What I Love About My Work

 

Lasers and lighting have been my passion since my school days — and that excitement has never faded. I thrive on working closely with clients to understand their vision and bring it to life in a way that’s both safe and spectacular. Seeing people’s faces light up and knowing we’re helping create memories is what makes this job truly special.

 

A Personal Touch

 

Outside of running shows, I love being behind the decks as a DJ. I also geek out over the latest sound and lighting tech, always keeping an eye on what’s new at festivals, concerts, or events. If there’s a rig or speaker stack in sight, chances are I’m figuring out exactly what it is!

 

What I Bring to Clients

 

I pride myself on offering a professional, friendly, and approachable service that delivers exceptional value. Safety is always the top priority — lasers in untrained hands can be dangerous, which is why I’ve undertaken rigorous safety training and ensure every event has full emergency controls in place. From strict adherence to laser exposure laws to meticulous risk management, you can trust that your audience is in safe hands.

 

The Wow Factor

 

There’s nothing quite like hearing the collective gasp when the lasers fire up and transform a space. It’s all about creating breathtaking, safe experiences that guests will remember long after the lights go down.

 

Equipment Highlights

 

Our shows feature a powerful single 12-watt full-colour laser, complemented by two 8-watt full-colour lasers — all independently controlled with cutting-edge software and full backup systems. We also incorporate the latest LED moving heads and robust sound systems to match your event’s needs, offering seamless music and announcements to keep the energy flowing all night.

Background & Experience

 

I have been in the entertainment industry for over 30 years, running my own company, Blake Entertainments, which has become well known across the South. Over the years I have provided everything from wedding packages, discos, and master of ceremonies services to catering, bouncy castles, photo booths and much more. My journey has always been about creating unforgettable experiences and helping people celebrate life’s most important moments.

 

Special Skills & Expertise

 

Alongside my entertainment business, I have always had a passion for lighting and laser shows. Combining this with my love of music and entertaining people naturally led me to co-found this company with my associate, someone I have worked with closely for around five years. I also work with SEN children and created Be3d Fidgets, a project designed to bring comfort and enjoyment to children who benefit from sensory play.

 

What I Love About My Work

 

For me, nothing is more rewarding than bringing joy to people. I absolutely love creating a fun, happy, and engaging environment where everyone feels included and entertained. It’s not just a job—it’s my passion and something that gives me real purpose.

 

A Personal Touch

 

Working with SEN children has opened my eyes to how entertainment can be adapted to suit everyone. Firework noise can often be overwhelming for children on the spectrum, and that’s why I am so excited to be part of the shift towards laser shows and light displays, which are inclusive, versatile, and accessible to more audiences. That said, I’ll admit, I still enjoy a great firework display too!

 

What I Bring to Clients

 

I pride myself on being reliable, approachable, and flexible. I want every client to feel confident that their event is in safe hands, knowing that I’ll go above and beyond to make their experience as enjoyable and memorable as possible.

 

The Wow Factor

 

Laser shows offer an incredible alternative to traditional displays, combining the energy of music with the beauty of lights. This allows me to create visually stunning, personalised experiences that leave a lasting impression without the challenges of loud noise.

 

Equipment Highlights

 

We have invested in high quality, state-of-the-art laser equipment designed to deliver unforgettable shows. With versatile setups and creative programming, we can tailor displays to suit weddings, parties, corporate events, and inclusive community celebrations.
