Our customer stories: Light Up Your Party

With storage space that grows as your business does, we can offer you as much space as you need, for as long as you need it. Karl, founder of Light Up Your Party, told us more about his business, and why he chose Space Station Castle Bromwich to keep his equipment in top condition.

How was your business, Light Up Your Party, created?

When I was sixteen, I started helping out as a roadie for my cousin, who was a DJ. He used to let me play a few tracks, which really sparked my passion for music. My first official gig came when I was around twenty, DJing at Solihull Ice Rink. That experience led me into the mobile disco scene.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I took the opportunity to expand my letter and number signs business into a broader events service. That’s when I rebranded the company as Light Up Your Party, and since then, it’s continued to grow.

How would you describe your business, and what do you love the most about it?

Light Up Your Party is a diverse events company. We provide a wide range of entertainment and décor for occasions like weddings, birthdays, and corporate events. Some of our most popular hires include 360 booths, magic mirrors, and dance floors. We also offer traditional sweet treats like popcorn and candy floss, which are always a hit.

What I love most is the interaction with people. Being part of someone’s big day—especially weddings—feels special. And seeing adults’ faces light up at the sight of candy floss is a reminder that fun and joy are timeless. We always aim to add a personal touch to every event to make it truly memorable.

What brought you to the idea of needing self-storage, and how has that helped your business?

 As the business started to grow, I literally ran out of space in my living room! It’s important to me that all our equipment stays in top condition, and I’m constantly adding to our inventory.

Using a storage unit at Space Station means everything is kept in one secure, organised place. My staff can access the unit easily, and with the app, I can supervise everything remotely. There’s no need to hand out keys or worry about them getting lost. It’s saved me so much time and really allows me to “work smarter, not harder.”

What were the highlights on your first visit to Space Station that made you choose them?

I was instantly impressed by how friendly the staff were and by the high level of security on-site. The tour made it clear I was looking at a premium storage service. It was exactly what I needed to protect and manage my growing inventory.

How did you find the move-in process?

It was surprisingly smooth! The paperwork was straightforward, and the staff made it completely stress-free. Since joining, I’ve upgraded my unit a few times as the business grew—from 75sqft to 450sqft. That extra space has allowed me to invest in new hire items like a light-up dance floor, an additional 360 booth, and a new DJ set for weddings.

Space Station supports both personal and business needs. Would you consider using it for other reasons too?

Definitely. After seeing how well my business items were looked after, I didn’t hesitate to use Space Station for my recent house move too. I didn’t even bother gathering quotes—I knew I could trust them. Their attention to detail, like installing dehumidifiers, shows they genuinely care about preserving your belongings.

″Its peace of mind, and that’s priceless”.
