Immersive Elements · Help & Information
FAQs.
Answers to common questions about live music, audio hire, lighting, technical services and event production.
Planning and booking your event.
A good place to start if you are not yet sure exactly what you need.
What services do Immersive Elements provide?
Immersive Elements provides professional live music, audio hire, event lighting and technical production for weddings, corporate events, private events, brand activations and live productions.
You can book an individual service or ask us to bring several parts of the event together as one coordinated production.
How do I get a quote?
Send us your event date, venue or location, approximate guest numbers and a brief description of what you need. The more information you can provide, the more accurately we can plan and price the event.
For live music, you can also enquire directly from an artist profile.
Can you help if I am not sure what equipment or entertainment I need?
Yes. You do not need to know the technical specification before getting in touch. Tell us about the event, venue, audience and the result you want to achieve and we can recommend an appropriate solution.
What types of events do you work on?
We work across weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, live music events, product launches, brand activations and other productions requiring professional entertainment, sound, lighting or technical support.
Can I book more than one service together?
Yes. For example, we can provide the live band, PA system and venue lighting as one coordinated package, or combine audio and lighting with technical support for a corporate or private event.
Combining services also gives us a clearer view of the full event schedule and technical requirements.
How far in advance should I enquire?
As early as you comfortably can, particularly for popular weekend dates and larger productions. However, we can also help with shorter-notice events when equipment, crew and artists are available.
Live music and entertainment.
Bands, musicians, set times, song requests and evening entertainment.
How do I book a band or musician?
Browse our live music roster and send an enquiry from the artist profile, or tell us the style of entertainment you are looking for and we can suggest suitable options.
We will check the date, venue, location and performance requirements before confirming the final quote.
How long will a band perform for?
Performance times vary by act. Many party bands offer up to two hours of live music, commonly split into 2 × 60-minute sets or 3 × 40-minute sets.
The exact format will be shown or confirmed for your chosen artist.
Can the band learn our first dance or a special song?
Many acts can learn a first dance or special request. The number of requests included and any additional charge varies by artist, so send us the song when you enquire and we will confirm it.
Can we choose songs from the band’s set list?
Yes. You can let us know which songs or styles you particularly like. The band will normally use this alongside their experience of reading the room and building a set that keeps the dancefloor moving.
Is music provided between the live sets?
Many bands provide recorded playlist music between sets. Some acts also offer a manned DJ service, a separate DJ, DJ with saxophone or other entertainment upgrades.
Exact inclusions vary by act and will be confirmed in your quote.
Can you provide music for more than one part of the day?
Yes. Depending on the act, additional options can include acoustic sets, jazz, solo or duo performances, background music and evening party sets.
We can also curate different entertainment across the day using multiple artists where appropriate.
Professional audio hire.
PA systems, microphones, live sound, DJs, speeches and technical support.
What audio equipment can you provide?
We can provide professional PA systems, loudspeakers, subwoofers, digital mixing consoles, wired and wireless microphones, monitoring, cabling and associated live-sound equipment.
Systems can be built for speeches, DJs, live bands, corporate presentations and wider event production.
Can you provide a PA system for speeches?
Yes. We can provide clear, discreet speech systems with suitable microphones and technical support for weddings, presentations, conferences and private events.
Can you provide sound for a live band?
Yes. We can design a complete live-sound system around the band, venue and audience, including PA, monitoring, microphones, mixing, cabling and engineering.
We can also work from an artist or production rider where one is provided.
Can you provide audio for a DJ?
Yes. We can provide appropriately sized sound systems for DJs, parties and event spaces, with additional subwoofers and monitoring where required.
Do you provide an audio engineer?
Engineering and technical support can be included where the event requires an operated system. The level of support will be set out clearly in your quote.
Can you build a bespoke audio system rather than using a package?
Yes. Packages are useful for common event requirements, but larger venues, live productions and technical riders often need something more specific.
We can design the system around the venue, audience size, programme and technical requirements.
Lighting hire and design.
Stage lighting, room lighting, uplighting and complete event lighting packages.
What types of lighting can you provide?
We provide professional lighting for bands, stages, weddings, parties, corporate events and private events. This can include moving lights, wash lighting, uplighting, effect lighting, front light and atmospheric effects.
Can you light both the stage and the venue?
Yes. We can treat the performance area and the wider room as one design, helping the stage, dancefloor and venue feel connected rather than relying only on a small band lighting setup.
Do you offer uplighting?
Yes. Uplighting can be added to enhance walls, architectural features and the overall atmosphere of the room. We can match the look to the wider event design where appropriate.
Can the lighting be designed around a band or DJ?
Yes. We can create a lighting setup specifically around the performance space, line-up and style of event, whether you are using one of our artists or bringing in another performer.
Do you provide lighting technicians?
Technician support can be included for event lighting packages and production-led bookings. The crew requirement depends on the size of the setup, venue and event schedule and will be confirmed in your quote.
Can you work with the venue’s existing lighting?
Often, yes. If a venue already has suitable installed equipment, send us the venue information or technical specification and we can assess how it can be incorporated alongside any additional equipment required.
Technical services and production.
One technical team coordinating the practical side of your event.
What do you mean by technical services?
Technical services can include planning, equipment preparation, delivery, installation, operation and technical support across audio, lighting and live-event production.
The exact service is built around the requirements of the event.
Can you manage the audio and lighting as one production?
Yes. Combining audio and lighting through one technical team can simplify planning, access, setup and communication with the venue, artists and other suppliers.
Can you work from an artist or production rider?
Yes. Send us the rider and relevant venue information and we can assess the technical requirements, available equipment and any additional hire or production needed.
Can you liaise directly with the venue or event planner?
Yes. We can coordinate technical details with venues, planners, artists and other suppliers, including access times, power, performance areas, sound restrictions and the production schedule.
Can you support corporate events and brand activations?
Yes. Immersive Elements works with corporate events, product launches and brand activations as well as weddings and private events. We can provide entertainment, technical equipment and production support according to the brief.
Venue, access and logistics.
Setup, sound restrictions, power, access and practical event-day considerations.
How much setup time do you need?
Setup time depends on the size and complexity of the production. A simple system can be installed relatively quickly, while a larger band, audio and lighting setup requires a longer access window.
We will confirm the required access and setup time before the event.
What information do you need from the venue?
Useful information includes access times, loading arrangements, room or stage dimensions, available power, sound restrictions, installed equipment and the venue contact responsible for technical matters.
What if the venue has a sound limiter?
Tell us before booking if the venue uses a sound limiter, and provide the threshold if known. Strict limits can affect live bands, DJs and some types of production.
We can then assess whether the proposed entertainment and audio system are suitable.
Can you work outdoors?
Outdoor events are possible when suitable weather protection, safe power, a stable working area and an appropriate wet-weather plan are in place.
Send us the event details and we can advise on the practical requirements.
Do you travel outside Manchester?
Yes. Immersive Elements is based in Manchester and works on events throughout the UK. Travel requirements are considered when preparing your quote.
Do you provide delivery, setup and pack-down?
Delivery, installation, operation and pack-down can be included depending on the service and package being booked. Your quote will clearly state what is included for your event.
Pricing and your quote.
What affects pricing and how we confirm the final cost of your booking.
Are website prices the final price?
Where a service or artist is shown with a “From” price, this is a starting point rather than a final quote.
The final price can depend on the event date, venue, location, timings, travel, equipment, staffing and the exact service being booked.
Does travel affect the quote?
It can. Travel is considered according to the event location, equipment movement and the people required on site. Longer journeys may also involve additional travel time or accommodation.
Will early access or a late finish cost more?
It can. Earlier access, extended on-site hours or a later finish may increase staffing and production time. Tell us your full event schedule when enquiring so these requirements can be included from the start.
Can you quote for a completely bespoke event?
Yes. Not every event fits a standard package. We can build a bespoke quote around your venue, entertainment, technical requirements, guest numbers and production brief.
What is included in my quote?
Your quote will set out the agreed service, equipment, entertainment, staffing and relevant event timings. Any optional extras or additional requirements will be identified separately where appropriate.
