Sound and lighting equipment hire in the UAE

Sound and lighting equipment hire in the UAE usually costs from AED 300 for a basic PA system to AED 15,000 or more for a full concert-grade setup. The price depends on the event size, the power needed and whether an engineer comes with the kit. To see current prices for your date and city, describe the event in a request on BlaBlaPrice; it is free for buyers.

Why the range is so wide

Speakers for a birthday in a Dubai villa and a stage system for a 300-guest wedding are different jobs, so the quotes differ by about fifty times. Tell the supplier how many guests you expect, whether you need LED screens or special effects, and how many hours the equipment runs, because each of these changes the price. Some suppliers quote per day, others per event package, so compare the same hours and the same kit.

Power, venue and the season

Ask whether the venue has a power supply for the sound and lights; if not, a generator may need to be added to the quote. The climate is very hot from May to September, so outdoor sets are hard to plan in summer, while the mild winter from November to March is when outdoor events are easiest to run. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain are the main cities, so check that delivery and collection reach your city and when the crew arrives for set-up.

Licences and what to check in a quote

Renting out sound and lighting equipment is a licensed business in the UAE. The search results list a lighting-equipment trading licence at AED 12,000–25,000 for the first year, with the office package included, which is one reason small suppliers quote higher day rates. Before booking, ask the supplier for the trade licence details, who will operate the kit, what happens if a unit fails during the event, and whether delivery, set-up and collection are in the price.

To get offers, describe the event in a request on BlaBlaPrice: the date, the number of guests, the venue and the kind of event. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them. You can also send the request link to suppliers you already know. Related pages: Event supplies hire and Equipment hire, or send a request.
