Which Entertainment and AV Is Best for Your Event?
For a wedding, a wedding sound system with uplighters or moving heads, a dance floor and a 360 photo booth cover the speeches, the dancing and the guest memories. For a ruracio or ngurario, a PA with microphones for the programme is usually the first priority, with a stage if there is a formal handover. Corporate events, conferences and launches need microphones, a PA, a projector or LED screen and a stage, and a photo booth or branded props make a good activation.
For a children’s party, start with a bouncing castle that fits your space and add a face painter, clown, magician or popcorn and candy floss stations to fill the programme. A graduation or award ceremony works with a PA, microphones and a projector or screen for slideshows, and an outdoor garden event needs weather-aware placement of sound and lighting, with the equipment under cover.
How Much Does Entertainment and AV Hire Cost in Nairobi?
Entertainment and AV hire in Nairobi starts from KES 1,500 for activity workshops and goes up to KES 120,000 for a professional line array sound system. Sound starts at KES 8,000 for a microphone set, bouncing castles from KES 8,500, a 360 photo booth from KES 25,000, dance floors from KES 3,400 and a projector at KES 10,000. Your final quote depends on the equipment, quantities, hire duration, venue access and power needs. An 80% deposit secures your date, and delivery and collection are quoted separately by distance.
How Should I Plan My Entertainment Setup?
Start with the programme: speeches, music, dancing, children’s activities and any presentations. Then tell us the guest count, venue size, indoor or outdoor setting, the area where guests will stand or sit and the power supply, because sound, lighting, LED screens and most inflatables need electricity. For bouncing castles and slides, share the size of the flat area you have available, and for dance floors and stages, the footprint you want, so we can confirm what fits. If you need an operator or technician for any item, ask when you enquire and we will confirm it in your quote.
What Is Included in Entertainment and AV Hire?
Your hire covers the agreed equipment, checked before dispatch, setup by our crew and collection after the event, with delivery and collection quoted separately by distance from our Waiyaki Way yard. Sound, lighting, screens and activity equipment are tested during setup where required. You can combine entertainment with décor, chairs, tables and linen and tents in the same quote.

Estates have their own rules, so check with the management office or residents’ association about delivery access, loading hours, noise and parking before your event. For apartments and venues with stairs or lifts, tell us the floor and the access route so the crew can plan the delivery. Send us your estate or town when you enquire, and we will confirm availability and the transport cost.
Indoor, Outdoor and Weather Conditions
We set up entertainment in homes, halls, hotels, gardens, church compounds, schools and under tents and marquees. Electrical equipment such as sound, lighting and screens needs protection from rain, and inflatables need a safe, level area. We cannot control the weather, so if rain or strong wind is possible we recommend placing equipment under a tent, marquee or roof; if weather stops an outdoor event, you can choose another venue or agree a suitable new date with us. Share your venue details when you enquire so we can plan the setup.
How Far in Advance Should You Book Entertainment?
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead for weekend events, and 4–6 weeks ahead for large sound or LED screen setups, popular kids’ attractions or peak periods such as December, Easter and August. Last-minute bookings are possible, subject to availability. An 80% deposit secures your date, and the remaining 20% balance is due on delivery, after setup is complete and you have confirmed and accepted all items. Send your date, venue and guest count on WhatsApp at +254 792 788 442 and we will reply with an itemised quote.
