The Sound

You want the sound to be crystal clear for speeches, not too loud for guests so that they can easily converse, and at a full and dynamic level for dancing.

A Dance Band or a DJ will provide a sound system and it is included in the quoted rate. However, if your event is being held in a very large or acoustically challenging venue, we may recommend augmenting the sound with additional speakers with an on-site sound crew to tweak the sound board to produce the best overall sound.

In a very long ballroom, in a tent, or for a very large number of guests, satellite speakers on a delay system intermittently spaced will provide for intelligibility of speech for all attending at an even volume level.

For your Corporate Presentation, Awards Gala, Panel Discussion, Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, Auction, Political, Dedication or Retirement event, we will guarantee that all will be able to hear your company message perfectly. In addition to offering wireless handheld and wired microphones we also offer clear acrylic podiums with podium microphones and staging when needed.  If the media need an audio feed we can provide press multiple outputs.

For a wedding ceremony, you might want to consider a two speaker sound system with a wireless lavalier microphone for the officiant and a wireless handheld microphone on a microphone stand for any readers. Your guests won’t have to strain to hear your wedding, especially those who are sitting in the back row!

National Artists use our audio team and equipment because they know they will receive the sound that meets their exacting requirements. Over the years, we have provided sound for Artists such as Chicago, Chuck Berry, Kenny Rogers, Jennifer Holliday, Lee Greenwood, Jim Belushi & The Sacred Hearts Band and The Beach Boys to name a few.

Whether for an event for 100 or 2,500 people we will provide the perfect sound system for your event!

The Lighting

Many lighting options are available to help you decide what is the perfect lighting for your special event no matter whether the meeting, gala, party, panel discussion or wedding is located in Washington D.C., Maryland, or Virginia. We offer customized packages whether that is stage lighting for a dance band or panel discussion; show lighting for a National Act; DJ sound activated moving lights or intelligent lighting to add excitement for dancing; programmable wireless LED up lighting placed around the perimeter of the event space providing a warm wash on the walls, showcasing marble columns or highlighting an entranceway; or gobo lighting with your company or bridal logo displayed on a wall, ceiling or dance floor.
The rates for lighting will vary depending upon the design, amount required, when access to the venue is available, how much time is available for set up, and the number of crew members needed to set up lights, to name a few. Delivery, setup and strike is included with a technician on site as needed. Please contact us to receive a customized quote.

The Video

Whether for a corporate PowerPoint presentation, to display your company logo, to present a video with your message or to rotate photos at a wedding or birthday celebration, MSE Productions has what you need for all to see. Most popular are our 65” commercial grade monitors that are raised on adjustable stands. We offer larger screens as needed dependent upon the size of the room and number of guests. Included is delivery, setup and strike with our technician on site for the duration of our event to assist in production and to make sure that all proceeds on schedule as stated in the run of show.
