AV Events

AV Events helps clients create events that sound, look, and feel exceptional. We bring technical precision, creative problem-solving, and a genuinely friendly approach to every project. From high-profile live productions to hybrid streaming and corporate showcases, our goal is simple: to make your event run smoothly and beautifully.

Our Mission

We support our clients in delivering impactful events through smart, sustainable production. We invest in the latest technology to deliver high production values at fair, flexible rates. Above all, we believe in partnership building lasting relationships based on trust, collaboration, and shared success.

Who We Work With

We collaborate with agencies, venues, and event organisers across the UK, often supporting larger production companies at prestigious locations including royal palaces, museums, and art galleries.

What Makes Us Different

Clients tell us time and again that our team is refreshingly approachable. We care about getting the job right, not just getting it done. We own our equipment and can be flexible with pricing. No hidden extras, no inflated quotes. Just honest advice and great value. From solar-charged, battery-powered equipment to our electric van, we’re always looking for ways to reduce environmental impact. We explore new ways to use existing technologies to solve live event challenges – whether it’s wireless audio setups or remote power solutions.

Our Values

People first, professional delivery.

We believe great events are built on strong working relationships. We’re friendly, approachable, and professional on site, taking pride in clear communication and calm problem-solving (even when plans change).

Honest advice and fair value.

We offer honest advice and fair pricing based on what an event actually needs. Because we own and maintain our equipment, we can be flexible, transparent, and focused on long-term relationships rather than short-term margins.

Practical sustainability and innovation.

We care about doing things responsibly. From energy-efficient equipment and renewable power at our facilities to finding smarter technical solutions on-site, we focus on practical improvements that reduce impact while maintaining high production standards. Read our Sustainability Policy →

Mair Baker

Production Manager & Onsite Lead

Mair is happiest when the doors are open and the show is live. Our go-to on-site production lead, she keeps everything moving on the day so clients can actually enjoy the event they’ve worked so hard to put on.
