already included in the DJ package. The band may need you to rent microphones, but carry their own amps. Don't assume they have everything they need and don't rent supplies you won't use.
3.Find a business that rents everything. A one-stop party outlet can save you time running around and working out delivery schedules. Sometimes you can work a better deal when you rent more than one system. Try to get all your supplies from the same outfit.
4.Read the contract before you sign. Look for small print where extra charges are often hidden. Some party supply companies charge huge late fees, while others don't have any insurance written in their package.
5.Use a professional or friend who knows how to run the equipment. Renting sound and lighting for a party is going to cost you enough, you don't want to end up buying the stuff just because someone inexperienced ruined the equipment.
6.Keep partygoers away from the rented equipment. Often, drunks think they know how to run expensive sound and lighting equipment and wind up creating havoc and accidents. Be clear to your guests that the equipment has a designated operator.
