How Far in Advance Should You Book Event AV?

By the JMG Audio team · 12 July 2026 · 3 min read

One of the simplest ways to guarantee a smooth event is to book your AV early. Equipment is finite, and popular dates get claimed fast. Here's a rough guide.

Weddings and big events

For weddings, milestone celebrations and large functions, book as soon as your date and venue are confirmed — often months ahead. Wedding season and December get very busy, and the best equipment is reserved first.

Conferences and corporate

For conferences and corporate events, a few weeks' notice lets us plan the right package and technician. For large or multi-day events, earlier is better so logistics are locked in.

Short-notice events

Life happens — funerals, last-minute functions. We do our best to accommodate short-notice bookings, though availability is tighter. The sooner you call, the more we can do.

The bottom line

If in doubt, ask early. Checking availability costs nothing and secures your date. Contact JMG Audio as soon as you have a date in mind.
