AV Equipment Rental in Duluth, MN

Worth the read!! Google needs to allow longer reviews I could have kept going! All I can say is WOW! Our experience with Audio Visual Resources (AVR) was phenomenal! Things that come to mind when I think back of our experience is high quality, professional, and such a great memory we get to keep forever! Planning a wedding in a pandemic was not for the faint of heart. AVR stepped in and made it incredibly easy and stress free. They not only live streamed our wedding for the guests at home we couldn't invite but they created our own little personal TV show including all event highlights. Streamed live on YouTube so it was easy for everyone to just click a link, then beautifully and professionally edited it and put the final version back up so we always have it available privately or publicly on YouTube. They even helped us with wording on how to communicate with our guests on how to join. So even the least of technical savvy guests were able to figure it out with ease. From the start, Brita and Ben were very easy to work with. Communication with them was a breeze. They were knowledgeable, creative, kind, patient, and made a great team! They were able to include me as much as I wanted with technical aspects and how I wanted the event to go and where my comfort level allowed. Then without hesitation stepped in and took full control still giving me options to pick from to make it easy and making me still feel as if I was the director. They made it incredibly easy and fun! The wedding highlights were all back to back, in between we created commercials where Ben graciously assisted many of our guests submit prerecorded videos and was even able to provide tips on how to best capture those videos. Our guests made comments on how nice he was and how helpful he was to ensure they were submitted properly. These videos were so awesome to have and such a great personal touch, making us laugh, and even ugly cry with joy! Another commercial was a very simple powerpoint of photos I created. Ben was able to take my music from a spotify playlist I created and not only applied it to the slideshow, but also to the entire ceremony perfectly. The video footage was high quality with clear and absolutely beautiful images. They provided multiple cameras so they were able to show and move between many views very nicely capturing the feeling of actually being there in person, in fact, multiple guests even stated "It felt like we were there! Front row seats!" The audio was very precise hiding the fact that we were experiencing a beautiful windy day on the beautiful Lake Superior. The microphones were routed directly into the live stream as well as played on speakers in person so everyone was able hear. They were able to bring a microphone for every person for COVID purposes. Brita even had a microphone under her mask connected to a "fanny-pack" speaker so she was able to communicate with and coordinate the group of people in person clearly. Overall, the entire process was very professional and of high quality from start to finish. Our guests had fun and felt included on our special day. We are so grateful for the experience AVR was able to provide us! What makes it worth it was hearing our guests talk about how they were impressed with the quality and hearing comments like “That was the way to go, you guys did this right!” and "We were so happy to be able to still share this moment with you." Thank you so much to Brita, Ben, and team for making this so incredibly special for us. We 100% recommend Audio Visual Resources for anything you might need and look forward to working with them for all of our future needs. Photo is from when we watched our ceremony for the first time at home. So grateful to have these memories captured for a lifetime.

I reached out to AVR on an extremely last-minute basis for our company year-end party in Hibbing, and they exceeded every expectation. I worked directly with Andy during the planning phase to determine our technical needs and finalize the quote, and everything was communicated clearly and efficiently despite the tight timeline (quite literally 20 hours). On the day of the event, Brita (Owner) and Noah (Technician) executed flawlessly. I was absolutely floored by their talent, professionalism, and attention to detail. They arrived punctual, fully prepared, and incredibly knowledgeable, walking us through options and offering creative solutions I hadn’t even considered. Brita went above and beyond by bringing coordinating fabric to place behind the screen, which perfectly complemented the theme of the party. The audio quality was crystal clear, and Brita handled all presentations and video playback seamlessly, allowing the event to run smoothly without a single hiccup. Their calm, confident presence made a huge difference and took all technical stress off my plate. I would highly recommend AVR to anyone looking for top-tier audiovisual support—especially for high-stakes events where professionalism and execution truly matter.

The event professionals, you can't go wrong with AVR. Friendly, knowledgeable folks who love what they do and are very good at it.

Scott went through the details of what we needed for an event we participated in. We needed video to augment and interface with an existing sound board and projector. Scott met with us well in advance and at the venue to verify their equipment would be compatible. Our request involved taking audio from our sound board into their camera and taking video from their camera and making it switchable between camera and PowerPoint presentations to our projector. A secondary requirement was to record everything. The day of the event Gene at National Audio Visual did an incredible job on the camera. He is also knowledgeable on sound systems. We worked with Gene to get our audio levels set from an array of microphones. I would definitely recommend this business!

We used National Audio Visual for a tripod and wireless microphone rental for our wedding. Both products worked exactly as described. When we picked up the equipment the staff made a point to provide us with extra batteries and also thoroughly explained how to use everything. We had originally reserved two speakers with our order as well, but ended up using speakers from a relative instead. When we called to remove the speakers from our order they were very understanding and made the process very painless. We would highly recommend National Audio Visual for any equipment rental needs you might have.

I cannot say enough about this wonderful organization and I had the privilege of working with both Scott and Gene to fulfill an amazing audio and video project that they did with such brilliance, patience, expertise and caring... I highly recommend them!! ... And, I am especially grateful to Gene for his exceptional talent and vision helping me complete a video project, of special value to me both personally and professionally!!! .. They are absolutely AWESOME!! THANK YOU!!:) Sally Zelen
