Wanganui Sound Services

Apologies. This page is still under construction. Conditions may vary.

Prices will vary according to circumstances, like the equipment used, the location, whether we need to set it up, who is hiring, etc.

Non-Commercial and Charitable Organisations. Some worthy groups will be expenses only, others may be half normal price. If your non-profit organisation has need of a sound system, but has little or no funds, come see us for a chat and we may be able to sort something out. In every case however, there will be a minimum fee of $25 to help defray costs and expenses. If you are inside the Wanganui city boundary, this may be the only cost. Outside the city area, travel expenses will need to be met. And a sandwich and cuppa where appropriate.
We can also provide several simple 'pickup and setup yourself' systems. See Mini PA' below.

AMENDED Jan 2017. The minimum fee is waived. That or a small donation to cover costs would be appreciated.
