Before agreeing to any audio visual hire contract one should check carefully what is offered and have a few questions to ask, as well as noting any points one wants to check. There are many AV hire companies, but they differ in what they offer. Most companies have a range of different packages available.
It's a good idea to ask whether the equipment is covered by insurance, or whether there is a charge for this in the hire agreement. It is sensible to book well in advance, but if circumstances do not allow one to do that most AV companies can cope with fairly short notice.
The company will supply regularly serviced, technologically advanced equipment, in order that their clients have a good experience with their AV hire. They hope that people will be so impressed by their service that users will recommend the service to their friends, this being the most efficient (and free!) form of advertising
If it is just a small occasion with family and friends a video camera and a small disco unit, operated by a 'techy' friend may be all that is required. Costs will be minimal, yet a record of the day will be available for people to watch later. Hopefully there will also be some good music to make the event go with a swing.
If one is planning a more formal and larger event, then one might prefer to have a a solution more tailored to one's requirements. Most AV companies can offer this, with sound stages, plasma screens and people with the ability to use them.
At the top of the scale, live events, such as pop festivals, conferences and large exhibitions can all be catered for. The specialized technical know-how required for these events can be hired alongside the equipment if necessary. However these are some of the few occasions where an AV company may not be able to provide solutions at short notice.
If one is planning a large event such as a conference, or a live event, the company's technicians will work closely with the client and their technical team to ensure that the equipment supplied is right for the job. They will also ensure that wherever one is at the venue, speakers or performers can be heard and be seen.
It is essential to maintain contact with the rental company whilst planning one's event. If there is a change in requirements, the hire company will be advised of them soon enough to meet them and ensure that there will be no problems with AV equipment, whatever the event.
