From cozy end-of-year mixers to full-blown corporate galas, the right AV setup can transform a holiday party from “meh” to magical. At Techtonic Events, we’ve helped Fortune 500s, startups, and local legends host unforgettable holiday celebrations across Napa County. So, if you’re wondering which AV services will elevate your corporate holiday party, you’re in the right place.
Here’s our ultimate list so you’ll know exactly what to ask for when calling audio visual equipment companies Napa County and make your event sparkle like a well-lit tree.
1. Event Lighting: Set the Mood (and the Selfie Scene)
Let’s start with one of the most overlooked yet impactful elements, lighting. The right lighting design sets the tone for your entire event.
Must-Have Lighting Options
- Uplighting to accent walls and décor
- Intelligent moving lights for dance floors or dynamic presentations
- Custom gobo projections with your company logo or festive patterns
- Pin spotting to highlight centerpieces or awards tables
A seasoned AV team (like us!) will help you choose lighting that supports your venue and theme.
2. Crystal-Clear Sound: Because No One Likes Muffled Mariah
Nothing ruins a holiday speech, or a DJ set, like bad sound. Corporate holiday parties often involve multiple zones (cocktail area, dinner space, dance floor), so you’ll need a flexible, reliable multi-zone sound system.
Pro Sound Checklist
- Wireless microphones for speeches and toasts
- Speakers optimized for both speech and music
- Background music zones (cocktail hour, lounge, buffet line)
- On-site technician to handle transitions and levels in real-time
As one of the most trusted audio visual equipment companies in Napa County, Techtonic Events ensures you’re never caught with a dead mic or feedback squeal mid-toast.
3. Video Displays and Live Feed: Engage Your Guests (and Their Cameras)
Whether you’re playing a year-end highlight reel, broadcasting a CEO toast from another city, or running a photo slideshow, visual content helps keep attendees engaged.
AV Video Ideas
- Large-format screens or projectors for group viewing
- LED displays for slick modern aesthetics
- Live camera feed for keynote moments
- Countdown timers for raffles or prize draws
Want to run a hybrid celebration for remote staff? We’ve got the tech for that, too.
4. DJ or Live Entertainment Support
Your DJ or band is only as good as the AV setup supporting them. Techtonic Events offers entertainment rider support, that’s a fancy way of saying we provide everything performers need to deliver a killer show.
Performance Support Includes
- Soundboard mixing and dedicated techs
- Stage lighting with programmable scenes
- Backline gear (drum mics, DI boxes, monitors)
- Fog machines, confetti cannons, or sparkler FX (optional, but very fun)
Even if you book a DJ separately, make sure your AV team works with them seamlessly. (Psst… we have in-house DJs, too.)
5. Photo Booths & Social Media Walls: Capture the Fun
Your team works hard all year, so why not give them a chance to cut loose and capture the moment?
Popular Options
- Glam photo booth with instant printouts
- Digital props and branded overlays
- Hashtag-triggered social media wall displays
- Slow-motion or 360° video booths
We integrate AV tech into these experiences, ensuring perfect lighting, sound sync, and seamless display on your screens.
6. Stage Design & Scenic Backdrops
If you’re handing out awards, making announcements, or bringing in speakers, you’ll want your stage to look as good as it sounds.
Scenic Design Elements
- Stage risers with skirting
- Pipe and drape (perfect for dressing up bland venues)
- Holiday-themed set pieces and textures
- Branded banners and LED accent walls
Scenic elements help focus attention and create photo-friendly moments. Trust your AV team to handle logistics and load-in.
7. Live Streaming & Recording Services
Still have remote staff or want to archive the event for internal comms? We’ve got you.
Remote-Friendly AV Services
- Multi-camera live streaming with overlays
- Real-time remote audience Q&A integration
- Edited event recap video for post-party emails or socials
This is especially helpful for companies with multiple office locations or international teams.
8. On-Site AV Tech Support (Because Things Happen)
When things go wrong, having on-site AV tech support isn’t optional for a high-quality corporate event.
Your Tech Team Should Offer
- A dedicated AV lead tech
- Fast troubleshooting of equipment
- Flexible, friendly coordination with vendors and venue staff
- Real-time adjustments for lighting, sound, and video
At Techtonic Events, we believe the best AV support is the kind you barely notice, because it just works.
