3 mins read

Parties are a nice way to celebrate important moments in life with family and friends. Apart from having fun and making merry, a bash creates an opportunity for people to bond, make new connections, and celebrate each other as they have a good time. However, this only happens if the one hosting the party is well organized and prepared in advance. It means having a checklist of everything you will need for a successful event, ticking each item off as you go.

Alongside food, refreshments, decorations, and furniture, entertainment is among the must-have items on your checklist. In the latter case, getting the right gear and equipment will help keep your guests entertained to avoid a dull event. In this piece, we shall cover some tips on how to get gear that keeps the party wild.

1. Understand the Gear and Accessories You Need

Before we go any further, you need to know the right entertainment essentials to get depending on the type and size of the party you are holding. As anyone would think, it all starts by planning for sound and audio. And maybe also some party costumes and other supplies.

Sound Speakers and Audio Source:

To choose the right audio equipment for your party, you will need to consider the size of your space as well as how loud you need the music to be. If you are expecting a huge crowd and want the party to be really wild, high-quality DJ speakers are among the first things to think about. This way, you can invite a DJ that will really keep your guests immersed in the sound and dancing to every beat. If you are holding a kickback or a casual party, you will also need decent sound but power output may not be mandatory. Apart from sound speakers, other equipment you may need include:

  • Live-sound mixers – can be used with multiple audio sources
  • Microphones – enable karaoke, announcements, speeches, etc
  • Laptop or mobile device – music sources
  • RCA cables (aux cords)

If you are unsure which audio setup is best for you, you can consider consulting with a sound engineer or technician for inspiration.

Lighting Equipment:

Proper lighting goes hand in hand with good sound as far as entertainment gear is concerned. It gives a vibe to your party and brings out the mood you want to set for your guests. While there are different types of interior lighting, great lighting creates ambiance and introduces effects that keep the party going. On this note, you may need to think about:

  • Color washes – like LED wash lights (some allow mobile remote control)
  • Fog machines – bring out a Halloween effect in your party
  • Lasers – project intricate lights in peculiar patterns onto ceilings and walls
  • Strobe lights – these project flashes of light regularly for that wild effect. It can even be programmed to be in rhythm with the music beats.

Again, you could choose to hire an event lighting technician if you’re out of ideas and not on a slim budget.

2. Purchase Party Gear Online

The best thing about this age and day of advanced technology is the convenience it brings. When setting up a party, you can purchase all your entertainment gear online and have it delivered right to your doorstep or venue. Before making the purchase, do not forget to do some research and read through reviews online to make a pick you won’t regret.

3. Hire Entertainment Equipment from Professionals

As already hinted, hiring entertainment equipment is another great idea, especially when planning a party on a slim budget. The best thing about this is that you may not even need to worry about the setup. Most event equipment rental service providers will avail their technicians to help you with the assembly and disassembly. They also take care of transportation depending on the arrangement you have with them. This can be a great option, especially when throwing a massive party.

4. Borrow from Friends

Finally, we can’t sum it up without mentioning this one. You could have a friend or two with a great sound system or audio equipment they could lend. If you are working on a tight budget, you can save a considerable amount of money by borrowing audio gear from one or a few close buddies.

Just about anyone can organize a party and make it lit. However, it requires proper planning to ensure you get everything right and put together an unforgettable event. Hopefully, the above few pointers will help you get it right when it comes to finding entertainment gear that will keep your party lit and wild. All the best!
