LED Letters
Our 4ft LED letters create striking focal points for weddings and events. Available in classic white, rustic wood, and metal finishes, these illuminated letters spell any name or word with over 150 characters in stock. The energy-efficient LED technology ensures vibrant displays while maintaining safety standards through regular PAT testing. Clients benefit from both rental and custom design options.
Selfie Mirrors
Interactive selfie mirrors provide entertainment and memorable photo opportunities. Featuring touchscreens, fun props, and instant print capabilities, these units operate with two attendants for four-hour sessions. The modern alternative to traditional photo booths suits all age groups, with digital copies available for social media sharing and physical prints as keepsakes.
Sweet Carts
Customisable sweet carts offer nostalgic treats in elegant displays. Options include rustic wooden carts, 7ft ferris wheels, and tiered ladders holding various confections. These interactive dessert alternatives accommodate dietary requirements while serving as decorative centrepieces. Units come fully stocked with branded packaging and serving utensils for guest convenience.
Neon Backdrops
Custom neon signage integrates with sequin walls and foliage backdrops for dramatic effects. Available in multiple colours and bespoke designs, these illuminated features enhance photo opportunities while complementing event themes. The modular system allows rapid assembly in various configurations to suit different venue dimensions.
Dance Floors
Our sparkling LED dance floors combine ambient lighting with functional dance space. The modular design adapts to different venue sizes while the wireless operation eliminates tripping hazards. The reflective surface enhances lighting effects from surrounding decor, creating an immersive atmosphere that encourages guest interaction and extends event longevity.

The Added Extra provided the fabulous light-up letters for the evening dance floor spelling out our married surname. They gave the wow factor and a personal touch to the evening reception that we (and our guests) loved. The Added Extra team were amazing to deal with from beginning to end making communication and logistics a breeze. They have an amazing range of lights, extras and decor to take your celebrations to the next level!
