Bodrum Technical Event Production
Three suppliers means three people responsible. When something goes wrong, none of them is.
In short
For events in Bodrum I gather DJ, sound, lighting and technical coordination under a single plan. Instead of managing separate suppliers there is one running order, one setup schedule and one point of contact. On the day, the whole technical side is mine.
- Scope
- DJ, sound, lighting and technical coordination
- Plan
- One running order, one setup schedule
- Contact
- One person, reachable throughout the event
- Suits
- Weddings, corporate events, launches, private parties
- Not included
- Venue, catering, decor and guest management
The coordination gap is the most expensive line item
When sound comes from one company, lighting from another and the DJ from a third, nobody sees the whole picture. Setup times collide, the power line gets split twice and who runs which cable becomes a conversation on the day.
A single plan removes that. The setup order is written in advance, power distribution is calculated in one place, and on the day there is one person to ask about anything technical.
The running order comes before the technical plan
Production does not start with equipment, it starts with the programme. What happens at what hour, which moment needs silence, which one needs the lights down, and where the microphone comes from if there are speeches.
We write that flow first and the technical needs fall out of it. Nothing unnecessary gets rented and nothing necessary gets missed.
Sound, lighting and DJ under one technical plan
- Building the running order and putting times against it
- Gathering sound, lighting and DJ needs into one list
- The setup schedule and coordination with the venue
- Power and distribution planned from one place
- Transition plans for speeches, shows or live music
- Technical operation on the day and the strike afterwards
Corporate Event AV and Technical Production
A corporate night runs on a programme rather than a playlist. Speeches, presentations and award moments are timed, and the audio has to carry a spoken voice as cleanly as it carries music. That is a different specification from a party system.
For corporate events and conferences I supply and operate the AV side: speech and presentation audio, microphones, the stage lighting that keeps a speaker visible without washing out a screen, and the music that sits between the programme items. The sound system comes from our own inventory, so what is quoted is what arrives.
- Wired and wireless microphones for speakers and panels
- Presentation audio routed through the same system as the music
- Stage and lectern lighting planned around the screen
- Levels set for speech intelligibility, not only for music
- Cues and transitions between programme items
- A technician on the desk for the whole programme
The organisation of the event itself — venue, catering, decor and guest management — is not my side of it. I take the technical production and work alongside whoever runs the programme.
On-site technical support on the day
Most of what goes wrong at an event goes wrong during the event, not in the plan. A microphone that cuts out between two speeches, a laptop that will not hand over its audio, a level that was right at the sound check and wrong once the room filled.
The technical side runs under one lead for the whole programme. Setup, sound check before anyone arrives, operation through the night and the strike afterwards sit in a single scope rather than four handovers. If something needs deciding at eleven o'clock, there is somebody on site with the authority to decide it.
Where the night also needs music, the DJ sits inside the same plan: one running order, one contact, and nobody pointing at anybody else.
Frequently asked
We have an event planner, how do you work with them?
Easily. The planner runs the overall flow and I take the whole technical side. Coordination between us is set on a written running order before the day, so nothing gets argued about during it.
Do you handle staging, marquees and furniture?
No. My scope is music and technical infrastructure: DJ, sound, lighting and the coordination between them. Staging, decor and furniture are a different craft, and I work alongside the venue's or the planner's suppliers on that side.
What changes for corporate events?
Corporate events run on programme discipline. Speeches, presentations and award moments are timed. Music sits between them rather than in front of them. Microphones and presentation audio run through the same system.
Do you supply the sound and lighting yourself, or subcontract it?
The sound and lighting equipment is our own and it is run by our own crew. Nothing is passed to a third supplier, so the system that is quoted is the system that arrives, and the crew that rigs it is the crew on the desk during the event.
Can you cover the technical side of a conference?
Yes, the AV side of it: speech and presentation audio, microphones for speakers and panels, stage lighting and the cues between programme items. Organising the conference itself — the venue, the programme and the delegates — is a different job and not one I take.
How is the quote prepared?
We talk through the running order first, then the technical list comes out of it. The quote is itemised against that list. Nothing gets added later, because the list is settled before the event.
