Planning a Christmas party, New Year’s Eve celebration or another big date in the calendar?
AVE Services provides the sound, lighting, staging and technical support that turn seasonal events into nights people talk about long after they’ve gone home.
Based in Berkshire and working across the South of England, we support venues, event planners, production companies and in-house teams with reliable equipment and friendly, experienced technicians.
From office Christmas parties to countdowns on New Year’s Eve, we’ll help your seasonal event look and sound spot on.
What we do for seasonal events
Every event is different, but the core ingredients are similar. We can provide:
-
Professional sound systems – microphones, speakers and mixing for speeches, DJs and live music.
-
Event lighting – uplighting, moving heads, festoon, gobos and special effects to suit your theme.
-
Stages & set – stage platforms, backdrops, and scenic elements for performances and awards.
-
Screens & projection – LED screens or projectors for countdowns, videos, sponsor content and messaging.
-
On-site technicians – a calm, experienced team to set up, run and pack down your event.
-
Full AV packages – tailored to your venue, guest numbers and running order.
Whether you’re hosting 50 colleagues or 500 guests, we’ll recommend a setup that fits the room, the mood and your budget.
