Hire AV Technicians Directly — Built for Event Planners
You've booked the venue, designed the decor, and finalized the catering. Now you need a sound engineer, a lighting tech, and someone to run the projector. Booked AV connects event planners directly with freelance AV professionals.
Why Event Planners Struggle with AV
Event planners are experts at logistics, design, and client management — but AV is a different world. Knowing the difference between an A1 and an A2, or understanding why a 5,000-lumen projector won't work in a sun-drenched atrium, takes years of technical experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not technical — can I still use Booked AV?
Absolutely. Post what you need in plain language — 'sound system for 200-person gala' — and qualified techs will apply. You can message them directly to discuss details.
Can I hire one person to handle all the AV?
Yes. Post a GAV (General AV) role for events where one versatile technician can handle audio, projection, and basic lighting.
How do I know if a technician is good?
Every tech has a profile with skills, experience, certifications, and reviews from past clients. You can review everything before accepting an application.
What does it cost?
Signing up is free. A posting fee is charged upfront when you create a listing and is non-refundable whether or not the position is filled. A separate filled-position fee only applies if one is configured in platform settings and you accept a technician. You set the technician's pay rate.
Can event planners hire AV techs for destination events?
Yes. Post the gig in any U.S. city and hire local freelancers who know the venue and market — no need to fly your own crew.
