Behind every live event is a lot of work the audience never sees.

Before doors open, the team may have already spent hours unloading equipment, building systems, running cables, testing audio and lighting, checking power and working through the final schedule.

That preparation is what allows the show to feel smooth once the audience arrives.

An awards night needs more than a microphone and a screen. Guests must hear every name, see every nominee, follow the programme and understand when to applaud, walk to the stage or return to their seat.

The best awards productions feel effortless because sound, video, lighting, staging and show control have been designed as one system. This checklist covers the equipment and people most events need.

Use this practical awards night AV checklist to plan sound, screens, lighting, staging, playback, cameras, show control and technical crew.

A small warehouse upgrade that is going to make life much easier: our new cable wall!

It means we can see stock at a glance, pick jobs faster and store cables properly between events. Not the most glamorous part of production, but good organisation in the warehouse makes a real difference on site.

Now we just need to get every last cable onto it!

A look back at Hollafest.

Despite the name, this was not a public festival. It was a wedding designed with a festival theme.

It gave the day a really personal feel, bringing together the atmosphere of a festival with their wedding celebration. It was brilliant to see the idea come to life and create something that felt completely right for them.

Here are a few highlights from a very memorable wedding.

Picket fencing is one of those simple additions that can make an event site feel much more organised.

It is useful for guiding queues, marking walkways, separating activity areas and giving marquees or entrances a clean finish.

Our black picket fence comes in freestanding 6ft sections, so it can be configured to suit the site without fixing into the ground.

Get in touch if you need fencing or other site infrastructure for an upcoming event.
