Festively decorated white ballroom with lanterns – lighting and sound technology by photon

Events & Occasions · photon Event Technology

Equipment for balls and dance events – from prom to ball night

A ball lives on music, light and the moment on the dance floor: photon supplies sound for band and DJ, elegant hall lighting and the illuminated dance floor – for proms, dance school balls, club balls and grand ball nights. Since 1995, with daily delivery in the Cologne/Bonn area.

Whether Viennese waltz or prom playlist: the technology has to do both – intelligible sound for welcome and honours, rich sound for band or DJ and a lighting concept that moves from festive dinner to a full dance floor. We supply both from a single source, including microphones for speeches, opening dance moments and, on request, a technician who runs the evening.

From proms to a traditional students' ball in Aachen to the big dance-into-May party with thousands of guests – balls are a regular part of our calendar. For galas with a stage programme and no dancing, see gala & award ceremony equipment.

Prom & graduation ball

Sound for speeches and party, lighting for hall and dance floor – real prom packages range from €450 to €750 at photon, with DJ crew on request. An affordable setup that still looks like a big night.

Classic ball evening

Hall PA for band or DJ, elegant ambient lighting, illuminated dance floor and wireless microphones for hosting and honours: such productions range from €1,400 to €2,700.

Grand ball night & dance event

More space, more light, more programme – large dance events up to the dance-into-May party with full production range from €4,200 to €10,700.

From our real ball projects: prom equipment typically €450 to €750, a classic ball evening with hall lighting, PA and support €1,400 to €2,700, grand ball nights and dance events €4,200 to €10,700. After your enquiry you receive a fixed quote – all individual prices are public in the rental shop.

Send us the date, hall, guest count and programme via our enquiry form – we get back to you with a concrete proposal and a fixed price. On the day of the ball we set up before doors, match light and sound to the running order – from the opening waltz to the last dance – and dismantle after the event or the next day.

From proms to a traditional students' ball to the big dance-into-May party: ball nights are a fixture in photon's calendar – with technology that carries the evening instead of dominating it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does prom equipment cost?

From our real projects: prom packages with sound and lighting typically €450 to €750 – with DJ crew on request. A fixed quote follows the enquiry, so the prom committee can plan.

And what does a classic ball evening cost?

A ball evening with hall PA, elegant lighting and support typically ranges from €1,400 to €2,700 – grand ball nights with full production from €4,200 to €10,700.

Can you handle band and DJ on the same evening?

Yes – we plan the system so ball orchestra and DJ can switch seamlessly, including the necessary microphones and monitors for the band.

Does the lighting stay elegant for dinner and turn into party mode later?

Exactly for that we plan two lighting moods: warm ambient light for reception and dinner, then rich dance floor lighting – the switch comes on cue.

Do you deliver to our assembly hall or town hall?

Yes – daily in the Cologne/Bonn/Düsseldorf area, beyond that by arrangement; setup and teardown follow your venue's schedule.
