About McKenna Live Events

This company is run by Steve McKenna, former Real Radio DJ, who's also worked at Radio 1, Channel 5, BBC Scotland and many more. His name's on the company and everything we do - which means his reputation's on the line every time we provide as little as a projector through to as much as full festivals production.

What you may not realise is many events companies aren't even companies. They're often someone using a mailing address to pretend they have offices and then hiring equipment from a company like ours. Cut out the middleman and come directly to us.

Some companies plan events, and some provide aspects of the equipment. We are in a unique position in that we own and operate all our own equipment and plan everything for you.

We're a genuine one-stop shop no matter how big or small your event, and that reduces the number of people you have to deal with as we're not hiring from third parties, and the costs are guaranteed to be the most competitive.

Typical Clients

Corporate clients ranging from Frankie & Bennys (Restaurant Group), Arnold Clark and Ford. National and local charities including Enable, Alzheimer's Scotland and Tomorrow's People. Various local authority councils including Glasgow, East Lothian and North Lanarkshire....however if you've got a house party for 10 people and we can help, you'll get the same level of service we'd provide for a major event.

Above and beyond

Steve did the AV for our Grandfathers funeral. Despite a member of the church dropping his laptop at set up (while trying to be helpful!) he was organised, had back up laptop and despite the technical challenges it caused pulled off a great slide show for the audience. Would 100% recommend Steve. Thanks for helping make our day ,memorable. Don

Dear Don, Thank you so much for your kind and gracious words and for sharing your experience. It was an honour to assist in celebrating your Grandfather’s life. Even with the unexpected challenges, I’m glad we were able to ensure the day went as smoothly as possible in the circumstances and that the slideshow could be part of such a meaningful tribute. Your recommendation means the world to me, and I'm grateful to have been able to support your lovely family during this important time. If you ever need anything in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Warm regards, Steve

High quality service and superb communication

McKenna Live events made the process of selecting and supplying a guest speaker a breeze. Very professional. I would highly recommend them for any events. Des Clarke was exceptionally funny and a gent . He took time to talk to our guests and take selfies.

Garry, thank you so much for this excellent review. It's not only helpful for us to know our team is worthy of five stars but also a massive help to potential clients trying to avoid the cowboys. Many thanks, and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Fantastic service and great support.

McKenna events really go the extra mile to make sure everything is thought through and you have the right event support on the day. Our event had a few technical challenges and Steve stayed with us throughout to make sure it went smoothly. I will be using this company again for future events.

Thank you so much, Janine. It was not only a pleasure to be supporting you and the important work you do for climate change, but I loved the chat we had. I look forward to working with you again, and thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review.

A professional and outstanding service

Steve as Entertainment Lead, MC, DJ, quiz master, guest engagement supremo enhanced my Birthday Party one hundredfold. We will always book him on other occasions, as will many of my guests, all of whom commented on how ‘he held the evening together, unobtrusively, humorously and with outstanding music and communication skills. This guy is more than a DJ - he’s the best at what he does - a true ‘Pro’. If you want a Party to flow, entertain your guests, have all the ingredients for lighting, videos, music with fabulous dancing, great guest engagement and customised to your requests, Steve McKenna is your man. I had soul, disco, Scottish and much more. He’s a TEN out of 10.

Perfect

Steve is the most professional events organiser o have ever came across. With 7 days to the event, Steve led me through all my various options and kitted is out for within our budget. On the evening he was fast, efficient, knowledgable, and polite. Literally could not do any more to help us. Dealing with everything g he had to deal with and on top of that, deal with 50 drunk guys watching a football game, nothing was too much trouble. If you are having an event, and Steve is unavailable, you change the date of your event. That’s how highly I rate this company. We will meet again. Thanks Steve
