Daniel Lay Event Services

AV Technician Hire in London, Surrey, Kent & Sussex

Hire an experienced AV technician to set up and run the sound, lighting and screens at your event, across London, Surrey, Kent and Sussex. Our technicians look after conferences, awards evenings, product launches, weddings and parties, so the microphones work first time, presentations play on cue and the music sits at the right level all night.

We’ve supplied staging, lighting and screens for events such as the Mid Kent College Oscars and the Legal & General awards at The Landmark Hotel London. Tell us what’s happening on the day and we’ll put together the right technician and equipment in one quote.
