Hiring Speakers and a PA: What to Know

Speaker hire is the simplest way to make sure everyone hears the toasts and the playlist. A portable PA covers a backyard birthday in Blaxland or Faulconbridge, while a wedding in a big Katoomba ballroom needs more coverage and a second microphone.

Suppliers here cover the main ridge from the Lower Mountains to Blackheath, and one also brings gear to valley properties.

What speaker hire can include:

  • Portable PA packages with a microphone, from $110
  • Wireless handheld and lapel microphones for speeches and ceremonies
  • Larger systems with subwoofers for live bands and bigger crowds
  • Delivery, setup and a technician if you would rather not run it yourself

Ask how long the hire period runs and whether delivery is charged separately. For lighting and screens as well as sound, see AV hire.

If a DJ is booked, check whether their own speakers cover speeches before hiring a second system. Cold, damp nights are hard on electronics, so keep gear under cover between sets.

Choosing the right system

  • A single powered speaker and microphone handles most house parties
  • Ceremonies outdoors need a wireless mic that cuts through wind
  • Halls with high ceilings echo, so two smaller speakers often beat one loud one

On the day

  • Place speakers in front of the microphone, not behind, to avoid feedback
  • Test every microphone before guests arrive
  • Tape cables down away from walkways and dance floors

Questions to ask

  • Is delivery and collection included in the price?
  • Can a technician stay for the speeches?
  • What happens if a speaker or microphone fails mid-event?

Questions About Speaker & PA Hire

How much does speaker hire cost in the Blue Mountains?

PA packages on this page start at $110. Larger systems with more speakers or a technician are quoted to the event.

Can I pick up a PA system in Katoomba instead of having it delivered?

Some suppliers allow pickup from their premises. Ask when you book, and check the gear works before you leave.

Do I need a technician for a small backyard party in Springwood?

Usually not, as portable PAs are simple to set up. A short run-through at pickup or delivery is enough for most people.

Will a portable speaker work for a ceremony at a windy Leura garden?

Yes, if it comes with a wireless microphone and is placed close to guests. Ask for a lapel mic for the celebrant if wind is likely.

Which PA suits a wedding speech in a Blackheath guesthouse?

A compact system with two speakers and a wireless microphone covers most function rooms. Check the venue's volume limit first.
