Audiovisual Technology Laren

Audiovisual productions in Laren, Het Gooi

Laren has a reputation few other villages can match. The Brink with its centuries-old oaks, the dense concentration of galleries and studios and the renowned hospitality venues make this part of Het Gooi a place where taste and experience come first. That character shapes the occasions held here: an exhibition opening, a stylish networking reception or a private party for a select group. HuurAV works from its workshop on the Zeeburgerpad in Amsterdam and takes on the entire audiovisual side of a production in Laren, from the first site visit and technical design through to operation during the evening and a tidy dismantling. Our technicians stay on location, so there is always someone at the controls who knows the setup inside and out.

Occasions that suit Laren

The calendar in Laren leans heavily on art, connection and exclusivity. Vernissages and gallery openings call for understated styling in which the work stays central. Networking receptions and client evenings for entrepreneurs from Het Gooi like to combine a polished atmosphere with a clear word at the right moment. Private anniversaries, birthdays and exclusive parties are also held here, where the bar is set high. For the corporate audience we handle corporate events and, when there is a programme with speakers or a presentation, the technology for presentations and conferences. Festive evenings we bring to life as parties and corporate celebrations.

Suitable venues in and around the village

The spaces in Laren range from intimate to spacious. Galleries and studios offer a striking backdrop for an opening or reception, but call for careful handling of walls, art and limited room. The hospitality venues and restaurants around the Brink lend themselves to dinners and private parties, while stately villas and gardens along the leafy lanes make room for private celebrations. On the edge of the village, towards Blaricum and the A1, you find larger halls and event locations with power and logistics in abundance. For a gallery or a garden party we look ahead at access, the ground surface and the power supply, so that lighting and sound stand reliably even in a sensitive spot.

What we make possible technically

An evening in Laren almost always brings several disciplines together into a seamless whole.

• Sound: a discreet set for background music and speeches at a reception, or a full installation with wireless microphones and monitoring for a party or a booked DJ. See sound.
• Lighting: warm accent lighting that lets art, interior and garden speak, plus atmospheric and stage lighting that moves with the programme. View lighting.
• Video: large screens or projection and cameras with vision mixing for presentations, recordings and an aftermovie. More about video.
• Special effects: subtle haze, low fog or a sparkular for a festive highlight, focused and always tuned to a refined setting. See special effects.

If you want to involve guests or contacts remotely, we are glad to combine the technology in hybrid events and livestreams.

Travel, setup and teardown

The connection between our workshop and Laren is straightforward. From the Zeeburgerpad we drive into Het Gooi via the ring road and the A1, about twenty-eight kilometres. In our planning we account for rush hour and for the often narrow lanes and the limited space around the Brink and the galleries. On location our technicians handle the full setup and the cable runs, followed by a thorough test before the first guest arrives. During your evening a technician stays present to operate everything, and afterwards comes a neat and swift teardown, even when it falls late in the evening. You can find examples of earlier productions in our portfolio.
