Hiring a live event production company can make all the difference when it comes to the success of your event. However, before you start planning your event, there are several pieces of information you should have in mind to ensure that you get the best service possible.

This information will help the production company determine the best setup for sound, lighting and video for your event.
Audio / Video requirements
It's also essential to know if you'll require sound, such as wireless microphones, audio from a computer or video, or wireless mics in the audience for asking questions to the host. Will you need projection screens or large monitors for the audience, or as a confidence monitor for everyone on stage? Video cameras play a crucial role when it some to showing your on stage talent to you audience, especially in a large facility. This information will help the production company determine the best visual system for your event so everyone has an unobstructed view of your content.
Event Decor
In addition to fundamental equipment like audio and video for your event, what will set it apart from other events is the decor you select to make your stage exciting. Will you need drapery for behind the stage or the entryway, uplighting is a great way to add a professional look? And speaking of lighting…How is the room lighting, or will you need additional stage lighting? There are many different types of lights for an unlimited number of effects your production company can create for your event. Video and sound are the fundamental pieces of the production but lighting will create the desired atmosphere and is what your audience will remember long after the show.
