About Our Entertainment & Film Service

The photographs are what you keep, and the music is what makes the room. We book and manage both, plus cinematography, photo booths, ceremony musicians, guest activations and the full AV and production stack that holds it all together.

This is an area where the marketplace matters most, because portfolio and reality diverge more here than anywhere else. Every photographer and band on our list has been seen working at a real event by someone on our team, not just assessed from a website. We also handle the unglamorous half — power, rigging, sound limits, load-in windows and backup equipment.

What’s Included

How It Works

We start with your three favourite images and three favourite songs, which tells us more than any brief. We then shortlist three suppliers in each category inside your budget, you meet them, we negotiate. Technical planning — power, rigging, sound limits — happens with the venue about eight weeks out.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on hours of coverage, whether you want a second shooter, and what is included in the delivery. At the lower end of any market you are generally buying someone’s first season, which is sometimes a bargain and should at least be a conscious choice. We will shortlist three photographers inside your number so you can compare like for like.

A good DJ reads a room better and costs a third as much; a good band is an event in itself and needs more space, more power and a longer load-in. Many of our clients do a band for the first two hours and a DJ after, which we can package as one booking.

Ninety minutes for couple portraits and family groups is comfortable; an hour is tight; thirty minutes means you will be disappointed. We build it into the timeline properly and we will push back if the schedule does not allow it.

Every contract we negotiate includes a replacement clause, and our network means we can usually have an equivalent shooter on site within hours. It has happened four times in eighteen years and every couple got their photographs.

Yes — staging, line arrays, projection, confidence monitors, show-calling and streaming. The corporate AV team is the same crew, and they bring redundant equipment as standard rather than as an upsell.

Why Choose Us for Entertainment & Film?

We have seen these suppliers work. That is the whole pitch, and it is rarer than it sounds. We also hold the technical relationship with the venue, so the “there is not enough power for the band” conversation happens eight weeks out at a desk, not at 4pm on the day.
