Living in a Box

Ok - this one won't be the most exciting of posts, but not every part of the events industry is exciting!  Well, I guess that depends on your point of view!  Personally, I love the pop up events - arriving on site with a van full and a venue empty!  The arrival, load in and setting up are just as important as the performance - albeit unseen by most of your guests!  The load out is important too, not only because we want to go home to bed, but often because the venue may have constraints on exit times, vehicle movements etc.

So, how does Silverball Leisure go about it?

We have designed and refined everything about our equipment to ensure smooth and quick load ins, eliminating hassle, stress and disturbance to you, your guests, the venue and any guests of the venue (particularly relevant if your wedding or party is in a hotel).  When possible we prefer to arrive early in the day, ensuring we are in and set up before any guests arrive - there's nothing worse than rushing in just before the evening reception, causing noise and chaos!  We don't charge a single penny extra for this!

(Almost) everything is in a road trunk - a big box on wheels) which means fewer trips and fewer boxes and bags strewn everywhere.  At one recent wedding in a beautiful hotel, the walk from car park to reception room was quite a distance - we did it in just two trips, and the load out through the hotel afterwards was very efficient an quick.

Two trips - no fuss!

Professional, elegant, efficient

What about the vehicles?

Rather than cramming everything in to the back of a family car, Silverball Leisure owns a large van (with full business use insurance) which allows for us to easily move all the equipment, plus anything extra we might add "just in case", and the road trunks mean we can unload quickly via our purpose manufactured ramp!  The van is not sign-written both for security, but also elegance at your venue.  Nobody wants a moving billboard outside their wedding!

Recently the country was hit by snow - twice!  Its not great to be driving  large van in such conditions (trust me!) so we also have a 4x4 and equipment designed to fit into the back.  The 4x4 ("Travis the Truck") and the adapted equipment are also ideal for any hard to access venues in any weather!

I did warn you this wouldn't be the most exciting of posts, but it is an important (and overlooked) part of ensuring your wedding or special celebration goes without a hitch!
