Are services from Pete Pinnington Productions expensive?
Our business overheads are very low, so we don’t need to charge extortionate prices to cover our costs.
We take pride in how affordable our audio-visual solutions services are, but like most aspects of event management, the cost will depend on what sort of event you’re running, the scale, the setting, and what sort of performance you need. We’re always happy to discuss quotes and pricing with you, just give us a call on 0800 0939 909 or email pete@petepinningtonproductions.com to get in touch!
Our prices will always include the use of the equipment itself, technical support if needed, delivery, setup and removal, and any custom requirements you need – we don’t do hidden charges or surprise fees at Pete Pinnington Productions.
How does the process work?
Pre-planning
Once you’re in touch with us, we will help you arrange everything. We’ll go over all the specific details, like what your event is, what the purpose of it is and when and where you’re planning to hold it. We'll also go over the main organiser or brand and expected attendance numbers. This will help us provide the perfect equipment and services to make sure everything runs smoothly. We’ll then be able to provide a quote, which you can factor into your budget, and we’ll book your event in to make sure everything’s available. Where appropriate, we’ll arrange site visits to your event venue, and meet you to discuss the best placements of equipment and how we can best help you and your event. Feel free to call us whenever you need to if alterations are made to the event or if you realise you need anything else. We’ll be happy to adjust to suit you.
On the day
On the day of the event - or the day before, depending on your requirements – our personnel will arrive at your venue and set the equipment up before your start time so that it’s ready to go when you need it. If you need someone to operate the equipment during the event, let us know in advance and we'll book an expert to be on site at the times they are needed. After the end of the event, the technicians will take down the equipment, pack up and leave the venue by the time agreed, and our account managers will get your feedback on the event.
When will I be able to use the equipment?
When the equipment will be ready to go depends on your event and venue. If your event begins in the early morning, we’d always recommend getting access the night before, so our technicians can set everything up overnight and have time to do all the necessary technical tests. Otherwise, it’ll be a very early start the next morning.
If you need the equipment to be in place for rehearsals or run-throughs, we’ll need to factor this into our set-up time as well. We’ll discuss all of this with you when planning your event.
How long does the equipment take to set up?
Setup is always kept quick and efficient by our professional technicians, who’re used to getting to a venue and quickly getting everything ready. We’ll always make sure that your event times are double-checked and plan everything out so our teams have plenty of time to get the equipment to your specifications.
If I book my own musicians or entertainment, can your technicians work with them?
They absolutely can! Just let us know what entertainment you’ve booked, what instruments they’ll be using and what sound requirements they have, and we’ll take it from there. We can also speak directly to the artist, if that’s easier, just make sure to tell us how to contact them!
Can your equipment be set up for a rehearsal or run-through?
Yes. Let us know when you’re making a booking and we’ll pencil the run-through or rehearsal in. At Pete Pinnington Productions, we love rehearsal runs, they help guarantee that everything will go smoothly on the big day.
Can I provide my own visual presentation?
Of course you can. Just send it to our technicians and they’ll make sure it’s all formatted correctly and ready to go. Make sure to let us know you’re planning to do that, so we can leave enough time to check everything over and make sure it all looks good.
Can lighting be used to make the room match my brand colours?
Our services include lighting and one of the best uses for that lighting is to change the colour of a setting or venue to match your brand colours or fit the style of an event.
We can also project your brand logo onto the backdrop of your staging area or print it and display it during the event. How we do this depends on what sort of event you’re throwing and how much you need your brand and logo to be the focus of your audience’s attention.
Is your equipment suitable for outdoor events?
As each summer comes around and the weather gets nice again, outdoor events become increasingly popular. We’ll be happy to provide those events with all their audio and visual equipment needs, whether it’s a sporting event, a political event, a festival or a large outdoor gathering of any sort. Just give us a call and we’ll sort it out for you!
Can your technicians stay and operate the equipment during the event?
They absolutely can. If you need our technicians to help run the equipment at your event, just let us know. We can also advise if a technician will be required where appropriate while planning the event. If you’d be more comfortable with one there, just say. We’ll be happy to provide them.
