Core Event was brilliant! Friendly efficient service, did what they said they were going to do and more, a very competetive price, exactly what I needed in terms of lighting. I couldn't rate them highky enough, and Chris is super great! I would definitley recommend them to others. More...

We had our Wheatley Rugby Club Summer Ball at the weekend and Chris organised the disco lighting and the marquee lighting for us. I had a vague idea about fairy lights which he designed for us and he and his team came and set up for us. I left it entirely to him as we had used his company before and knew we could rely on him. The effects were brilliant - I was soooo pleased! He took down the lighting and took it all away on Sunday morning as promised. We were very impressed with his service, and at a very reasonable cost. We will certainly be using Chris again! Many thanks. More...

We hired some sound and lighting equipment for our wedding reception a few weeks ago and couldn't recommend Chris or the team highly enough. With a very vague outline of what we were after Chris guided us through the lighting options and managed to help us to exceed the effect we were originally after. They made sure we had everything else we required to make sure the day went off without a hitch - it is fair to say that Chris' experience in this field is un-surpassed and didn't leave a stone un-turned - thank you! p.s. prices were extremely competitive too!

Chris was SO helpful and kind in sharing his advice and expertise in helping us find what we were looking for. The installation and removal carried out by Chris and Olly was efficient, professional and stress free. The lighting transformed the hall for my sister's wedding in Warwickshire - really magical festoons draped around ancient beams and funky stage lights for the bands. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Core Event Hire or indeed use you again! Many thanks. More...

Absolutely first class! Chris and Olly managed to transform our bare, run down marquee into an inviting, charming place for our Great Gatsby Ball. Chris worked alongside us helping with ideas and suggestions and was on hand for site visits and available to talk through the plans whenever we needed. Everyone who attended couldn't believe the transformation and amazing atmosphere all the lighting and sound helped to create. We will definitely be working with Core Events again in the future and couldn't recommend them highly enough. More...

Hi, we found Core Event a great company to work with on our festival. Chris and the team were friendly, helpful, competitive on price and even added in a ramp we need for an injured performer for free.
We will look to use them again.

We hired a PA system and disco lighting for our wedding reception and we couldn't have been happier with the service: the quality of the equipment was excellent, operating it was extremely easy and intuitive, the value for money was excellent and, most of all, the customer service from Chris and his colleagues in the run-up and on the day were absolutely fantastic (as per many other reviews). Would strongly recommend. Thank you to Chris, Steve and all who helped out at Core. More...

I had been looking for some time for a company which could design me a new professional looking and original website for my personal training company. I spoke to other companies over the phone and did my best to explain what I was looking for. I'm no noob, but trying to explain to a graphic designer how you want something as complicated as a multiple page website to look is a challenging experience. All I really knew is that I wanted it to be clean and simple to navigate, and with sound SEO to make sure I ranked well on Google. My biggest frustration was trying to get a price; most were woolly at best on let's face it, the most important factor second only to the quality of the finished product. By the time I contacted OWServices, I was pretty much at the end of my rope, and getting nowhere with two or three companies who were asking in excess of £2000 for something which I felt wasn't particularly complicated. OWS were so helpful, it was a breath of fresh air dealing with them. They listened to what I wanted, as best as I could explain it, and offered plenty of advice, before the meter started ticking! In fact as far as the price was concerned, they were always clear throughout the process. I can't recommend OWS enough. Choose them to design and build your new site from the ground up and start attracting the business you need online; you won't be disappointed with the results. More...
