Some kind words from our clients:

(There’s a saying in Aotearoa - the kūmara doesn't speak of it’s own sweetness.)

Hi team - I can’t believe it has taken me this long, but today we were discussing this year’s event, and I realised that I hadn’t to sent you an email expressing our thanks. My apologies! You were an excellent team to work with, answered all my questions in a timely manner, and handled everything for us over the few days we were at QT Queenstown. Great troubleshooting from Izac when things went wrong, and always looking out for us (noise from builders!). Both Izac and Keegan were on hand when needed and I really appreciate that level of support. So, thank you very much.”

A great big thanks to Renato for his smooth skills at our event on Friday. He ran the live stream with calm efficiency and was happy to support in any way he could, which was much valued as we were a few short due to sickness, so I was running solo. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was always looking for improvements to help make the experience a richer one for all. I thanked him on the day but would be grateful if you could also thank him again as I really appreciated his expertise and can-do attitude.”

“The equipment and services provided delivered what we needed. Bruno arrived early and got everything set up and then worked through things with me to ensure I was able to transition from our first session of the morning to the virtual ZOOM session without any tech issues. He was clearly very technically capable as well as very professional and helpful. And he left his contact phone number just in case we had any issues. Fortunately, we did not.”

Liz - IceHouse

“Thank you so very much to you and your team! Both events were a success last week, your technician on site was a trooper! We had requested a mic in Richard Pearse last minute, and bless his heart he was able to secure us one. Our team at Jean Batten also had great feedback about that set-up as well, the booth worked out well and it was just great. Thank you so very much for arranging everything, good call on the additional speakers they really set the vibe for the night.
Honestly, you guys execute all the time and we are truly grateful for everything you and your team put in to ensure our event runs smoothly! Thank you again and looking forward to many more together.”

Sanne Mafi - South Seas Healthcare

Many thanks for getting in touch. I so appreciate the effort in helping us to get organised for our event at the Public Trust Hall. It was a great event and Jasmine was an incredible help — capable and a very calm presence on the night.”

Madeline - Patridge Jewellers

The support from your team was exceptional! The set-up was delivered as planned and provided the flexibility we needed to adjust the layout, maximising participant experience. The agility proved very beneficial as we encountered varying attendance levels for each simulation event - something we didn’t expect. The addition of your 5G Wi-Fi Modem provided great problem free connectivity, which was commented on by the international facilitators, who had encountered issues in the past delivering this simulation via internal corporate connections.

Although we did encounter a technical challenge, I am pleased to report this was not with the services enabled through AV Media, more of a hardware update on the simulation provider’s side. Our learning from this experience is to engage early during the planning phase with your team to ensure we understand all the services and capabilities you offer - as highlighted when Phil attended the room layout meeting and noted the ability to supply 5G Wi-Fi solution.

Our thanks to AV Media and especially Jordan and Phil, who not only did a wonderful job with the set-up and pack-out but were in regular contact to confirm the operation of the equipment. Overall, an outstanding experience and we will definitely be recommending you to others seeking similar support.”

Robert Raines - New Zealand Defence Force
December 2025

 

“I wanted to extend a huge thank you to you and the AV Media team for providing such outstanding AV support for the Wellington Address. As always, you went above and beyond in what you delivered, taking all the stress out of that portion of the event.
The team on the night were exceptional — please pass on my thanks to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make everything run so smoothly. Your professionalism and expertise continue to make a huge difference, not just for the Wellington Address, but for all our Chamber events you are involved in. We really appreciate your ongoing support and look forward catching up again soon.”

Charlotte Collins - Wellington Chamber of Commerce
November 2025

 

I have nothing but the highest praise for you and your team. We had a vision and a modest budget, and you made it happen. I didn’t have to worry about very technical details, as I knew you had it in hand.
A big thank you to Renato, we had a last-minute change of where the staging should be. It was not a problem at all for him, and he handled it so professionally. I appreciate his ability to adapt and be flexible.

We had great feedback from our guests, they all thought the space look fantastic. My boss was very pleased, we looked professional without being too showy. I know I can get a bit-detail oriented so thank you for replying to all my emails

Once again, many thanks!

Hilaire Carmody - Nikau Foundation

The event went flawless, not the least because of the quality of equipment that you provided and, even more importantly, your Technician’s excellent support. Even though we were supposed to meet with him on Saturday morning, he was there on Friday afternoon when I arrived and was happy to walk me through a few things ahead of the time. We had some last-minute requests (including re-adjusting the digital banner to better fit the screen) and he responded to all quickly and efficiently.

On Saturday morning he was there earlier than requested and walked me through all the technical things that I needed to know. All the systems (and backups) were in place and ready well before the event started. He stayed on for some time to make sure that all is working well, and he was even willing to come back twice to help me with two Zoom sessions. Overall, we found him not only helpful and professional, but he really went above and beyond what was asked and expected of him. He really made my work much easier.”

Balazs - University of Otago

“I  just wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you for your support in making All Star Wrestling: Porirua such an incredible success and all the hard work of your team yesterday. Thanks to your support, we welcomed an amazing crowd of 982 people to Te Rauparaha Arena. making it the largest professional wrestling event in Wellington in over 30 years. The energy, excitement, and community spirit in the building were truly something special.
Your support helped us create not just a wrestling show, but a full-scale entertainment event that brought Porirua together, and we couldn’t have done it without you. I hope you enjoyed being part of this milestone moment as much as we enjoyed delivering it.
Thanks again, honestly I’m over the moon.”

Paul Sayers - Wellington Saints

Live stream was great - good feedback from the simultaneous remote meetings that were happening so we were very pleased. All optics worked well and the guys were super helpful - I missed them when we left last night as they were having a break before pack down but I will send them a message. They were truly outstanding.
I’ve been so impressed working with your company - thanks so much and happy to complete any survey or if there is anything else you need!”

“We can't thank you and the AV Media team enough for your professionalism in helping pull off such great events for us.
Can you thank your team from us, including Jasmine and Keegan who weren't there for the final farewell. It’s been a delight to work with you and your wonderfully talented and professional team. Thank you again.
Sincerely (& most gratefully)”

“As for the rest of the event, I think it was great that Keegan checked in each day, and then I didn't need to talk to him, because everything worked just like it should have. That is honestly the best service we have ever had.
We will certainly be contacting you as we start finalising our Wellington-based 2026 events, and absolutely for the 2029 conference.”

Donna Vincent - NZATD

“Firstly, please pass along the biggest thanks to Ben (which we have already done, and hopefully effusively enough so he understood just how grateful we were). He was the consummate professional, but also so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. He made everything fool proof for us when we were running solo on day two and covered off all eventualities.
There was no way we would have been able deliver this session at Parehua Resort without the kit and Ben’s expertise, so it was a relief to know you were there to support us. Look forward to working together more.”

“Apologies for the delay, been in the thick of it catching up on all the things after getting back from NZ! Huge thankyou to you and both of your teams for their work on the events last week, everything went really well, there are always going to be little things to deal with during events, but Jordan and your team were great in helping rectify any issues we had! All part of the fun haha! Hopefully we make it back over to NZ some time, and I'll definitely let you know if we do. Same to you in Melbourne, feel free to reach out anytime if you need anything, we'd be happy to help.”

James - Scene Change

“On August 25, we held a hybrid event with in-person and online attendees in Wellington, New Zealand. AV Media expertly managed the event from educating me on the proper equipment to use, setting up the meeting room on Sunday evening so we were ready at 8 am the next day, creating the online Zoom link and registration page, and ensuring the online attendees' connections were solid. We also required the event to be recorded so a post-production file could be generated and made available to attendees and general public. This required two AV techs on-site for the day and several camera angles to capture the speakers, panelists, and audience. Sarina  and Ben  skillfully guided me in the process, making sure every detail was covered.

The months of preparation paid off as we received numerous compliments regarding the event logistics from the workshop team and the attendees. I would certainly use AV Media again for another local New Zealand event. I'm deeply grateful for everyone's dedication and hard work, and proud of what we accomplished together.  Stay tuned to see how the post-production file turns out.”

Connie - NiPERA Inc.

"The event ran really smoothly, and Mitchell is so professional when communicating with our speakers. He's incredibly detail-oriented, throughout the event, he consistently checked in with me first, without me even needing to ask. 

This is the second time our speakers have commented on how well the AV has been handled. You guys consistently do a great job!
Thanks again to you and the team. Looking forward to our next event!"

Roxy - Marketing Association

“OMG it was incredible very professional and totally blew all out stakeholder and Trustees minds. They kept asking how we did it ha!

The team where so calm and resolved any issues without a fuss, nothing was a hassle and everything when so smooth from start to finish.

They took initiative and made tweaks to the lighting, sound made sure everything was perfect – we loved having them and was so proud of what was produced from an idea Philip had.

Have to say the production and result exceeded our expectations making the event really special.”

Adrienne - Arthritis New Zealand

We truly appreciate your partnership in helping us deliver such a high-quality event.

Cameron - Central Pulse Netball

"Huge thanks to you all. We were super-impressed with Mitchell and Max.
Mitchell ran both days' AV perfectly - on hand for the last minute presentations, flexible with his USB handy. The drop box worked well but mostly the presentations came in during the day so we appreciated that Mitchell took this in his stride.
Mitchell was so helpful to the presenters setting them up in both rooms and supporting them and their nerves.
We loved his positive, helpful and professional attitude.
Max was a gem - I think he got the easier job on the night for the awards, again he was professional, friendly and helpful with the presenters and musicians.
Again Max's music selection and the awards ceremony went without a hitch. Everyone came across very well - all of the presenters, the award winners and the musicians.
Sam, you run a great business and we appreciate all of your organisation.”

Thank you and all your team who looked after us. We will definitely be back!”

I have appreciated all your comms leading up to the event with several zoom calls in there as well. I’ve always felt confident that all the details have been noted and cared for.

Your team on the day were wonderful, I described them as super professional but also relaxed, which is the perfect combo. Nothing was too hard, even last-minute changes with guests.
Renato, Jess, and Heather were all wonderful to work with. I’ve only good things to say.

We were very happy with the results; we raised $101,800 on the night! Thank you for being part of that result – all the money going to free CAP debt help services for New Zealand families struggling with unmanageable debt and money chaos. Wellington is very generous!”

As you know it was our first time streaming and recording our events in this way and we are really pleased with how it all went. I am yet to watch the recordings but have had good feedback from online attended (they appreciated the camera panning rather than just a still shot) and in person, all went well.
Please pass on my thanks to Hugo and Andrew - they were very attentive and made sure everything went smoothly.
We have an event coming up next month for which we are still discussing the online/recording aspect but will come back to you in the next couple of weeks. Otherwise, look forward to working with you at the conference.”

“Thank you and the rest of your team for yesterday and it was a pleasure to work with you. The feedback I have is that the AV went well overall, and we would like to thank Renato for facilitating the presentations and being helpful with last-minute requests and changes. The screen set up was clear to see even on such a sunny day.   The monitor in front of the speakers was useful as was the hand-held microphone, which we needed for questions so I’m glad we went with those.  There was an issue with the presenter clicker which kept sticking and not moving to the next slide easily and apparently needed more pressure to make it work but that was replaced by Renato.”

I can only give AV Media rave reviews! Jordan and colleague were onto it very promptly and the system was ready to go well ahead of schedule. Jordan told me what I needed to know about the control console and it was super easy to understand. The sound was fantastic especially for the opening sequence and video clips. However the best was yet to come and I’m not sure how it really came about! Your staff member Byron came along and asked how things were going. I was finding it a bit clunky to get the embedded videos and YouTube videos in the PowerPoint playing at the right time. Byron seems to know a lot about this and offered to help. The results were outstanding! It was so easy and seamless! This added a lot to the professionalism of the launch and I’m super grateful for this assistance."

“A highly successful conference at Wharewaka and due in no small part to your AV skills and expertise. I did have concerns earlier on and shared them with you, and I appreciate how responsive and understanding you were.
On the weekend we had a couple of glitches, but our participants were not aware and your remarkable team solved them. They were a pleasure to work with, always responding to queries and problem solvers.
We couldn't have hoped for more. You delivered. Thank you."

Just a quick note to say a massive thanks to all three of you, and the rest of the AV Media team for all your assistance with our concert over the weekend at Wellington College. The visuals, sound, and lighting all came together really well for the concert.It was so useful catching up on the Friday evening, as it gave us a chance to tweak a few things and come up with a setup that we can apply to all future concerts at the venue.We look forward to working with you in 2026.”

“I would like to express our gratitude to you on behalf of the Caltex Team for helping us run our Roadshow event this week.
Your staff service and facilities were amazing and faultless. Also, the seamless integration between SO/ Auckland and AV Media was efficient and appreciated.
Everything went very smoothly without problem which we all know means a lot of effort has gone on in the background to ensure that outcome, and we were very grateful for that.
Thanks again.”

Sam mentioned that Jordan was the best AV person he's ever worked with—seamlessly handling all the technical aspects and being extremely helpful throughout the event. Everything was executed perfectly!! Natalie, you also did an excellent job. Everything was exactly how we wanted, and there was nothing missing. All around, it was a superb team effort, and you made our night go through without a hitch. Thank you all for your hard work and professionalism. It was a pleasure working with you both.”

“Thank you so much for providing AV services to our event last week. The staff on site Dan and Cam were very helpful and professional! The two day workshop went really well with their technical support. A big THANK YOU to you and others who we’ve been communicating with since the beginning on the AV requirements. Courtney, you provided great support to us. Your responses to our enquiries were always so efficient! Such as changing the layout of the rooms, adding more mics and laptops to the event etc.

We appreciated your hard work - everyone who worked behind the scenes made our workshop successful. We will come back to Rydges Auckland again and I look forward to working with you all in the near future too! The professional services you provided gave us a great experience. We will recommend you to our partners too.”

“Thank you for following up with us. Our hui was a great success and we enjoyed being in Pipitea again. My feedback in regard to your equipment and service is as follows:

  • It was lovely to work with Renato, he was punctual (he was early and I was late), patient (as I got pulled away from his briefing multiple times), and very thorough in his overview of equipment, and availability if needed throughout the day. The only thing I forgot to ask was about collection of the gear at the end of the day, but I text Renato the following morning and he explained the scheduled pick up process.

  • Hand held microphone worked well during the day and no battery change was required

  • Your guidance on the larger screen was on point, even though our audience reduced, it was good to have the bigger size screen

We appreciate your service and support Gyda.”

Our event was a great success – we are really delighted with how it went and our delegates have been giving us amazing feedback, thank you. The success was due in no small part to Ben – he was an absolute star and ensured all our tech ran smoothly and seamlessly. He had (as we expected) multiple last minute changes and additions/switches – he handled them in a beautifully unflappable manner and I was able to completely relax/switch off from the whole tech side of things as I knew he had it so well in hand.

So thank you – to you, your company and please do pass on our special thanks to Ben for being such a fantastic and valuable part of the team last week. In terms of equipment, I don’t really have any feedback other than it all worked well, thank you. Overall, very happy customers here – thank you again for all your support in the preparation for this and for Ben’s amazing work last week.”

“I wanted to take a moment, on behalf of the whole Life Flight team, to personally thank you for being such a generous supporter of our Evening with Shaun Wallace event last Sunday. The event raised thousands of dollars and connected Life Flight to new supporters and corporate friends.  

It was a great success, and we are incredibly grateful to have reliable friends like yourself who made this last-minute event possible.   Guests on the night have reached out and thanked us for the fun and lively evening (plus the opportunity to meet Shaun), and the event simply wouldn’t have been the same without your support.”

I appreciate the time and effort you and Sarina put into planning the conference, including the countless emails and conference calls leading up to the event.
