Choosing an external audiovisual provider vs. the in-house

One of the things we get asked about a lot is why can’t I use an external audiovideo provider at my chosen venue. The answer is you can! It’s common practice for hotels, convention centres and other venues to have relationships with larger AV production providers. Still, clients need to understand that they are free to use whatever AV partner they want to run their event.

At Straight Street Event Services,  we know that choosing the right external audiovisual provider for your event is an important decision, and sometimes clients can feel pressured to use established in-house suppliers. Assurances of a straightforward process and simplicity are promised but may, in fact, not be easier at all. It is important to know that you do not have to use these in-house suppliers for your event. In Toronto, GTA or Southwestern Ontario, you can source external experienced AV production companies to run your event. 

By considering external options, you can begin to dream bigger about the types of production technology you envision for your event. Imagining state-of-the-art equipment and technology, managed by an expert crew, provides enhanced options to bring your vision to life. These could include large digital screens, high-quality sound systems, live event stage design, creative event lighting, and giant projection capabilities. 

You have the choice to hire an external audiovisual provider at your chosen venue, ensuring the perfect fit for your event.

In addition, you have the right to take your time, ask questions and obtain comparative quotes.

There are clear benefits to choosing an external audiovisual provider for your production needs.
