Photo of Lost Productions PDX Lost Productions PDX "I hired Lost Productions to set up lighting for my Music Festival, The Campout. David went ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations in every aspect. From his work, to professionalism, and communication. 10/10 recommend and will be hiring him again! - The Campout Music Festival" Based in Portland, Oregon (783 miles from Santa Barbara) Kelsey Boomhower - The Campout Music Festival Photo of CCMG Events CCMG Events "We hired CCMG Events for my stepdaughter’s 18th birthday party, and they were great. From the start, Antonio was professional, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. You can tell he’s a true veteran in the industry — he handled everything with ease, even when there were sudden program changes during the event. Without missing a beat, Antonio adapted and kept the energy going smoothly, helping me as the host every step of the way. His support made a huge difference. I highly recommend Antonio for any event and will definitely be booking him again for our future celebrations!" Based in Denver, Colorado (889 miles from Santa Barbara) Nash E. - 18th Birthday Party Photo of Ipme Ipme "IPME DJ David & wedding coordinators are amazing people to work with. My wife and I enjoyed our wedding to the fullest. Everything happened so naturally. Our wedding coordinator sees what you want and executed with a loving professional manner. Music selection was great, they read the environment and made everyone happy, something that can be difficult to do. They make you feel as if they are part of your family and want everything to content just the way you envisioned them. They truly went above and beyond for our special day, which is surprising how competitive their prices are. They truly love what they do. These are the kind happy spirits you would want on your special day." Based in Fort Worth, Texas (1,291 miles from Santa Barbara) Ivan-Lily Loya - wedding Photo of Timothy Zick Timothy Zick "We are so grateful we crossed paths with Tim. With professionalism and expertise, Tim was able to handle our project efficiently. But not just handle it, he made us feel like a part of the process. He made something typically difficult to understand so fun to be a part of. Tim's got a great ear for quality and his experience in live sound is such an asset. Give him a call, you'll be glad you did!" Based in Omaha, Nebraska (1,374 miles from Santa Barbara) Robert and Shelly Photo of Redrocket Productions Redrocket Productions "After our first time working with REDROCKET PRODUCTIONS we knew we would never use anyone else! They provide top of the line equipment, experience, and professionalism. They deliver MORE than promised. It puts our minds at ease knowing our national acts will be cared for, and their requests will be met. They arrive early, and are ready when we are. Thank you REDROCKET! We look forward to our upcoming concerts in 2020 with you" Based in Atlanta, Georgia (2,011 miles from Santa Barbara) Lisa Yeater Photo of Awaaz Group Awaaz Group ""Beyond Expectation" Hands down the best in the business! Professional, immensely talented, and a total pleasure to work with from start to finish. They brought so much value and energy to the table. If you're on the fence about hiring them, just do it—you'll thank yourself later." Based in Orlando, Florida (2,280 miles from Santa Barbara) 1st July 2026 Saeed Abbasi - Sangeet Night

Frequently asked questions

Booking audio / visual hire typically costs between $95 and $1,050+, with an average of $400. Pricing depends on the type and quantity of equipment, the rental duration and whether a technician is included to operate the setup. AV hire can range from basic speaker and screen packages to full production setups with projectors, mixers and staging.

The AV hire suppliers provide a wide range of AV equipment including projectors, screens, PA systems, microphones (wired and wireless), mixing desks, stage monitors, LED walls, lighting rigs and video recording equipment. Many suppliers also offer a technician to set up, operate and manage the equipment throughout the event.

Typical bookings for audio / visual hire include corporate conferences, presentations, live events, weddings, parties, exhibitions and theatre productions. Professional AV equipment ensures audiences can see and hear presentations and performances clearly.

Many AV hire suppliers include a technician to deliver, set up, operate and collect the equipment. This is strongly recommended for larger events or complex setups. For the best experience, confirm whether a technician is included or available as an add-on.

For standard equipment hire, two to four weeks of notice is usually sufficient. Large events or specialist equipment may need longer, particularly during busy periods. Gig Heaven recommends discussing your requirements and timeline with the supplier as soon as the event details are confirmed.

Most AV suppliers will quote for single items such as a projector, screen or microphone as readily as for a full setup. Minimum hire values and delivery charges often apply to small orders, so listing everything needed in one enquiry usually prices better than several separate bookings. Suppliers can also advise where one larger item replaces several small ones.

Delivery and collection are quoted separately by many suppliers and depend on distance, access and how much equipment is involved. Setup is often included where a technician is booked and charged as an extra where the hire is equipment only. Access details such as stairs, lift size and parking are worth mentioning at the quote stage.

Some venues limit rigging points, floor loading or where cabling can run, and a few require the supplier to work alongside their own in-house team. Historic and listed buildings are the most likely to have restrictions. Checking with the venue early lets the supplier plan a setup that will actually be allowed.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
