4worldlovers: I just wanted to say a big thank you! You provide a great service- friendly, professional and I thought you and your staff were all fantastic. I really appreciate you fitting me in at the very last minute! My daughter had the best birthday party and the girls all loved the dance floor, light and smoke machine.

I would love to say a huge thank you to the both of you for everything you did for me. My 21st was absolutely fantastic and the equipment I hired from your company contributed to the success of this night. Although we had a tight budget; the iPod/ Laptop sound system, disco ball, laser lights and smoke machine were hired at an affordable price, yet looked a million dollars!
