Absolutely excellent service from James and the team at THAT event company, who provided full AV services for our recent conference, in challenging circumstances with far-from-ideal acoustics. They gave us really good advice on what equipment to hire and we were 100% happy with the results. Prices compared favourably with competitors. We will definitely be using them again. More...

It was easy to manoeuvre into and out of position during the evening. Reliable communication with the office gave me confidence. Would use again. Highly recommend. More...

James helped us with lighting and audio for our wedding in Oxford. He was friendly, informative and not pushy. The results were brilliant - the room looked spectacular and the sound for the speeches was just right. Prices are reasonable and the set-up went without a hitch. We didn’t have to do anything and we got exactly the results we needed. More...

That event company did the lighting for our wedding at Wytham village hall, without their work the hall would have looked a lot duller. They were amazing. Very professional and reliable, responsive to our emails, flexible in quoting exactly what we were after and arrived on time on the day of the wedding getting the lighting set up at speed and the following day for removal of the lighting. I would definitely recommend. Thanks Kevin and James for making it all seamless and stress free. More...

Absolutely incredible company. James and the team have been supplying sound and lighting equipment for events at Wolfson College Oxford over the past few years and they consistently amaze me with the quality of their service. At the Wolfson Winter Ball 2018 they quite literally saved the day, stepping in at the last minute to deal with a major power distribution problem. They worked tirelessly, going well above-and-beyond their original remit to make sure we could open on-time and with all the power we required! No request or query is too much for James. I can recommend THAT event company without any reservation. More...

I was worried that our event was too small to be of interest to That Event Company however not only did they visit our venue free of charge, they had lots of great suggestions to suit our budget. The overall effect of their lighting was incredible... so much so we now want to buy some to make it a permanent feature of our garden. We had so many compliments and I would say it was the main contributing factor of our successful garden party. Well worth the cost and some. The team couldn't do enough to help us too. Really impressed. We'll definitely be using them again as it seems some of our guests will. More...

An enormous thank you to you all for being such an important part of our wedding day. Everyone made it so easy to organise the lights for the dining hall, and were so incredibly accommodating that the whole process was a real pleasure. The lights you set up on the day were fantastic and we got some great feedback from our guests and, of course, looked amazing in the photos. You added so much to the atmosphere and we are so happy we found you. We would absolutely recommend your company for your great product, your professionalism and your 5 star service.Thank you once again, we had a wonderful day! More...

We worked with That Event Company to do audio and lighting for my wedding ceremony and reception in Oxford. James and Tom discussed our needs to make sure we were getting exactly the setup we needed, and were accommodating with changes and additions to our contract as we got closer to the date. The audio during the ceremony was perfect and the DJ sound system was exactly what we needed to get people dancing during our reception. That Event Company also set up fairy lights and bunting, which looked great in our ceremony space. I highly recommend That Event Company for all of your wedding audio and lighting needs! More...

We had outstanding service from THAT event company. Great communication from the outset - designing the lighting and getting the quote together, which was really clear and we thought the prices were very reasonable.
On the day James and his team arrived in good time for set up and worked really hard to totally transform the venue with uplighters and hundreds of individually hung lanterns. It looked absolutely amazing! We had a fantastic party and the stunning lighting definitely contributed to the great atmosphere. The team were friendly and efficient and finished the installation in good time for us to set up.
The team arrived promptly the following morning for the de-rig and again worked quickly and efficiently to take it all down.
We were very impressed with all aspects of the service and would highly recommend this company.
