AVIE Solutions

Event production.
Make your program work.

Sound, lighting, LED displays and show operation for competitions, showcases, galas, awards evenings and business events. Tell us what you are planning. We will help you build the technical production around it.

Your program.
Our technical focus.

AVIE Solutions plans, installs and operates the technical production for your event. We coordinate sound, lighting, video displays and show cues around your program, your venue and the people taking part.

You work directly with Ralph to establish the requirements, prepare the setup and coordinate the production on site. Our experience running dance competitions brings particular attention to music, timing, performer visibility and changes during a live program.

We run production for Fred Astaire Texas events, including Lone Star Dance Competition. That practical experience also informs how we plan for a studio showcase, an awards presentation or an evening with speakers and entertainment.

What your production can include.

Sound that serves the room

Clear announcements, music that reaches the audience and the inputs your presenters, MC or performers need. We plan loudspeaker placement, microphone use and playback connections around the room layout and program, then check levels and cues before the event.

Lighting for people and atmosphere

Floor and stage lighting helps the audience see the performance. Room lighting shapes the setting. We discuss entrances, presentations and changes in mood, then prepare the lighting looks and cues that fit your schedule and venue.

LED walls, screens & video

Give your audience a clear view of the information and visuals that support your event. We plan display placement, content formats, signal connections and playback for event branding, schedules, presentations and video. Recording and other video services are agreed as part of the production scope.

Show cues & on-site operation

A live program needs someone following what happens next. We work through the running order, coordinate with the organizer and venue, and operate the agreed audio, lighting and video setup. Setup time, technical checks, rehearsals where needed, and teardown are included in the planning.

Equipment selected
for your event.

Our event setups use JBL and Electro-Voice loudspeakers, Shure microphones, Yamaha audio mixing, ChamSys lighting control and ARTFOX LED displays.

We select and configure the equipment around your venue, program and audience, with setup and operation included in the agreed production scope. The proposal explains what is included, so you know how the setup supports your event.

How we plan it with you.

1. Understand the event

Start with your dates, venue, audience size and program. Share the floor plan and any existing AV equipment, plus the moments that need particular attention: a presentation, a performance, an entrance or an awards ceremony.

2. Agree a practical scope

We review the sound, lighting, displays, software and operation you need. Venue access, load-in time, power and available connections help determine the setup. Your quote sets out the agreed equipment and services.

3. Prepare & operate

We prepare the cues and content requirements, coordinate setup with the venue, and test the agreed systems. During the event, the production follows your running order and the changes coordinated with your event team.

Software that supports
the event team.

For dance events, Ready2Dance lets participants find their names, follow the current heat and see when they are up next. StageFlow supports the running order, recording and judging workflows. StageCall gives performers personal backstage prompts as the show progresses.

We agree which tools are useful for your event and how they fit the production. You can try sample workflows on each software page.

Practical questions

Can you work with our venue’s existing AV?

We review the available equipment, access, connections and venue requirements before proposing a setup. This establishes what can be used and what needs to be brought in.

How do you price an event?

The quote depends on the venue, event duration, equipment, crew and services. Send the dates, location and program so we can define a clear scope.

Do you handle smaller events?

Yes. We work on smaller studio events as well as large competitions. The production is sized to the space and the program.

Can we discuss an event outside dance or outside Texas?

Yes. Tell us about your event, where it will take place and the dates you have in mind. We will discuss the technical requirements, travel logistics and availability before proposing a scope.

Tell me what you’re planning.

Share your event date and venue, your studio plans, or the software you’d like to see. I’ll help you work out the setup.
