AV Rentals for Oakland Community and Private Events

Coordinate sound, screens and event presentation equipment for an Oakland community meeting, school program, fundraiser or reception. Start with the room layout and program, then choose the equipment and services you need.

Meetings, talks and school programs

Tell us how many people will speak at once and whether guests need an audience-question microphone. A panel, a single presenter and an awards program call for different microphone plans.

Browse audio rentals and projectors and screens, or start with the Corporate Presentation AV Package.

Receptions and multipurpose spaces

Use staging and pipe and drape to discuss presentation areas, backdrops or room separation. Share the desired width, height and purpose so the layout can be reviewed.

For a reception or celebration, lighting rentals can be planned alongside sound and guest seating.

Start with the facility’s equipment and access

For an Oakland recreation center, hall or school room, ask what sound equipment, screens and furniture are included. Confirm early access for equipment placement, cable routing and a microphone check.

If one space serves several purposes, send the schedule for each change. A seated presentation followed by a reception may need different microphone use, playback levels or furniture placement.

Oakland venue planning resource

The City of Oakland facility-rental guide lists venue types and the booking process. Discuss amplified sound and other event requirements with the facility team.

Plan indoor and outdoor areas separately

If your event uses a hall and an outdoor area, describe what guests need to hear or see in each location. Include distances between spaces, power access and whether equipment must move during the program.

For outdoor use, share ground conditions, the weather plan and the route from the delivery vehicle. Our Outdoor Event AV Package outlines the details needed.
