HOTELS

HOTELS & CONVENTION CENTERS

PREFERRED AV

Your clients want great service when planning an event at your hotel. They need to trust your AV staff just as much as they trust the rest of the hotel management team. That is why using AGP in your hotel as a preferred vendor for your clients could potentially be one of the best decisions for your company. Having a quality audio/visual staff on site during your event keeps your hotel staff from the burdon of managing equipment inventory as well as set-ups for events and meetings. Our services will maximize your hotel revenue and increase the potential of every meeting. Your clients will want to return in the future due to the outstanding service across the board.

It is worth it to work this into the event budget. In-house audio should really only be used for speaking with only one mic or dinner music, not multiple speakers or presentations. External sound also allows the sound to be aimed at the audience for better clarity and minimul feeback.
There are many different types of lighting that can be incorporated into the event you are planning. You can expect to be charged these amounts depending on the clients needs for lighting. Needs will vary depending on the type of event and the stage presence desired.Sometimes staging is provided at no charge from the hotel.STAGING: $75/ (per 4'X4' riser)PIPE & DRAPE: $10-$16/footPODIUM LIGHTING: $245STAGE LIGHTING: $440UPLIGHTING: $50/eachPIN SPOTS: $25/eachCUSTOM GOBO: $100/each STOCK GOBO: $35/each SPOT LIGHTS: $165/eachMOVERS: $250/eachTRUSS: price will vary depending on use and rigging-call for pricing

An event with multiple power point presentations requires 2 techs. If your event has more than 6 microphones or lavaliers, it is best to have an A2 on site. If there are no lighting adjustments necessary for your event, there is no need for a lighting tech. *Remember...the quality of your tech will determine the quality of your event!
