Corporate Event London
Sound In The City provided full sound and visual enforcement for a recent corporate event in London with on-site technicians offering technical support.
We used our conference pa system with professional microphones along side two Sharp 80” screen’s showing a PowerPoint presentation. The evening presentation required a full DJ set with our new Acrylic DJ stand for the equipment.

HS Projects
Sound in The City was recommended to us and it was one of our best decisions to get in touch!
Sound in The City’s service is first rate, they work really hard to ensure their customer’s vision is realised.
In our case we curated a group exhibition of contemporary art in Victoria London, which involved sourcing a range of large screens and other AV kit.
During the 6-week period of the exhibition, the supplied kit functioned perfectly including delivering a little magic, so what more can you ask for.
We’re now working hard to create another excuse to work with Sound in The City again.

2013-Organic Food Awards Ceremony
Sound in the City provided all of our AV requirements for our recent Organic Food Awards ceremony. We meet at the venue to look at the event space beforehand and discussed our requirement’s to cater for an audience of up to 150 guests. The team was extremely helpful in planning a set to suit an unusual event venue and a limited events budget.
Their technicians were always pleased to help on the event day and worked to a very limited set up time as well.
We were all very pleased with the service received. Thank you!

2013-New Designers Exhibition
@ London Business Design Centre
"This is the second year we've worked with Sound In The City at the annual New Designers exhibition at the London Business Design Centre, Islington, and I'd recommend their services unreservedly.
In addition to the supply and install of their pristine audio-visual equipment on-site, they work closely with us throughout the preparation period.
Sound In The City always offers invaluable advice in terms of ensuring our vision for the exhibition can be accomplished and is always quick to respond to enquiries.
This year, our stand won 'Best In Show', and working with Sound In The City was integral to our success."

As an insurance broker it is my job to search around and compare different suppliers. After a lot of research, I found "Sound In The City" and I am glad I did. Not only was the equipment delivered and installed exactly on time but they took the time to make sure my attached laptop was completely working before they left us to it. They collected exactly at the time agreed with no problems. I found Sound In The City to be professional, knowledgably, courteous and above all very reasonable on price. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs equipment hire. They are now a part of my ‘tool kit’.

We asked Sound In The City to source 4 large TVs for showing digital fine art in a Cork Street Gallery in London. Their advice was extremely helpful, delivery and pick-up was spot on time and they personally talked us through a few problems we were having - all in all, a great job and we'd happily use Sound In The City again.

I must commend your engineer for his professionalism and pleasant manner yesterday. He just came in and “got on with it” at both ends of the day, which was a bonus for us while we were setting up and clearing up.
Your open and swift communication throughout the process really gave me confidence throughout, in an area that I freely admit I don’t have. I shall definitely recommend Sound in the City to our Office Manager, and to the hotel Events Manager, in the hope that we can help to increase your business.
Best wishes and sincere thanks once again.

Weldon International
I contracted Sound in the City and used their excellent services at a high profile book launch event in the company of the Chinese government. Despite bringing in Sound in the City at the last minute, they were hands on, fully accommodating and full of ideas, not once were we confronted with 'it's not possible, it's too late now'. They took on all our requests and executed them to a high standard. On the evening Paul Wallace represented Sound in the City at the event, carried out all technical requirements and further requests and was professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitations in recommending Sound in the City and their services, they are tops!

Stuart Bell Events
"Paul and his team were superb and went that extra mile in making the charity event the success it was. The screens and sound system made the auctions easy to bid on.
I will certainly be using paul and his team at my next event and would totally recommend Sound in the City."

Hochtief/Murphy Crossrail
"The service received was to a high standard. Sound in the City was accommodating, punctual and provided assistance and advice from the first telephone call, to set up and collection. The equipment provided suited its purpose and there was no hard sale to provide items that were not necessary or required. Overall, we were very happy with the service and when the occasion arises, there would be no hesitation to use Sound in the City again."

La Scuola Italiana a Londra
"Sound in The City recently organised all the AV for us for a fundraising event on behalf of La Scuola Italiana a Londra held at the Italian Embassy in Grosvenor Square.
The event went without a single hitch and Sound In The City went beyond their remit by helping us organise some of the content to be shown on screens.
Their technician’s was present yet discrete throughout the whole event and we were able to relax in the knowledge we were in extremely capable hands.
In addition to this, the value for money was exceptional compared to other sound companies I have used in the past.
I already have Paul and his team signed up for several other fundraising events later this year in London and the Home Counties. I can't recommend his service more highly."

Wedding Reception
"For our wedding, my wife and I decided against choosing a DJ but instead opted to hire a PA. I looked around for a number of quotes from a number of companies and Sound In The City were competitively priced but also quick to respond, happy to answer any queries and friendly when doing so. They delivered and installed promptly and patiently explained the few technical details I needed to understand. The sound system provided was excellent and helped make the biggest day of our lives perfect. I've already recommended them and wouldn't hesitate to do so again."

UK Oil & Energy Exhibition
Sound In The City were proud to undertake the exclusive AV requirements for the UK Energy Exhibition Show at the Barbican for their stand holders and conference meeting venue this July. Below is the feedback received regards our services and products...
"Sound in the City is the most competitively priced audio/visual hire company out there. Their prices are the lowest but customer service and quality is definitely not lacking. Paul and his team are professional, honest and work hard in your interest to make your event a success. We also requested a pa sound system at extremely short notice for our conference area on top of our large hire order of plasma screens for a 650 person exhibition. They were able to deliver in a timely manner exactly as promised. Sound in the City will most certainly be our preferred AV hire company for future exhibitions and we will not hesitate in recommending them to fellow exhibition organisers."

"Sound In The City gave us a fantastic service when we hired from them to show the Royal Wedding. They were able to accommodate our requirements at short notice; they were easy to get hold of and always kept us up to date on timings for the installation.

Goldsmith's Community Centre
Goldsmiths Community Centre went about hiring a projector, large screen and sound system from Sound In The City for a digital media launch event in April 2011, a series of films made by community groups, funded by the Media Trust as part of their Community Voices initiative.
"I obtained several quotes beforehand but Sound In The City was by far the most competitive and flexible, and Paul advised me beforehand what was practical for the situation. I was very happy with the service and the equipment and was able to negotiate another day's hire at very short notice and at reasonable cost."

7Oaks Tri Club
"We contacted Sound In The City a few months before our event. We had a good feeling about the booking after they responded to our first email contact within a couple of hours and then followed up further the next day. Although our booking was small we felt that we were an important client and Paul took the time to understand our needs as well as our budget. The equipment was delivered and setup on time, worked perfectly, dismantled and taken away efficiently. If we have PA requirements for future events, Sound In The City will be our first call…"

I found Paul's company last week after many Google searches and telephone calls around to various companies. We are a very small charity with limited funds who provide support to Serving and Ex-Service Personnel including a training educational and motivational 3 day course. I spoke to Paul and asked for a quote and he came back with a very favourable price for us having looked at our website and understanding that we have limited funds.
Paul arrived ahead of the agreed drop off and set up time which was great, no worries on getting what we required on time and also when he came to pick up the equipment he came on time and we kept him waiting and he was very accommodating which was a pressure of my job.
Paul set it all up and showed me how to work it (not being technical this was great for me and the first company that I had used that really showed me thoroughly).
I have no hesitation in using him again and would recommend him highly - he will be our regular provider from now on. Many Thanks.

Lombard
Sound In The City received feedback from our recent install (Jan 2011) from Lombard who had three 40" Plasma screens setup for their road show event at the Weald Of Kent Golf Centre inside their seminar rooms. We used unicol stands with the plasma screens, here's what they said:
"Sound In The City provided us with an excellent service supporting our recent road show event in Kent. We discovered at short notice that we required extra AV equipment. Paul was able to sort out our requirements quickly and efficiently. Communication throughout was excellent and importantly on the day Paul was there with the equipment at the agreed time for a smooth installation and hand over. Thank you very much - we will use Sound In The City again."
"All in all a very professional service"
