Bachelorette Party AV Equipment Checklist — Charlotte, NC

Brought to you by Event Rentals NYC, a KLAV Group company. Whether you're throwing the party at a rooftop in Uptown, a private villa in SouthPark, or a loft in NoDa, the right AV gear turns a good night into the bride's most unforgettable celebration. Use this checklist to plan smart, budget right, and book early.

1. Sound

Book sound gear at least 3 weeks out. Bachelorette parties run hot on music, toasts, and games — undersized PA is the #1 regret.

• Wireless Handheld Microphones: 2 mics for toasts, games, and the maid of honor speech. Cost: $75–$125/day.
• Stage/Floor Monitor: 1 monitor if you have a live performer or DJ booth setup. Cost: $100–$150/day.
• Mixer (8-Channel Digital): 1 unit to balance mics, music, and aux inputs. Cost: $125–$200/day.

2. Lighting

Lighting sets the mood — book 2 weeks out. Bachelorettes thrive on color, glow, and Instagram-ready ambiance.

• LED Uplighting (Wireless, Battery): 8–12 fixtures in pink, rose gold, or the bride's signature color. Cost: $25–$40 per unit/day.

• Ambient String/Bistro Lights: 100–200 ft for outdoor or patio coverage. Cost: $75–$150/day.

3. Video

Video adds wow-factor for slideshows, custom monograms, and game projections. Book 2 weeks out.

• HD Projector (5,000+ Lumens): 1 unit for slideshow montages of the bride. Cost: $200–$400/day.

The heartbeat of the night. Reserve DJ gear 3–4 weeks out, especially in peak Charlotte wedding season (April–October).
