Audiovisual Rentals

At AV Connections in Charleston, SC, our audio visual rentals warehouse is stocked with an expansive inventory of the most cutting-edge audio visual rental equipment. We understand that every presentation, conference, meeting, wedding, or event is unique and may require additional audio visual services and support. At AV Connections, we have access to what you need, when you need it. We travel widely to service audio visual clients both large and small across our home state of North Carolina as well as throughout the United States and Caribbean. We are the finest, most competitive, and flexible audio visual rental supplier in the United States. Look to us for all of your conference, meeting, wedding, and party audio visual rental needs.

One of the most frequently asked questions we answer is whether a conference or meeting planner is required to use the in-house AV department for their conference. The fact is, many times, you are not. A wise planner gets bids from outside AV firms which often offer more economical conference audio visual packages even with possible surcharges a hotel may assess to use an outside AV provider. It is important to do this leg work before signing the hotel or conference center contract. This contract will lock the conference planner into using on-site services, not only for AV but for everything the conference entails. All of these services are available for much less on the outside.

AV Connections works with hundreds of hotels and conference sites around the nation. We regularly work with those where we are not the in-house provider, and the hotels and conference center certainly know how to handle this arrangement. For new planners, this is a little known method of significant AV cost savings for conference and meeting budgets. A meeting or conference planner need not be afraid to approach this negotiation with the conference center hotel and planning staff; it is the mark of a savvy, cost-sensitive planner.

Additionally, AV Connections’ technical staff is totally dedicated to your specific conference. Many times in-house AV departments are responsible for many groups and cannot dedicate their time to one specific group.

We are here to help with all of your questions regarding cost-effective and economical conference and meeting AV. AV Connections services conference clients throughout the United States from our branch offices. We are your best conference and meeting AV rentals and production resource.

“I have been in the event planning business now for almost 14 years and I have seen many vendors come and go, largely due to their lack of a quality product and service. Since I discovered them several years ago when yet another vendor ‘came and went’, I happened upon Jared and AV Connections and have used them ever since. No matter what the situation or how busy they already were, Jared and the team have always made room for us, no matter how large or small the job, and without saying came through with reasonably priced flying colors and prices! What REALLY makes the difference, though, is the service and attitude of the technicians as that always tips the scale for me. Always courteous, flexible, timely, willing and professional, Jared and AV Connections staff can always be counted on to make us look better and more professional in communicating with our constituents. Plain and simply, it is always a true pleasure to deal with them. And it never fails that when I fail to contact them for service (like now), they ‘check in’ with me to see if their services will be needed for some of our consistent and/or annual events requiring A/V. Thank you for your commitment and continued success!”
