How long have you been in business?

AVP started as a DJ company in 1981 by founder Gary Gauldin, but it’s current incarnation was developed when Co-Owner Lee Dickinson joined forces with Gary in 2001. The company has since developed and grown to what it is today, a full-service live event production and studio facility. Lee’s education (Virginia Tech) and fresh ideas have played a key role in quality control and the direction of the company since 2015.

How big of a company is AVP?

Big enough to handle any event, yet small enough to give personal attention to every customer. We also have great relationships with many other production companies and have the opportunity to share their inventory to cover larger needs.

Do you own all the equipment used on the events?

99% Yes…but thanks to symbiotic relationships with many other production companies we can get anything nessary to equip every event. Two of our best resources are located in the same warehouse complex as AVP making cross rentals a breeze when needed.

While we are not currently hiring full-time staff, we do maintain a roster of part-time and subcontracted team members. Please send your information to sales@leed35.sg-host.com; Internship opportunities may be available for summer and semester work.
