MAV Hire Reviews

Don't just take our word for it!

We used MAV Hire for an elaborate 50th birthday party at the Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk. The team were exceptional and flexible with the complexity of the multi‑site set up. The equipment was great quality and they had a wide range of sound and lighting. Definitely recommend.

We were so impressed with the lighting and sound team for our wedding. The visuals were stunning and everything we envisioned was brought to life beautifully, especially the uplighters on the trees, which created such a magical atmosphere. The team were responsive over WhatsApp in the lead‑up, which made planning easier. On the day, the equipment was top‑notch and having a sound engineer onsite for the speeches was a real bonus. Highly recommend.

Mike and his team were absolutely exceptional. They provided an above‑and‑beyond service. You’d be hard pressed to find a team who can deliver such professional sound and lighting at such a reasonable price. As well as lasers, smoke machines and a powerful PA, Mike added some uplights, which gave our festival sign extra magic. Would highly recommend.

Renting from MAV was excellent. The speakers sounded great and the email response was very fast. They delivered the equipment to the venue and, instead of leaving it at the drive, carried it to the stage and set it up, which was a massive help. Thanks a lot guys.

Mike set up a brilliant PA system for our marquee wedding and ensured great sound across the 80ft × 40ft marquee. The sound quality was excellent and perfect for the afternoon acoustic singer, the speeches and background music. Mike even came on the day for the speeches just in case there were any issues. He also arranged some great outdoor lighting for us at short notice. Would definitely use him again and highly recommend.

McLanahan Corporation - Open Day Corporate Event. Mike from MAV Hire supplied our AV needs including microphones, speakers and a TV, as well as a couple of other bits. The equipment was installed well ahead of schedule, worked perfectly all day and MAV Hire were really easy to work with. Highly recommended.
