What to Know Before Booking Audio Visual Hire

Audio visual hire covers the kit that lets guests see and hear what matters: lighting, screens, projectors, staging and sound. In Perth it comes from dedicated AV crews who run galas and conferences, from smaller sound and lighting firms aimed at parties, and from marquee firms that add lighting and a PA to their own structures.

Which kind suits you depends on how much has to go right on the night.

Points worth comparing across AV quotes:

  • Crewing. Speeches, video and live acts generally call for a technician on site, while festoon and dance floor lighting can often be set up and left.
  • Starting prices. Portable PA and lighting packages start from $80, and fuller party sound and lighting packages from $146 or $160.
  • Silent disco. Headset packages start from $170 and keep a late party going quietly once the speakers stop.
  • Power. Ask what the rig draws and whether the venue or the house can supply it, or whether a generator is needed.
  • Bundling. If a marquee firm is already on site, ask whether its lighting and sound covers the job.

All of these suppliers cover the metropolitan regions; roughly half also list the Southern Coast and a smaller group the Perth Hills, so mention an outer address early. For sound alone, see speaker and PA hire.

AV for a work event

  • Send the run sheet and any presentations a few days ahead, in the file format the crew asks for.
  • Ask for a full rehearsal of microphones, slides and video before the doors open.
  • Agree who on the crew deals with a dropped microphone or a frozen screen during the speeches.
  • Fit bump-in and bump-out to the hours the venue allows, as a late pack-down can add labour costs.

Screens and lighting outside

  • Screens and projectors wash out in daylight, so plan outdoor cinema nights and slideshows for after dark.
  • The afternoon sea breeze catches screens and lighting stands, so ask how they are weighted or tied down.
  • From roughly May to September, ask what covers protect the gear if a shower passes through.
  • Keep cables and power boards clear of pools, sprinklers and the paths guests walk along.

AV Hire: Your Questions Answered

Does a Perth corporate function need an AV technician on site?

If there are speeches, presentations, video or a live act, a technician is worth it, since levels and screens need attention as the night runs. A party with set lighting and a playlist can often do without one.

Can I hire an outdoor movie screen in Perth?

Some AV suppliers hire projectors and outdoor cinema screens with sound. Plan the screening for after dark and ask how the screen is secured against the wind.

What do silent disco headsets cost to hire in Perth?

Headset packages start from $170. Ask how many headsets and channels are included and how they are charged and returned.

Will an AV crew travel to a function in the Perth Hills or Mandurah?

Some list the Perth Hills or the Southern Coast and all cover the metropolitan regions. Give the address when you first ask so travel and crew time are in the quote.

Should lighting come from the marquee firm or a separate AV company?

If the marquee firm offers lighting and sound, one crew can be simpler. For a gala, conference or anything with screens and a run sheet, a dedicated AV crew usually has more gear and staff.

What details does an AV supplier need before quoting?

The venue, guest numbers, a rough run sheet, what has to be seen and heard, and the bump-in and bump-out times. Mention any outdoor element and the power available.
