Here at London Speaker Hire we know exactly what makes a good party. Not only does a good party involve cocktails, it is in itself a giant cocktail of different elements that mix together to make a delightful experience. You don't even have to have an excuse for a good party but it certainly helps. Whether it's your stag do, a big wedding anniversary or a significant birthday, London Speaker Hire has got the exact ingredients for an incredible night.

"The Glass"

If it's a cocktail you call it the glass, if it's a party you call it the venue. Just like a cocktail you choose the shape, size and type of venue to suit the purpose and style of the event. If it's a huge event where the costs are spread over many elements, such as a wedding, then it may be best to hire a community hall or the function room in a hotel. If you’re having a more intimate event, such as a 21^st birthday, hold it at your house and bring all the party gear to you.

"The Flavours"

You might want to provide nibbles at a party or even have a meal beforehand; it all depends on what sort of event it is. For formal events like weddings, charity dos and balls you will probably arrange a sit down meal provided by a catering company. For more chilled events, such as birthday parties at home, you could provide a finger buffet or nibbles to stop people from getting too drunk.

"The Colours"

The colours in a cocktail are a result of the mixture of alcohol and juices which combine to make their distinctive appearances. At a party the colours come from decorations, lighting and possible fancy dress costumes. Having a theme for your party adds a lot of fun, as people can dress up and it provides scope for the kind of decorations you buy.

"The Alcohol"

What do parties and cocktails really have in common? Alcohol, obviously. One of our coolest pieces of equipment is the Jagermeister machine. This is perfect for birthday parties between the 18-30 mark, New Year's dos or hen/stag nights. These deliver ice cold shots that you can drink alone or use to make Jagerbombs. This will add a touch of excitement to any party as well as quickly helping a party get into full swing.

"The Mix"

The method of mixing a cocktail brings all the ingredients smoothly together to create one fantastic blend of taste. The mix of a party is the music because it gives atmosphere and has a habit of bringing everyone together. The best parties have well thought-out soundtracks and a capable DJ. We provide a variety of sound desks and mixing decks to create the perfect play list.

So there you have the recipe for an incredible party. Mainly, it's not what you do at a party that matters it's who's there to celebrate with you. Sometimes though, the little things like lighting, drinks, games and gimmicks really help to boost the atmosphere and make it a night to remember.
