Time to lock in your Event AV
Believe it or not, we’re only four months away from Christmas. That means the festive season is closer than it feels. And if you’re responsible for planning, now is the perfect time to get ahead of the rush and make sure your event goes off without a hitch. Whether it’s a party, awards dinners, school production, or a corporate celebration.
Why Start Planning Now?
Come December, AV and event production teams will be running flat out. The closer you leave your planning, the harder it becomes to secure the kit and crew you need. By locking things in now, you guarantee that:
- The right sound and lighting equipment is available.
- You’ve got professional crew locked in for setup and operation.
- There’s time to test ideas, run throughs, and add those extra touches that make your event stand out.
What Events Need AV Support?
Corporate Christmas Parties: Nothing kills the mood like poor sound for speeches or dodgy lighting on the dancefloor.
Awards Nights: Clear audio, lighting, and maybe even a screen for highlights, all need advance planning.
School Shows and Concerts: Microphones, staging, and streaming so parents and families don’t miss a thing.
Community Events & Fundraisers: Outdoor rigs, temporary staging, and reliable power setups.
The Benefits of Planning Event AV Early
Peace of mind: Knowing your AV is sorted frees you to focus on catering, décor, and guest experience.
Better creativity: With more time, you can plan something bespoke, maybe a themed lighting display, or live streaming for those who can’t make it.
Cost control: Last-minute bookings often mean higher costs and fewer options.
Final Thought
The Christmas season is the busiest time of year in events, but also the most rewarding when done right. Four months might feel like plenty of time, but in the world of event production, it’s the sweet spot for securing the best team, equipment, and ideas.
If you’re thinking about a Christmas event, now’s the moment to get it in the diary and start the conversation. That way, when December rolls around, you’ll be enjoying the celebration, not scrambling for solutions.
