Parties are fun, but planning them, not so much. There are so many things to do – creating a guest list, setting a budget, finding a good venue, and booking various party equipment rentals. And if you’re struggling with the latter, we’re here to help.

Here at Rent For Event, we’ve been to and done more parties than we can even remember. And when talking to event planners, one thing they often find daunting is choosing the right equipment. After all, AV equipment is technical and it can ruin the celebration if not done right.

Still, finding the right event equipment rental shouldn’t scare you from throwing the best party in town. Below, our elite AV team created a selection of party essentials that you should have on your list. 

Party Equipment Rental

Essential Audio Visual Equipment Rental For Parties

When it comes to throwing a memorable party, your choice of AV equipment is the make-or-break part. Whether it’s just a small house party or a rave, here are some basic audio equipment essentials we recommend: 

1.   Audio Equipment Basics

Good sound quality is paramount when hosting any type of party. You should ensure that all the guests will enjoy the music, hear every announcement, and stay in the loop of the program. With that, you should get these sound system rentals:

  • Speakers. Is it even a party without high-quality speakers blasting head-nodding beats? At Rent For Event, we provide you with concert-quality speakers that match the number of your guests and your venue.
  • Microphones. You should look for top brands when booking microphone rentals. Some good options are AKG, Sennheiser, and Shure. You can also choose from wired and wireless options, depending on your intended application.
  • Mixer. A mixer allows you to control and adjust the sound levels of different audio sources. This way, your guests will be comfortable listening to the music, speeches, and other audio elements.

Here’s a quick look at how we incorporate audio equipment rentals in a private party:

2.   Party Stage

You should also set the stage for your party with the right stage rental solutions. This way, your guests will see the live performances and presentations wherever they are in the venue.

If you’re hosting a party in an open venue, you should get an outdoor stage rental made to withstand harsh elements.

Whether it’s indoor or outdoor, you should look for a provider like Rent For Event that can give you a well-designed stage that suits your event’s needs. Our team will consider the size, height, and safety of our stage to ensure that your party will go without a hitch.

3.   Party Lighting

Aside from audio and staging, lighting also brings any party to life. Lighting equipment rentals can transform a plain venue into a nightclub in Bushwick. It’s a great way to set the mood and ambiance of the party, whether it’s an intimate affair or a wild night of dancing.

Here are some of the party lighting essentials our clients often book from us: 

  • Ambient Lighting. If you’re hosting a laidback party, you can opt for soft and warm lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. You can also use our string lights rental for a touch of elegance.
  • Dance Floor Lighting. For dance parties, we can provide you with disco lights, strobe lights, lasers, and LED dance floor panels. All these dynamic lighting options will energize your guests and keep the fun going.
  • Uplighting. You can use uplighting rentals to highlight the architectural features of your venue or decorate boring areas. Overall, uplighting adds depth and sophistication to your party.
