Lovely people to deal with, awesome equipment. We borrowed 2*active sub-base speakers and 2*tops plus 2*sound activated lighting rigs. It was a brilliant 18th party for my daughter. My DJ (nephew), who does gigs for a living said the equipment was boss :))

We were let down by another company and Nub Sound came to our rescue at very late notice. Lovely people and great service. Would 100% recommend and would use them again.

We used NUB Sound for the audio equipment at our wedding in September. Adrian and James were great working with us to understand exactly what equipment we required and set up on the day in a short time period without fuss whilst all our guests were eating. Nothing was too much trouble and we would highly recommend NUB Sound!

As a wedding planner I need suppliers who are trustworthy, hardworking and willing to go the extra miles for my clients. NUB Sounds were absolutely indispensable this wedding season and I'm looking forward to working with them in the future. They give excellent advice and are able to provide the right sound system / lights / technical solution for every situation. For one of my weddings they created bespoke light fittings that were exactly as we'd imagined and made the wedding barn look truly magical. They also set up and managed the most incredible stage and sound system for the band, as well
