- Wireless radio mics are also available for speeches and presentations as additional options when our sound and/or lights are being hired
WHY FOG HELPS
It's a common misconception that fog / smoke / haze machines just give that nightclub or rave look - that's not necessarily the case, and I'd like to help my clients understand so they can make a more informed decision. Yes if it's used excessively then it can fill the room with a thick cloud, but used sparingly and with the right density it can create a much thinner mist which is barely noticeable and creates a much better visual with the lights than you'd get without it.
Imagine car headlights on a clear night - they're only visible on the car itself and on the surfaces they hit like a road or wall. Now picture them in foggy weather - the beam of light becomes visible as it reflects off the particles in mid-air, and that's the effect we want with atmospheric lighting. Without the machine you'll only see DJ & Band lighting at the source and spots where it hits the ceiling or dancefloor, rather than the beams moving and sweeping through the air.
So even if you're not looking for that rave feel, it can still make a big difference to how your party looks. Please bear in mind though that not all venues allow it if they have sensitive fire alarms. We use haze which is less likely to set them off than fog, but sometimes it's still a hard no which we have to accept regardless.
