The AV Partner That Makes Your Venue Shine

As a venue manager, you’re not just selling your space, you’re curating experiences. And when your AV partner gets it? Your venue becomes the star of the show. 

When they don’t? Guests and clients don’t blame the tech, they blame the venue. That’s why Chicago’s top venues trust AV Chicago as their preferred AV provider in Chicago. Our crew delivers venue-friendly audiovisual production that protects your space, elevates the attendee experience, and makes your team look great.

AV That Respects the Space

We specialize in working in historic and architecturally sensitive venues. From rigging that doesn’t touch plaster to sound systems designed for echo-prone rooms, we enhance the space without overwhelming it.

Whether you’re hosting a nonprofit gala, corporate conference, or social event, we’ll help you exceed client expectations while treating your venue like it’s our own.

“They’re the only AV company I trust in my historic space. They think ahead, bring extra gear, and treat the venue like it’s their own.” 

— Leah Stortz, The Old Post Office

It is rare to come across a group of individuals, creative talents all, who can quickly come together, and within hours, create something special. All of your inputs were valuable, your talents were above the call, and most of all, your professionalism was a standard that many would find difficult in our industry to achieve.

Projection
For someone who was very hesitant to make this move into in-person studio events, and this being the first, they did an incredible job of not making it a triggering or compromised experience. That speaks volumes to me – and is 1,000 times more influential than a minor prompter flop or miscue/feed of music.

“The A/V Chicago experience is exceptional!  From the initial conversation about our project, right through to the walk-out music cue, their knowledge, enthusiasm and professionalism confirmed we had made the right choice for audio/visual support. Top shelf equipment, all in prefect condition and a technical crew that analyzed our needs, exceeded our expectations at every step, and was totally focused on site on delivering excellence. They succeeded!”

Jordan Horras
Soul City Church
“We had a ‘guy’ back out 10 days before our grand opening ribbon cutting event. We had no idea what we needed, but after a five-minute call to AV we were in good hands. Their technician came right on time, set everything up with no wires to be seen, was very professional and everything sounded great.”
