Equally perfect for a first birthday (or in fact any kids age!) and adults' special "big ones" too. Our 4ft light up letters make for the perfect photo opportuniy to remember them all! Add a balloon garland of any size and colour to finish the look. And for an extra slice of WOW, you can add a matching White light up name, initials, '#', '!' or any one of our catalogue of backdrops, such as Flower Walls, Sequin Walls and Frames, with or without a Neon sign of your choice too!

  • Height: 4ft
  • Width: Varies (approx 2ft per number)
  • Depth: 1ft

Requires one standard power socket (extension leads are provided)

Can the letters/props be positioned outdoors?
We do not recommend that any of our products are used outside for safety purposes, and to prevent any damage to the items. We can however make exceptions should you have an event manager, or responsible persons(s) present all day that would be able to move them immediately should the weather change. They would also need to be in a very stable position protected from the wind.

How long do I hire the products for?
The hire period is 24 hours. We generally set up earlier on the day of the event, and collect the morning after. We will be in touch with the event venue directly within the month leading up to the event to confirm exact arrangements.

How are the products powered?
All of our light up items (including Neon Signs) are mains powered, and require a standard power-supply.

How many sockets do I need?
Each letter and item have its own single socket. We bring plenty of extension leads of varying lengths to ensure we can always work with the power supplies available.

Do you provide extension leads?
Yes, we always bring plenty of extension leads of varying lengths to ensure we can always work with the power supplies available. If you think you may require something in particular in this respect though, please do let us know ahead of delivery and we can ensure everything is in-hand.

Do you leave spare bulbs?
Yes, we always leave a spare bulb tucked in behind the letters. All of our bulbs are long-lasting, so it is very rare that one should go during an event, but we always leave one just in case! Should yours require changing please ensure the letters are switched off at the mains before touching anything, then simply screw the bulb out and the new one in (where plastic cabochon caps are over the bulb, the front part is simply screwed off and back on similarly to the bulb itself).

How big is the item?
Please refer to the 'Specification' section of the product listing for the exact dimensions of the product. If you are unsure if you have the space or ceiling height for the item you'd like, please consult ourselves and your venue if necessary.

Can the item be moved during our event/Wedding Day?
Please always discuss this with ourselves and your venue prior. Some items are fairly quick and easy to move (such as our light up numbers initials), whereas others require a long and more complicated time to set up (such as flower walls, and large frames with lighting). It will also depend on where you would like it moved - If it is simply in a different position within the same room for examples, even larger items can often be simply dragged to their new position within that room, where as if you would like it moved to a different room, the item may need to be taken down completely and re-erected. If this is the case, there would most likely be an extra fee to cover staff returning to your venue to do this later in the day.

Do I get to keep the balloons?
Yes of course you can keep any balloons that are used within a setup for your Wedding or event. Please do ensure you let us know when we call to check-in and confirm all delivery/collection details with you, and so also be sure to let your venue know that you'd like to keep them. Often venues are grateful if we dispose of the balloons upon collection as they're often getting the space ready for their next event, so we will dispose of them if we are not told that you'd like to keep them.

How do I book?
Please complete the Enquiry Form with as many details as possible or give us a call on 0800 975 0265 and one of our experts can help you find exactly what you are looking for. You will receive a quote by email and all forward steps will be outlined there for you. You will be asked to complete a Booking Form and pay a deposit to secure the items for your date, and then full payment is due one month prior to your wedding/event.

How long does it take to setup?
This will vary depending on which items you have hired, and if you have hired one, two or a whole package of items (with or without balloons)! For one item, you can expect it to take approximately 30 minutes. For two, three or 4, or larger packages, this can increase to up to 2 or more hours. When we confirm delivery/collection arrangements with you and your venue we will always make sure we have enough time to get it perfect.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes, we have the relevant Public Liability Insurance.

Are you products PAT Tested?
Yes all of our products are PAT Tested every year.

Where are you based?
We have warehouses in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and Fareham, Hampshire, and can cover most of England from these (delivery charges apply).

Where do you deliver to?
We can delivery to almost anywhere in England. Delivery charges apply, and for areas further from our warehouses there may be a minimum spend.

Can we collect?
Yes, we can offer some items on a collection basis. A security deposit will be charged. Please enquire for more information.

When do you deliver?
We will deliver at a time that is convenient for you and your venue - We will be in touch with yourselves as well as with your venue directly approximately a fortnight prior to your Wedding/event date to confirm.

Can the letters/props be positioned outdoors?
We get asked A LOT if our items can be set up outside and the answer is not necessarily a straightforward one! It really depends on where you'd like them positioned outside and what's happening with our lovely British weather! To be used outside, the weather forecast does have to be perfect and the products must be protected from wind and rain at all times (for the safety of you and your guests, as well as the products themselves). If you're wanting an item to go outside it must always be agreed in advance of the day and we ALWAYS recommend that you are really happy with the indoor contingency plan should the weather not turn out as perfect as we all hope.

Absolutely over the moon with our joint 21st and 40th birthday party decor, thanks to Elizabeth James Events! We hired the silver sequin wall, a large balloon garland, neon ‘Let’s Party’ sign, and some light up numbers. The entire setup was stunning! We’d like to say a huge thank you to Hannah for transforming the venue - it looked incredible. All of our guests kept telling us just how much they loved it. I would 100% recommend these guys for your next event. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

My wife Gemma had an amazing time and the decorations really added to the experience. We both loved the quality of the flower wall and light-up numbers and people were very keen to take photos in front of them. Will have to get some photos from Gemma and send them over. The welcome sign was beautiful and lots of people took photos of this too. All in all, very happy with the service you provided especially given the relatively short notice that I gave you! Thanks again for your help.

I have just completed your feedback form you sent over the weekend, but I wanted to send a personalised email to thank you and your team for absolutely everything this weekend. From the moment I made the enquiry, right through to delivery I was so impressed. I was telling your team on Saturday that the thing that sold you against the others was you hired out light up letters and balloons, which not many companies did together. This was brilliant. I also really appreciate the work you put in to colour matching our summer party poster to your balloons, it worked really well and got so many compliments! Thank you once again, and hopefully we can work together in the future.

It was impressive to see your team had already assembled it and left by the time we reached the venue at 10.30am. Very tidy work. Well done and thank you again.

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you both and Elizabeth James Events. I was absolutely delighted with all of the decorations that you supplied and set up, it was a complete surprise for my husband and it certainly made for a fantastic surprise.. he loved it! It made for a very special entrance for all of our guests and everyone commented how amazing it all looked. You made everything so straight forward for me which was most appreciated in the middle of planning a big party. Hannah, I really appreciate you working so well with the manager at the Golf Club and creating such a fantastic set up. Equally I know that the Golf Club appreciated everything being taken down in such a timely manner on the Sunday before their busy Sunday lunch time. The decorations played a big part of our special occasion and I will not hesitate to recommend you to my family and friends. Thank you once again and I will certainly be in touch the next time I’m planning a party or event!

Our set up for my brother's surprise 30th birthday was unforgettable! We booked the gorgeous sequin wall with a neon sign, the light up letters for '30' and a corner balloon garland with classy black, gold and silver colours. This was a complete surprise and my brother was blown away! It was the perfect backdrop for photos at the party and we definitely made the most of it. Absolutely worth every penny and we have photos to keep forever from a really special night. Jazz was our booking agent and was so friendly and quick to respond, huge thanks to her for putting together the perfect package of everything we needed! Emma was also really lovely and helped with the final planning, and Callum set everything up seamlessly on the day and collected it the next day. I never had to stress about setting it up and it all looked perfect! 10 out of 10 for amazing products, smooth and easy planning, and value for money.

The party was fantastic. I had an amazing time celebrating! I’m sorry I haven’t got in contact sooner. I felt a bit deflated (and maybe a bit hungover!) on Sunday. Then it was back to work! Honestly the letters and numbers were better than I could have imagined. Your delivery people put them in just the right spots! They were the talking point of the party. Loads of people had pictures with them. They were brighter than I thought they would be - this is a good thing. Everything was perfect. Thank you for being the best company to deal with from email, easy payment methods and Carla for being so helpful in messages and phone calls. I definitely would give you 5* and will be recommending you to others. Thanks you so much. I’m so pleased you were free to be able to make my dream a reality. Hopefully you are still around for my 50th!!!
