Choosing the Right AV Company for You
When it comes to audio visual production, things can quickly become confusing if you’re not familiar with the industry. That’s why choosing the right AV company is so important, it can make all the difference to your event.
So how do you make sure you’ve picked the right one? Follow these simple steps to make the decision easier:
Define Your Event Needs
Before choosing an AV company, it’s important to understand exactly what your event requires. Consider the following:
- What type of event is it?
- How many people are attending?
- What venue is it being held at?
- Is it indoors or outdoors?
Answering these questions helps determine the level of production needed. For example, a wedding will typically require a more comprehensive setup compared to a smaller private event.
At Just Smile, we guide our clients through this process to make sure the setup perfectly matches the event.
Set Your Budget
As with any service, cost plays a role. However, it’s important not to focus solely on the cheapest option, as this can often mean compromising on quality.
At Just Smile, we work with your budget while maintaining a high standard of production, ensuring you receive real value for money without cutting corners. That balance between quality and cost is exactly what you should be looking for in an AV company.
Consider Location
Location can be a factor, although many AV companies are happy to travel. That said, it’s worth considering whether a company is the right fit for your specific event.
For example, for a very small setup in a remote location, a local provider may be more suitable. However, for larger or more detailed events, it’s often worth enquiring with experienced companies.
Just Smile operates nationally, and because we tailor our services to your budget and requirements, it’s always worth getting in touch, even if your event isn’t local to us.
Build a Good Working Relationship
When planning an event, you’ll be working closely with your AV provider, so having a good relationship is key.
You want a company that:
- Communicates clearly
- Understands your vision
- Doesn’t pressure you into unnecessary upgrades
At Just Smile, we pride ourselves on offering a personal, friendly service. As a small but experienced team, you’ll typically deal with the same people throughout the process, making everything smoother, more efficient and more enjoyable.
Check Reviews and Previous Work
Just like any major purchase, it’s important to do your research.
Look for:
- Customer reviews and testimonials
- Photos or videos of previous events
- Consistency in quality and service

Choosing an AV company doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By understanding your needs, setting a clear budget, and doing your research, you can confidently select the right provider.
