No matter how skilled you may be, when it comes to sound and lighting of an avent, hire the equipment and a professional to set it up and operate it. If you do not hire this equipment and the services of an audio visual company, you will almost always regret it in the end. Here are questions that you need to ask before you rent this type of equipment, and get this type of professional service.
Are professional services available through the rental company? Not all rental companies also have professional technicians standing by. You may be required to hire third party services instead. Be sure that you ask this question, and try to find a service that rents equipment as well as services together for the best results.
When you get a sound and lighting hire from a company, are the services of a professional technician included in the cost? Very few companies include the professional services with the cost of renting the equipment. In almost all cases, the professional services are separate, as they are not always needed. However, you may be able to negotiate a deal, and get either the equipment or the services at a reduced rate.
How much time does the professional need to get everything set up and operational? It takes time to get lighting and sound properly set up, and you need to know how much time is required, so that you can plan for this period of time well in advance. You don’t want the professional showing up an hour before your event is to start, only to learn that they need three hours to get set up. Also find out what is required of you and the venue ahead of time, so that there are not any delays. For example, do you need to rent generators and such?
When you have a sound and lighting hire, will the professional be available during the event? Unless you specify that you want the professional to be available during the event, they may not be. They may get everything set up and then leave, unless prior arrangements have been made. Of course, you will have to pay for the professionals’ time, but this is usually money well spent in the long run.
How experienced is the professional? Nothing could be more nightmarish than having the day of your event come and seeing an unskilled teenager show up to set up your equipment. Is this the professional that the company promised you? Know in advance how experienced the professional will be, and try to meet this professional in advance – for your peace of mind, and the success of your event.
