“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.”

“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.”

"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!"

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.”

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.”

The food was outstanding – I can guarantee no-one went hungry for the two days!!!!
The venue itself was fantastic. I will admit I was a little nervous about how it would work being such a big space, but it worked really well.

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.”

Becca and Nadine, you and your team were amazing! The space was well set up, the food was plentiful and delicious and our needs were met beyond expectation. Natalie and Keegan thank you both, the AV set up was perfect and we had no issue at all.
I am not sure how you do this all day everyday as the team are all pretty tired today. We look forward to working with you again.

It's such a feat to see it all come together and Jasmine and the rest of the team were a huge part of that. We have especially had some really great feedback about the online component. Comments like "best-managed", "seamless" online experience. Which is amazing! Thank you so much, it was great working with you leading up to and during the event.”

“Thank you so much to you and your team on the day, my first event managing AV went smashingly well all thanks to your team. John and Andrew were amazing to work with, nothing was too difficult for them and they were very accommodating so how the day panned out. So please pass on our thanks to them as well. A few keynote speakers came up to me after and praised how professional the team was on the day and made them sound great.We would love to work with AV media again, it was a great suggestion to add a second operator we certainly needed him on the day.”

Corporate Travel Management - Holiday Inn Auckland Airport

“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.”

GNS Science - Wharewaka Function Centre

“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."

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."

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.”

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.”

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.

“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.”
