Sound, lighting & event production in Suffolk.
Professional sound, lighting, LED and full event production for weddings, corporate events, festivals and live shows across Suffolk — from Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds to the coast.
Across the border, not across the country.
MAV Hire supplies professional sound, lighting, LED video and staging for events right across Suffolk. From a wedding in a country house to a conference in Ipswich, a dinner in a Newmarket racecourse suite or a festival site, we plan every system around the venue, the audience and the day — and deliver it properly.
Our base at Roydon, just outside Diss, sits on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, so most of Suffolk is an easy drive. Stowmarket is about 18 miles away, Bury St Edmunds about 23 via the A143, Framlingham about 25, Ipswich about 26 down the A140, and Newmarket and Lowestoft about 35. We deliver, set up, support and de-rig, with delivery priced by distance in your quote.
Everything your event in Suffolk needs.
Audio & PA
FOH PA, monitors, wireless mics, DJ setups and live sound — sized to the room, from a speech in a village hall to a band in a marquee. See speaker hire and DJ equipment hire.
Lighting
Uplighting, stage wash, moving lights and effects to shape a room or a performance, on professional control. See uplighting hire.
Video & LED
LED video walls, TVs, projection and playback for conferences, awards nights and live shows. See LED screen hire.
Staging & Rigging
Stage decks, truss and rigging built safely and tidily around your venue and running order. See stage hire.
Power & Distribution
Single and three-phase distro, cabling and clean power, plus battery-powered PA for ceremonies where there's no mains at all.
Full Production & Crew
Planning, setup, live operation and de-rig — or straightforward dry hire where that's all you need.
Across Suffolk we also provide marquee and patio heater hire, hearing loop hire for halls, churches and meetings, and Martyn’s Law comms for venues and events.

“We used MAV Hire for an elaborate 50th birthday party at the Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk. The team were exceptional and were flexible to work with us with the complexity of the multi-site set up at the event.” — James Monico, Google review
