5 Common Mistakes People Make When Renting Event Equipment in Nigeria (and How to Avoid Them)

Planning an event in Nigeria is already stressful enough — guests, food, MC, DJ, decor. But the one area people often mess up is renting event equipment. From dodgy vendors to last-minute disappointment, here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid.

---

❌ Mistake 1: Renting from “Anyhow Vendor”

Someone says “I get sound system for you” and you believe them — only for crackling speakers and missing mics to show up on D-day.

✅ Solution: Always work with a trusted rental company like Event Stock Productions, where equipment is tested, delivered, and managed professionally.

---

❌ Mistake 2: Booking Too Late

In Lagos and other big cities, events happen every weekend. If you call two days before your wedding, sorry — all the good rentals may already be booked.

✅ Solution: Book early (especially for Detty December). ESP allows you to secure gear weeks/months ahead.

---

❌ Mistake 3: Forgetting Backup Power

Ask anyone who’s hosted an event in Nigeria: NEPA has no respect for special occasions. Imagine light going off during your vows.

✅ Solution: Always include a backup generator rental in your package. ESP never sets up without power backup.

---

❌ Mistake 4: Not Testing Equipment

Some vendors deliver gear and disappear, leaving you with dead mics or half-working lights.

✅ Solution: ESP doesn’t just deliver — we set up, test, and stay on standby to troubleshoot.

---

❌ Mistake 5: Ignoring Guest Comfort

You may have loud speakers and bright lights, but if your guests are standing or using shaky plastic chairs, they won’t enjoy the event.

✅ Solution: Always rent comfortable chairs, tents, and cooling options for your guests.
