Awards Night AV Hire Perth
Stage lighting, large screen projection, wireless microphones and two dedicated operators for Perth corporate awards nights, industry gala dinners and charity award ceremonies.
Last updated: 13 May 2026 by Enchant Entertainment
An awards night is the most technically demanding corporate event on the calendar. Part gala dinner, part live production, every transition visible to the whole room.
A Perth corporate awards night or gala dinner brings together an industry, a company or a cause for an evening that combines entertainment, recognition and brand experience. The AV has to carry the full weight of the program. Video packages need to play clean and loud at the right moment. The stage needs to look dramatic when a category is announced. The winner’s walkup needs music and lighting that match the prestige of the award. The MC needs to sound clear from every seat in the room.
An awards night lives in its transitions. The moment a winner is announced, the room should feel like it shifted. Lighting, sound and video all changing at once, in the same beat.
Two operators. Zero missed cues.
Enchant Entertainment delivers awards night AV across Perth. Our full production package includes two operators on the night: one dedicated to sound, music and video package playback, the other running lighting and stage visuals. Every cue is preprogrammed, every transition rehearsed during the bump in. The result is an awards night that feels like a produced event, not an improvised one.
Pricing is fixed by production scale. Standard package from $2,500, full production from $4,500. All packages include equipment, setup and a dedicated operator or team for the full evening.

Production gear for a night that lands
The equipment that makes every award announcement feel like an event, not an item on a list.
Moving Head Stage Lighting
LED moving heads focused on the stage and entrance. Preprogrammed scenes for dinner, video package playback and winner announcement. The lighting shift when a winner is revealed is one of the most impactful moments of any awards night.
LED Uplighting
Battery powered LED uplighting positioned around the room perimeter in brand or event colours. Sets the atmosphere from the moment guests enter. Can shift colour between dinner and awards segments to signal the change in program.
Large Screen and Projector
High lumen projector and fast-rise screen sized to your room. Displays nominee reels, sponsor logos, winner announcements and live camera feed. Wide format for modern event branding. HDMI and wireless inputs available.
Video Package Playback
Professional video playback from laptop or USB for nominee reels, sponsor videos, sizzle packages and winner announcement reveals. Our operator manages every video cue, holding on the last frame or fading to black exactly as the MC calls the winner.
Wireless Microphones
Lapel and handheld wireless mics for the MC, award presenters and acceptance speeches. Multiple simultaneous channels so mic handovers are instant. A second wireless on standby ensures no delay if a battery needs replacing.
Haze
Water based haze that makes moving head beams visible in the air during the awards segment. Used strategically rather than continuously. A haze burst as the winner is announced creates a production moment that photographs and films beautifully.
Why two operators makes the difference
An awards night with one operator is a juggling act. When the video package is playing, someone needs to watch the audio levels while also having the next lighting scene ready and the MC mic prepared for when the winner is called. One operator doing all three simultaneously will miss something. It might be a lighting cue a beat late. It might be the MC mic up before the video has finished. The audience will feel it even if they cannot name it.
With two operators, sound and vision are split. The sound operator manages the PA mix, MC mic, winner acceptance mic and music levels throughout the evening. The lighting and vision operator manages the stage lighting scenes, video package playback and screen content. Both are fully focused, which means every transition happens simultaneously and cleanly.
The moment a category is revealed, the video package fades, the stage lighting shifts, the winner’s walkup music starts and the MC mic is live. All at once. That is the standard that two operators deliver and that one operator cannot reliably maintain across a full evening of awards.

We treat every award like it matters.
Because to the person receiving it, it does. Our job is to make sure the moment lands the way it should.
Cue-by-Cue Preparation
We review your full running order before the event and build cue sheets for every video package, every lighting transition and every mic handover. Nothing improvised on the night. Every moment preprogrammed and tested during bump in.
Video Package Experience
We have played hundreds of video packages at Perth corporate events. We know how to cue a nominee reel, hold on a freeze frame and release the winner reveal at exactly the right moment. Timing is everything in awards production.
Lighting That Tells the Story
Lighting for awards nights is not about filling the room with colour. It is about programming specific looks for dinner, video playback, the announcement moment, the winner walkup and the transition back to dinner. Each state is distinct and meaningful.
Any Perth Venue
We have worked in hotel ballrooms, purpose-built event venues, rooftop spaces, waterfront locations and purpose-built exhibition halls across Perth. Every venue has its own rigging, power and infrastructure which we assess in advance.
One Point of Contact
From initial quote to post-event pack down, you deal with one person. No handoffs, no miscommunication between a sales team and the operator on the night. The person who quoted the job is the person who runs it.
Backup for Everything
A wireless mic dropping out when the CEO is mid-speech is not an option. We carry backup wireless systems, spare video cables and a backup laptop preloaded with all video packages to every awards night.
Awards night AV terms explained
Common production terms for corporate awards nights and gala dinners, explained without jargon.
Video package
A pre-produced video segment played during the awards ceremony. Nominee reels showing the finalists, sizzle packages for sponsors, winner announcement reveal videos and corporate brand films. Played from laptop or USB through the PA and projection screen.
Walkup music
The music that plays as a winner walks to the stage to receive their award. Usually fades in at the winner announcement and runs until the recipient reaches the microphone. Creates an emotional swell and gives the winner a moment that feels produced rather than administrative.
Gobo projection
Projecting a pattern, logo or text onto a wall or floor using a stencil inside a stage light. Custom gobos can project the event name, sponsor logo or award program branding onto a wall or the stage floor. Creates a branded visual without requiring a screen.
Cold spark fountain
A special effects device that produces sparkling fountains of light using titanium powder at low temperatures. Safe for indoor use, non-flammable and leaves no residue. A popular add-on for the announcement of a major award or the opening of the ceremony.
Uplighting
LED fixtures placed on the floor aimed up at walls and columns, bathing the room in colour. Battery powered uplights need no cables and can be placed anywhere in the venue. Set to brand colours they transform a standard hotel ballroom into a branded event environment from the moment guests enter.
Haze
A water based atmospheric effect that makes moving head light beams visible in the air. At an awards night, a burst of haze during a major announcement creates a cinematic visual effect that photographs and films exceptionally well. Non-irritating and safe for indoor use.
Cue sheet
A document listing every AV action in order during the event, with the trigger cue (MC line, video end, music cue) and the action required. Our operators work from a cue sheet built from your running order. Every transition is planned in advance rather than improvised on the night.
Bump in
The afternoon setup session before doors open. For awards nights, bump in includes rigging and focusing lights, testing every video package, confirming mic allocations with the MC and running through critical transitions. A thorough bump in is what separates a clean show from a reactive one.
