Audiovisual technology Aalsmeer

Audiovisual productions in Aalsmeer

Many people know Aalsmeer for its flower auction, but the municipality is also a place of water, club life and large halls. Between the Westeinderplassen lakes, the activity around the auction and the well-known studio locations, a broad range of events takes place. HuurAV works here from its home base on the Zeeburgerpad in Amsterdam and is usually on site within half an hour. We do not deliver ready-made packages from a web shop, but a production that suits the space, the programme and the audience. From the first assessment to the dismantling, we arrange lighting, sound, video and special effects, with technicians who operate everything on location.

Events that take place in Aalsmeer

The trade in flowers and plants draws visitors from home and abroad, which is why product presentations, client days and business gatherings are common here. Around the auction and on the business parks, kick-offs, anniversaries and staff evenings are held that call for well-managed technical direction. Aalsmeer also has a strong club life around water sports, rowing and music, which brings parties, members’ evenings and performances. On the edge of the village and in the residential areas, weddings and family celebrations are held where an atmospheric sound and lighting installation makes the evening.

Suitable venues in and around Aalsmeer

The area offers a wide variety of spaces. On the Westeinderplassen there are marinas, pavilions and island locations that lend themselves to weddings and summer parties, provided the setup is tailored to the water and the weather. In the village you will find club buildings, hospitality venues and halls for private evenings. On the business parks there are spacious halls and studio locations that serve as fair, presentation and event spaces, with the height to accommodate larger truss structures and screens. Outdoor locations in green surroundings are used too, which calls for a well-considered power plan and weatherproof equipment. We look ahead at the access route, the loading and unloading options and the power supply.

Frequently requested AV solutions

Most requests involve a combination of elements. For speech intelligibility and music we provide the sound, for atmosphere and styling the lighting, for presentations and image recording the video and for a festive highlight the special effects. These elements are rarely used in isolation; the way they work together determines how an evening or gathering comes across.

On the sound side we supply line array or compact speaker sets with wireless microphones and monitoring, matched to the acoustics of a hall, venue or outdoor location. For lighting we place atmospheric and spot lighting, uplighting along the walls and, where desired, moving lights on the stage or dance floor. Video involves large screens or projection, cameras for a livestream and image direction that switches neatly between presentations and video footage. Special effects such as low fog, confetti or sparkulars are used precisely at the moments that need to stand out, such as the opening of a dance floor or the exchange of vows. For gatherings with remote participants, we combine in-room technology with a livestream, so that online viewers follow the same images as the audience on site.

Accessibility and logistics

The connection between Amsterdam and Aalsmeer is straightforward. We load at the Zeeburgerpad and drive via the ring road and the A9 to the N201, taking rush hour and the flow of traffic around the auction into account in our planning. For locations on the Westeinderplassen we align the approach and the timing with the accessibility of jetties and small islands. On site, our technicians handle the complete setup, the cabling, the technical check and the operation during the event. Afterwards we dismantle everything again and leave the space tidy. You can find examples of earlier productions in our portfolio.

For business gatherings we combine this technology into a fully managed whole for corporate events and for presentations and conferences. When it comes to a festive occasion, we provide the technology for parties and corporate parties, and for a wedding day we help think through the complete styling of a wedding.
