AV Companies, Staging & Event Production in Toronto
Sound, lighting, staging, screens and technical crews
AV & Production by city
The audio visual companies in Toronto listed here supply everything between your content and your audience: sound systems, projectors and LED walls, staging, lighting and the technicians who run them. Corporate buyers book AV for conferences, town halls, AGMs, award shows and hybrid meetings — anywhere a failed microphone becomes everyone's memory of the event. Some providers are full event production companies that design and operate the whole show; others are rental houses for a projector, screen and PA you can run yourself. The GTA supply is deep: downtown production firms used to hotel ballrooms, and suburban shops in Markham, Mississauga and Vaughan that service corporate campuses. Venue choice matters here — hotels often have in-house AV with exclusivity clauses, while raw venues need everything brought in, including power. Get your AV quote at the same time as your venue quote, not after.
What to look for when booking
- Ask whether your venue has an exclusive or preferred in-house AV supplier — outside companies sometimes pay a facility fee.
- Confirm a technician is included for anything beyond a simple projector rental; dry-hire only works if your team can operate the gear.
- For hybrid events, check streaming experience: encoder, platform, dedicated bandwidth and a separate stream operator.
- Get load-in and load-out windows in writing along with the venue — union buildings and freight elevators change costs.
- Ask what redundancy is included for mission-critical moments: backup mics, spare projector or laptop, and battery power.
Typical pricing in the GTA
Providers on Corpevent.ca commonly quote per event: a basic projector, screen and PA package for a training day sits at the low end; a produced town hall with stage, lighting and operated sound in the middle; and multi-screen conferences or LED wall builds at the top. Labour — setup, operation and teardown — is often as large a line as the equipment. Prices vary with venue and schedule, so request quotes with your room details and run-of-show.
Always confirm current pricing directly with the provider.

Frequently asked questions
How much does AV cost for a corporate event in Toronto?
A self-run projector, screen and PA rental is the entry point; adding a technician, stage and lighting for a town hall lands mid-range; LED walls and multi-camera hybrid production cost several times more. Labour is a major share of any operated show. Send your room size, agenda and content needs for a firm quote.
Do we have to use the hotel's in-house AV company?
Not usually, but read your venue contract: many Toronto hotels have preferred suppliers and charge a facility or patch fee for outside AV. Sometimes in-house is genuinely simpler for a single meeting room; for produced events, an outside quote is almost always worth getting for comparison.
What does a hybrid meeting need beyond normal AV?
A camera (or two), an encoder and streaming operator, clean audio feeds into the stream, dedicated wired bandwidth, and someone managing the remote platform and Q&A. It's effectively a second small production running alongside the room — budget for it as such rather than as an add-on.
Can we rent AV equipment without technicians?
Yes — dry hire is common for projectors, screens, small PAs and conference phones, and several companies here offer delivery and pickup. The honest test: if nobody on your team has plugged in that exact setup before, pay for a tech. One hour of setup labour is cheaper than a stalled keynote.
How early should AV be booked?
For standard packages, two to four weeks is usually fine. For produced events — staging, lighting design, LED walls — involve the AV company six to eight weeks out, and before you finalize the venue if possible, so they can flag power, rigging and load-in problems while you can still negotiate.
