What to Know Before Booking Audio Visual Hire

Outdoor events in wine country rarely come with a sound system, and a lawn among the vines goes dark quickly once the sun sets. Sound for speeches and lighting for after dark are the two jobs most often left too late. Both rely on power, so the site's supply is the first question to answer.

What to cover with an AV supplier:

  • Speeches: a microphone and speaker that carry to the back of an outdoor crowd, tested before guests arrive
  • Background music: whether the supplier brings a playback system or works alongside a DJ
  • Lighting: festoon strings and fairy lights inside a tent or along a path, plus enough light for caterers to work
  • Power: whether there are outlets near the event area or a generator is needed, and who supplies it
  • Noise: whether the venue or neighbours set a cut-off time for amplified sound

When music and an MC are part of the night, sound and entertainment need to be planned together. DJs often bring their own system, so check before paying for two.

Lighting after dark

  • Winter evenings come early, so an afternoon party that runs on needs lighting planned from the start
  • Festoon strings across a tent ceiling give a warm glow without harsh spotlights
  • Light the paths to amenities and the car area as well as the dance floor

Sound for speeches and ceremonies

  • Ask whether a cordless microphone is included for speeches
  • Run a sound check in the space before guests arrive
  • An outdoor ceremony may need a small second speaker near the celebrant so the back rows can hear

Working with the venue

  • Cellar doors keep daytime hours, so check how late amplified sound can run
  • Barrel rooms and stone buildings echo, so ask the supplier how they set levels for hard walls
  • Agree where cables run so they stay clear of walkways and service areas

AV Hire: Your Questions Answered

Do I need to hire sound for speeches at a vineyard wedding?

Voices do not carry far outdoors, especially with a breeze. A microphone and speaker let every guest hear the speeches, and the supplier can test levels before the crowd arrives.

What lighting suits an evening party in Angaston?

Festoon strings and fairy lights give warm light under a tent or across a lawn. Winter evenings come early in the higher eastern country, so plan lighting even for an afternoon start.

Can a tipi firm supply AV as well as the tent?

Some hire firms add sound and lighting to a tent package, which keeps power and cabling in one plan. Ask what is included and what is charged separately.

How late can amplified music run at a Barossa winery?

Each venue sets its own limits, and cellar doors keep daytime hours. Ask the venue for its cut-off time before booking sound for an evening event.

Will an outdoor site in Nuriootpa need a generator for AV?

It depends on whether power outlets sit close to the event area. Ask the venue or landowner first, then tell the AV supplier so they can bring a generator if needed.
