TESTIMONIALS

We were running a session that was hosted in Wellington and streamed live via Zoom including panelists in Wellington and the US. The team helped us to seamlessly set up the technology so that the whole event ran smoothly and we got great feedback from both attendees and panellists on the hybrid in person and online event.

“This was a very big event for us and you all made it such a success and at short notice. Please pass on our thanks to the entire team, I am sure there will be more of these events (hybrid) going ahead in future and our experience has been very positive. I had registered and watched myself at home; the quality and presentations were superb and it all went off without a hitch and made great viewing.”

“The event was a great success and we were very pleased with the venue and the technical crew who were very professional and helpful throughout.

The technical side proceeded seamlessly with no hitches – moving from powerpoint to a zoom presentation and when each speaker moved up to speak their presentation was ready on screen as they arrived at the lectern. Cameron was a pleasure to work with. He solved many problems through the day with competence and cheerfulness.”

“Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help with the 2020 Wellington Gold Awards Finalists Function at Wharewaka last night. The set-up looked terrific when we arrived in the afternoon – Bree had gone out of his way to make sure everything was exactly as we’d asked for.

The event itself was a great success, with 250 happy punters in the room. The live music / audio / video components went off perfectly, and the show opener which required some heavy-duty mixing between on-screen footage and audio plus the live performers over the top set the tone brilliantly!

Bree was, as always, a pleasure to work with. In my 45 years on radio I’ve worked with a lot of techs, and people with Bree’s talent and attitude are hard to find. I look forward to working with you all again next year!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with AV Media for a number of years now and over a couple of cities in New Zealand. The professionalism from everyone in the team is exemplary, the knowledge of events outstanding and I can walk into an event and know that it will be run flawlessly.

Prior to each event starting the team working behind the scenes offer excellent support with up to date floorplans, offer advice on all things AV and keep me in the loop with anything that comes up prior to my event.

During the running of any of my events the team on the ground are always solution focused and assisted me with a last minute issue on my presentation.

I have the upmost confidence with AV media – and I look for venues that they work in because I know that my events will be run professionally.”

Their professionalism shone through and everything went off without a hitch.  Thanks Emma, Morghan and the team for your input into a highly successful event.”

"A very warm and genuine thank you from the Wellington Homeless Women’s Trust for supporting our inaugural Gala Dinner on Thursday 11th April 2019. The event was a wonderful success and with your support we have raised a significant amount to help support the homeless women of Wellington. The AV experience was simply fantastic – the feedback from the attendees has been extremely positive and many commented on how wonderfully the AV added to the experience and how the screens and cameras ensured everyone could see regardless of where seated.

It was great to see 450 members of the Wellington business community enjoying the venue.The AV Media team have been professional and supportive throughout. Our very special thanks to
Marv Karawana especially for his hard work and support. We sincerely can’t thank you enough for helping us to take homelessness out of the shadows."

“On behalf of our client and ForumPoint2 Conference Partners, we would like to express a huge thank you to you and your fabulous team for making our time prior to, and whilst onsite as seamless and positive as possible.  We have had fabulous feedback from delegates and committee about the conference (and definitely Bob’s skype call) and realise a large portion of this is due to your team’s efficient and can-do attitude onsite.  The technician was everything I could have asked for in terms of support and quick responses to queries. “

“I have been involved with the organising committee of the Hutt City and more recently Hutt Valley Sports Awards. The event has run consecutively for 8 years starting in 2011 with 32 tables, rising incrementally to 110 tables in 2018, resulting in 1100 people in attendance.

The phenomenal growth of 67 tables in 2016 to 93 tables in 2017 and 110 in 2018 is due solely to the innovative and creative talent that exists in the AV Media team.

The staging, lighting, audio and big screens continue to raise the bar, wow the crowd and ensure a world class entertaining ‚‘must attend’ event. Seeing is believing in the entertainment business and the ability of AV Media to continually lift the bar is the feature of Wellington’s most successful corporate event.

In my capacity as a broadcaster of 30 years, I have attended hundreds of events with countless production companies and the AV Media team in Wellington are the best I have been associated with in New Zealand and compare favourably with similar companies of the highest level around the world.”

Ken Laban - Chairman Hutt Valley Sports Awards

I have worked with Emma and her team at Westpac Stadium over the past 3 years for our Annual Rural Connectivity Symposium. Each year nothing was too difficult and they were flexible with our changing needs prior to the event. The provided floorplans and worked closely with the conference team at the Stadium which provided peace of mind we were all on the same page. On the day the team were incredibly helpful and worked with us to make sure everything looked seamless. We hope to work with them again in the future.
