What Houston Event Producers Say About Us
Real reviews from our 46+ five-star Google reviews — event planners, corporate teams, and private clients we've produced with over the years.
"AB AV Rentals made our event an incredible success. Their expertise and know-how gave us peace of mind, and created a flawless audio visual experience for our virtual guests. In Allen's words, 'This will be easy!' And indeed, he was right! It was easy for him, and I didn't have to worry about playing tech-support."
"I've used AB AV Rentals for over 20 years for my private events, and they have consistently exceeded my expectations. They are reliable, professional, and always up to date with the latest AV equipment for both large and small events. I trust Allen and his team to always come through."
"I've worked with AB AV for several large events (and a couple of small ones) and they are always very responsive, prepared, and efficient. I recommend this company to anyone who needs any AV assistance!"
"We recently worked with AB AV Rentals Houston for a scientific event, and the experience was excellent. They not only provided high-quality equipment but also offered outstanding technical support throughout the event. The team was easy to work with, flexible, and quick to respond."

Event Production Questions
How much does event production cost in Houston?
Full production packages typically start around $2,500 for a half-day event (small conference, private party) and scale up based on scope. Mid-size corporate events run $5,000–$15,000. Large conferences, concerts, or multi-day productions run $15,000+. Cost drivers: equipment complexity (LED walls, multi-camera, streaming), crew size, event duration, and venue considerations. Every proposal is itemized — you see exactly what each line represents.
How far in advance should I book event production?
For most events, 4–8 weeks ahead is comfortable. For peak seasons (spring/fall weddings and galas, Houston conference season), 8–12 weeks is safer to lock in crew and equipment. Large-scale productions or hybrid events with tight technical requirements should start the conversation 3+ months out. Same-week bookings are sometimes possible for smaller events — call us directly for anything urgent.
Do you handle everything, or just the equipment?
We handle everything — design, equipment, setup, live operation, and teardown. That's the difference between an "AV rental" and event production. You don't set up your own line array, program your own lighting cues, or run your own live stream. Our crew does all of it. You focus on your event.
Can you produce hybrid or virtual events?
Yes. Hybrid production is one of our fastest-growing service lines. We handle in-person production alongside multi-platform live streaming (YouTube, Facebook, Zoom, Teams), remote audience Q&A integration, and post-event content packaging. Our clients keep in-person attendance for the room energy and get global reach from streaming.
What if something breaks during the event?
We bring redundant equipment for critical components — backup mics, spare speakers, redundant switching, spare cables — on every event of size. If a primary system fails, we swap to backup within minutes. In 19+ years of Houston events, equipment failure has almost never caused an event to stop.
Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
Yes. We carry $2M commercial general liability and equipment coverage. COI is available same-day at no charge with standard $1M/$2M limits. Higher limits and additional insured requirements are accommodated when required by the venue.
What Houston venues have you worked at?
George R. Brown Convention Center, NRG Center, Toyota Center, Marriott Marquis Downtown, Hilton Americas, Post Oak Hotel, Discovery Green, Silver Street Studios, The Bell Tower on 34th, and dozens of Houston hotels, country clubs, churches, and private venues. If you're at a venue we don't know yet, we do a walkthrough before production day.
Do you produce events outside Houston?
Yes. We travel across Texas regularly — Dallas, Austin, San Antonio — and out-of-state for repeat clients. Travel is line-itemed transparently in the proposal so there's no markup surprise.
