Top AV Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Event (And How to Avoid Them)

When planning an event in Dubai, most people focus on aesthetics, guest lists, or catering. But one crucial component is often overlooked until it’s too late: the AV setup. Poor audiovisual execution can disrupt flow, confuse guests, or even ruin brand perception.

At Avenue2, AV production isn’t an afterthought — it’s a pillar of the experience. Here’s a breakdown of the top AV mistakes that could derail your event, and how we make sure they never happen.

1. Underestimating Venue Acoustics

The Mistake: Assuming the venue’s built-in sound system will suffice.The Fix: We conduct AV walkthroughs at every venue and customize equipment based on layout, size, and expected noise levels.

2. No Backup Equipment

The Mistake: No plan B if a mic fails or a screen freezes.The Fix: Our AV setups include redundancies — from spare microphones to backup servers — ensuring zero disruptions.

3. DIY or Inexperienced Technicians

The Mistake: Relying on friends or underqualified staff to operate complex AV gear.The Fix: Avenue2 provides skilled AV technicians who manage everything from live mixing to seamless cue transitions.

4. Bad Lighting Choices

The Mistake: Overexposed spotlights, dim stages, or lighting that clashes with your decor.The Fix: We design lighting plans that enhance mood, photography, and visibility without overpowering your aesthetic.

5. Last-Minute AV Planning

The Mistake: Treating AV like a checklist item rather than an integrated part of the event.The Fix: We map your entire event timeline and embed AV strategy into every phase — from walk-ins to finales.
