We spec each sound system rental around your room, your headcount and your run of show — then tune it on site with engineers who run these rooms every week. Add it to a full audio visual rental package, or rent the gear on its own. Offerings: Professional Sound Systems & Line Arrays; Wireless Handheld & Lavalier Microphones; Digital Mixing Consoles; Monitor Wedges & In-Ear Systems; Podium & Lectern Audio; Background Music & Distributed Sound Systems; Audio Recording & Playback; Press Feeds, Mult Boxes & Assisted Listening; Front-of-House Engineers & A2 Technicians. Q: Does Abstract Productions rent professional sound systems in New Orleans? A: Yes. Abstract Productions rents and operates professional sound systems in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, the Northshore and the greater Gulf South — from a single podium microphone to a full line array with delay fills. Call 504-837-1527 for a written quote. Q: Do you provide an audio engineer with the rental? A: Yes. You can rent audio equipment on its own, or add front-of-house engineers and A2 technicians who tune the professional sound system on site and run the show start to finish. Q: What size room can your professional sound systems cover? A: Packages scale from boardrooms of 20 people to ballroom general sessions of 1,000+ and outdoor festival stages, using line array, delay and distributed systems specified around the room and headcount. Q: How much does a professional sound system cost to rent? A: Professional sound system rental pricing depends on the room size, headcount, how many wireless channels you need, and whether you add an engineer. A compact boardroom or ceremony setup with a couple of microphones and a small PA is modest; a full ballroom line array with front-of-house and monitor engineers, delay fills and a digital console runs several thousand dollars. We build a written quote around your exact event, so call 504-837-1527 or start a quote and we will price the package that actually fits — never a padded line-item list. Q: What areas do you serve for sound system rental? A: We deliver and operate sound system rentals across the Gulf South, including New Orleans, Metairie, Hammond, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge. Our warehouse is in Hammond, LA, minutes from I-12 and I-55, so delivery is fast across the Northshore and the New Orleans metro.

We design and program packages that light your speakers cleanly for camera, wash your ballroom in brand color, and add movement and energy when the program calls for it — all hung, focused and operated by our own crew. Offerings: Stage Wash & Key Lighting for Camera; Intelligent & Moving Head Fixtures; LED Uplighting & Color Washes; Gobo & Custom Monogram Projection; Truss, Rigging & Lighting Support Structure; DMX Control Consoles & Programming; Pin Spots for Tables, Cakes & Centerpieces; Dance Floor, Effect & Atmospheric Lighting; Lighting Designers & Board Operators. Q: How much does it cost to rent event lighting in New Orleans? A: Lighting rental pricing depends on the room, the number of fixtures, and whether you add rigging and an on-site technician. An uplighting-only package for a wedding or gala is modest; a full stage wash with moving heads, truss, console and a board operator runs more. Call 504-837-1527 or start a quote and we will price the exact package in writing. Q: Do you deliver and set up uplighting, or is it DIY? A: We deliver, place, focus and program every uplight ourselves, and strike it after the event. Abstract Productions is a full-service lighting rental company, so there is no DIY pickup — a crew member makes sure the color and coverage are right before doors open. Q: Can you match the lighting to our wedding or brand colors? A: Yes. LED uplights and moving fixtures are programmed to your exact wedding palette or brand colors, and custom monogram gobos can project your names or logo on walls, floors or drape. Q: Do you provide a lighting technician or board operator with the rental? A: Yes. Full-service lighting quotes include design, programming and a board operator on site for the entire event, along with truss, rigging and a DMX control console. Lighting designers are available for custom looks. Q: What areas do you serve for lighting rental? A: We rent and operate event lighting across the greater Gulf South, including New Orleans, Metairie, Hammond, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge. Our shop is in Hammond, LA, minutes from I-12 and I-55, so delivery is fast across the Northshore and the New Orleans metro.

Offerings: LED Video Walls; Front & Rear Projection Screens with HD/4K Projectors; LCD Monitors, Confidence Monitors & Digital Signage; Multi-Camera IMAG Packages; Video Switching, Playback & Presentation Support; Live Streaming & Hybrid Event Encoding; Content Playback, Show Files & Media Servers; Teleprompters; Camera Operators, Video Engineers & Show Callers. Q: Does Abstract Productions rent LED video walls in New Orleans? A: Yes. Abstract Productions supplies LED video walls, projection, IMAG cameras, switching and live streaming for conferences, galas and general sessions throughout the Gulf South. Q: Can you live stream or record our event? A: Yes. We produce a clean program feed for streaming platforms and can record the session for on-demand use, including hybrid events with remote presenters. Q: Do you handle presenter slides and playback? A: Yes. A dedicated playback operator collects and tests decks in advance and handles last-minute changes so the show cuts cleanly. Q: How much does an LED video wall or projection package cost? A: Video pricing depends on wall size and pixel pitch, how many cameras you need and whether the program is streamed. A single projector and screen for a breakout is modest; a main-stage LED wall with switching, IMAG cameras and a video engineer runs several thousand dollars. Call 504-837-1527 for a written quote. Q: What areas do you serve for LED wall and video rental? A: We deliver and operate video packages in New Orleans, Metairie, Hammond, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge, and travel farther across the Gulf South for larger productions. Our warehouse is in Hammond, LA, off I-12 and I-55. Photo gallery: https://abstractproductions.net/gallery/video ### Staging — https://abstractproductions.net/services/staging A great show starts with a solid platform. We deliver, build and strike modular staging in any configuration — head tables, runways, choral risers, band platforms and full general session stages — with proper skirting, steps and rails so everything looks finished and stays safe. Offerings: Modular Stage Decks in Custom Configurations; Variable-Height Risers & Choral Risers; Runways, Catwalks & Truss Stages; Band Platforms & Drum Risers; Stage Steps, Handrails & ADA Ramps; Stage Skirting & Deck Carpet; Truss Structures & Ground Support; Podiums & Lecterns; Delivery, Installation, Strike & Load-Out. Q: Does Abstract Productions build stages for events? A: Yes. Abstract Productions builds decks, risers, runways, trusses, stairs and rails with skirting and safety rail, sized to your venue and delivered, installed and struck by our crew. Q: How fast can a stage be installed? A: Most ballroom stages are built in an overnight window, with pre-staged deck carts and a rehearsed crew so the room is ready before morning service. Q: Is setup and breakdown included in staging quotes? A: Yes. Full-service staging quotes include delivery, installation, on-site support and breakdown. Q: How much does stage rental cost in New Orleans? A: Staging pricing depends on the stage footprint, deck height, skirting and carpet, and whether steps, rails or ADA ramps are required. A small head-table platform is modest; a full general-session stage with truss and ground support runs more. Call 504-837-1527 for a written quote. Q: What areas do you serve for staging rental? A: We build stages in New Orleans, Metairie, Hammond, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge, plus the wider Gulf South. Trucks roll from our Hammond, LA warehouse near I-12 and I-55. Photo gallery: https://abstractproductions.net/gallery/staging ### Drapery — https://abstractproductions.net/services/drapery Drape defines a space. We use it to mask loading doors and storage, shorten a cavernous hall, create backstage and green room areas, and give your stage a clean backdrop that photographs beautifully — especially when paired with uplighting. Offerings: Pipe & Drape in Adjustable Heights; Stage Backdrops & Full Cycloramas; Room Dividers & Masking Drape; Trade Show Booth Drape; Entryways, Portals & Reveal Drapes; Sheer, Velour & Blackout Fabrics; Custom Color Selection to Match Branding; Uplit Drape Treatments; Professional Install & Strike. Q: Does Abstract Productions rent pipe and drape? A: Yes. Abstract Productions installs pipe and drape, room masking, backdrops and drape walls to divide halls, hide clutter and finish raw spaces anywhere in the Gulf South. Q: Can drape transform a warehouse or raw venue? A: Yes. Full-height drape masks perimeter walls, doors and utilities, and can create entry tunnels or separate lounges within one open hall. Q: What drape heights and colors are available? A: Standard heights run up to 16 feet, with additional colors and fabric weights available to match event branding. Q: How much does pipe and drape rental cost? A: Drapery pricing is driven by linear footage, drape height and fabric type, plus install and strike labor. A backdrop behind a head table is modest; masking the perimeter of a convention hall runs more. Call 504-837-1527 for a written quote. Q: What areas do you serve for drapery rental? A: We install pipe and drape in New Orleans, Metairie, Hammond, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge, and across the greater Gulf South. Our shop is in Hammond, LA, minutes from I-12 and I-55. Photo gallery: https://abstractproductions.net/gallery/drapery ### Scenic — https://abstractproductions.net/services/scenic Scenic is where your event stops looking rented and starts looking designed. We build and install stage sets, branded environments and decor elements that carry your identity from the front door all the way to the keynote backdrop. Offerings: Custom Stage Sets & Scenic Panels; Branded Backdrops & Step-and-Repeat Walls; Hard Set Walls, Portals & Header Pieces; Printed Graphics, Banners & Signage; Themed Decor & Event Environments; Furniture, Lounge & Soft Seating Vignettes; Fabric Sculptures & Scenic Textures; Design Renderings & Layout Drawings; On-Site Build, Install & Strike. Q: Does Abstract Productions build custom scenic sets? A: Yes. Abstract Productions designs and fabricates modular scenic sets, printed graphics, custom monograms and themed environments for keynote stages and galas across the Gulf South. Q: Can a set be reused at multiple events? A: Yes. Modular panels ship flat and rebuild in under a day, so the same branded set can travel between cities or seasons. Q: How early should scenic design start? A: Custom scenic works best with several weeks of lead time for design, approval and fabrication, though we regularly accommodate shorter timelines. Q: How much does custom scenic cost? A: Scenic pricing depends on the size of the build, whether panels are stock or custom fabricated, and how much printed graphic work is involved. Step-and-repeat walls are modest; a full custom keynote set is a larger investment. Call 504-837-1527 to talk through a build and get it in writing. Q: What areas do you serve for scenic and custom sets? A: We fabricate in Hammond, LA and install scenic for events in New Orleans, Metairie, Covington, Mandeville, Slidell and Baton Rouge, and travel across the Gulf South for larger productions. Photo gallery: https://abstractproductions.net/gallery/scenic ### LED Video Wall Rental — https://abstractproductions.net/services/led-video-wall-rental Indoor and outdoor LED video wall rental with rigging, processing, playback and on-site crew. Pixel pitches from 1.9mm to 4.8mm, 3,840Hz refresh for camera and streaming work, flown or ground-supported structure. Q: What size LED video wall do I need for my event? A: Size the wall to the room and the back row: a common rule is one foot of screen height for every 8 feet of viewing distance. Abstract Productions typically specs a 10'x6' wall for breakouts of up to 150 people, 16'x9' for ballroom general sessions, and 20'x11' or wider for audiences over 1,000. Q: What pixel pitch and refresh rate should an event LED wall have? A: Pixel pitch should tighten as viewers get closer — 1.9mm to 2.6mm for walls people stand near, 3.9mm for stage backdrops, and 4.8mm outdoors. For any event with cameras, streaming or IMAG, use panels running a 3,840Hz refresh rate so the wall records without banding or flicker. Q: Can you install an LED wall outdoors in Louisiana weather? A: Yes. Abstract Productions uses IP-rated outdoor panels with 5,000+ nits of brightness so content stays readable in daylight, plus weather-protected processing, ballasted or ground-supported structure and a wind plan for Gulf South conditions. Q: What power and cabling does an LED video wall require? A: Walls need dedicated 20A or 208V circuits sized to the panel count, with power and data run in a daisy chain from the processor. We supply distro, cable, ramps and redundant playback, and confirm the venue's available power during the site check before load-in. Q: How much lead time do you need to book an LED wall? A: Two to four weeks is comfortable for a standard indoor wall, and four to six weeks for large outdoor or custom builds that need rigging approval. We regularly turn around shorter timelines in New Orleans and the Gulf South — call 504-837-1527 to check availability for your date. Q: Is setup, operation and breakdown included? A: Yes. Quotes include delivery, rigging or ground support, processing, testing, an on-site technician for the show, and full breakdown. Playback operators, camera packages and content resizing can be added. ## Equipment rentals (per item) Index: https://abstractproductions.net/rentals Rate card: https://abstractproductions.net/pricing ### Wireless microphone rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/wireless-microphone-rental-new-orleans Rent wireless handheld and lavalier microphones in New Orleans. Coordinated frequencies, fresh batteries, delivery, setup and an on-site tech from Abstract Productions. Included: Receiver rack, antenna distribution and cabling; Handheld, lavalier or headworn transmitters; On-site frequency scan and coordination; Fresh batteries and labelled spares; Delivery, setup, line check and strike; Optional audio technician for the full program. Q: How many wireless microphones do I need for a panel discussion? A: Plan one microphone for the moderator, one lavalier per panelist for a recorded session, or one shared handheld per two panelists for an informal panel — plus at least one roaming handheld for audience questions. Abstract Productions coordinates every channel on one frequency plan so they can all be open at once without interference. Q: Will wireless microphones work in a New Orleans hotel ballroom? A: Yes. Downtown New Orleans hotels and the Convention Center are crowded RF environments, so our techs run a spectrum scan in the actual room before doors and rebuild the frequency plan around whatever else is on the air that day. That scan is included in every wireless microphone rental. Q: Do you supply batteries and a technician with the microphones? A: Fresh batteries for each show day and labelled spares are included in the rental. An on-site audio technician to line-check, mix and hand out microphones is optional — call 504-837-1527 and we will quote the channels with and without labor. Q: Can I rent just the microphones without a sound system? A: Yes. We rent wireless channels on their own into a house system or your own console, delivered to venues across New Orleans and the Gulf South with setup, line check and strike included. ### PA system rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/pa-system-rental-new-orleans Rent a PA system in New Orleans — powered speakers, subs, mixer, mics and cabling sized to your room. Delivery, setup and an on-site engineer from Abstract Productions. Included: Speakers, subs, stands and speaker processing; Mixer with the input count your program needs; Wired and wireless microphones as specified; Playback inputs, DI boxes and all cabling; Delivery, setup, tuning, line check and strike; Optional audio engineer for the run of show. Q: What size PA system do I need for 200 people? A: For roughly 200 guests in a typical New Orleans ballroom, Abstract Productions specs two powered tops on stands with a pair of subs, a digital mixer and two wireless channels. If there is a band or a dance floor we add monitors and more low end, and we confirm the layout against the room's dimensions before quoting. Q: Does a PA system rental include setup and an engineer? A: Delivery, setup, tuning, line check and strike are included in every PA system rental. An on-site audio engineer for the program is an optional line item — many receptions run fine without one, while general sessions and live bands almost always want one. Q: Can I rent a PA system for an outdoor event in New Orleans? A: Yes. Outdoor rentals get weather-protected covers, ballasted or staked speaker stands, and a power plan confirmed in advance, because outdoor sites rarely have the circuits a full system needs. We build a wind and rain contingency into the quote. Q: How far in advance should I book a PA system? A: Two to three weeks is comfortable for standard packages, and longer during Mardi Gras, festival season and conference weeks when inventory moves fast. Call 504-837-1527 to check availability for your date. ### Projector and screen rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/projector-and-screen-rental-new-orleans Projector rental in New Orleans — 5,000 to 20,000 lumen projectors, fast-fold screens, switching and cabling, with delivery, setup and an on-site technician. Included: Projector, lens and safety-rigged mount or cart; Screen, frame, surface and dress kit; Switcher, scaler and confidence feed if needed; Laptop adapters and the full cable run; Delivery, setup, focus, test slides and strike; Optional on-site video technician. Q: What size screen do I need for my room? A: Use the back-row rule: the screen height should be at least one eighth of the distance to the furthest viewer. For a New Orleans hotel ballroom with a 60-foot back row that means roughly a 7.5-foot-tall image, which is a 9' x 16' fast-fold. Abstract Productions sizes the screen and the projector together against your floor plan. Q: How many lumens does an event projector need? A: For a dimmed ballroom, 5,000 to 7,000 lumens covers most breakout screens. Ballroom general sessions with stage lighting typically need 10,000 lumens or more, and any image competing with daylight needs 20,000 lumens or an LED wall instead. Q: Can you rear-project so presenters do not walk through the beam? A: Yes, when the room has depth behind the screen. Rear projection keeps the stage clear and eliminates shadowing, and we bring the rear-capable surface and the throw calculations to confirm it fits before load-in. Q: Do you provide a technician to run slides? A: We can. Delivery, setup and testing are always included; adding a video technician to switch between presenters, cue video and handle laptop hand-offs is a separate line item and is worth it for any multi-presenter program. ### Uplighting rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/uplighting-rental-new-orleans Rent LED uplighting in New Orleans for weddings, galas and corporate events. Battery and wired uplights colour-matched to your palette, with delivery, setup and strike. Included: LED uplight fixtures in your colour; Battery or wired power as the room requires; Wireless DMX control and programming; Placement plan against your floor plan; Delivery, setup, focus and strike; Optional colour changes cued through the evening. Q: How much uplighting do I need for a wedding reception? A: For a typical New Orleans reception ballroom, Abstract Productions plans one LED uplight every 8 to 10 feet along the walls being lit, which is usually 16 to 24 fixtures. We work from your floor plan so the head table, cake table and dance floor get the emphasis. Q: Can uplights match my exact wedding or brand colour? A: Yes. Send a hex value, a Pantone reference or a fabric swatch and we program every fixture to the same value so the wash is consistent, rather than eyeballing the colour fixture by fixture on site. Q: Do uplights need to be plugged into the wall? A: Not necessarily. Battery uplights run 10 to 20 hours on a charge and leave no visible cable, which is why they work in historic venues and outdoor courtyards. Wired fixtures are used where cable can be hidden and the event runs long. Q: Can the colour change during the event? A: Yes. With wireless DMX we cue a warm, low wash for dinner and a saturated colour for the dance set, either on a timed cue or on your call. That programming is included when we operate the lighting. ### Stage rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/stage-rental-new-orleans Rent staging in New Orleans — modular 4' x 8' decks, adjustable risers, skirting, steps, rails and ADA ramps. Delivery, installation and strike by the Abstract crew. Included: Modular stage decks and adjustable legs; Skirting on all visible faces; Steps with handrails and guard rails where required; ADA ramp when the program needs accessible access; Delivery, installation, levelling and strike; Coordination with venue dock and load-in rules. Q: What size stage do I need for a keynote or awards program? A: A single presenter with a podium works on a 12' x 8' deck at 16 to 24 inches high. Awards programs that put several people on stage at once usually need 16' x 12' or larger so presenters and recipients can cross without crowding. Abstract Productions lays the deck plan out against your run of show. Q: Do you provide ADA ramps and handrails? A: Yes. We supply ADA-compliant ramps, stair units with handrails and guard rails, and we recommend them any time a stage is 24 inches or higher or the program includes award recipients coming up from the floor. Q: Can you install staging in a historic New Orleans venue? A: Yes. Modular decks carry in by hand and assemble in place, which is why they work in Quarter courtyards and older ballrooms with tight door widths and no freight access. We confirm access and floor protection with the venue before load-in. Q: Is delivery and setup included in a stage rental? A: Yes. Every staging quote includes delivery, assembly, levelling, skirting and strike. Overnight installs, union venues and difficult dock windows are quoted separately as labor because they change crew hours, not gear. ### Pipe and drape rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/pipe-and-drape-rental-new-orleans Rent pipe and drape in New Orleans for backdrops, room masking and trade show booths. Adjustable uprights, flame-retardant panels, delivery, installation and strike. Included: Uprights, bases and adjustable crossbars; Flame-retardant drape panels in your colour; Steaming and dressing on site; Layout drawn against your floor plan; Delivery, installation and strike; Optional lighting behind or onto the drape. Q: How much pipe and drape do I need for a stage backdrop? A: Measure the stage width and add four to eight feet so the drape runs past both edges, then choose a height of 12 to 16 feet for a camera-friendly backdrop. Abstract Productions quotes drape by linear foot against your floor plan and installs it in New Orleans venues with delivery and strike included. Q: Is your drape flame-retardant and venue-approved? A: Yes. All panels are flame-retardant fabric, which is what New Orleans venues and the Convention Center require, and we can provide the certificate for your venue's fire marshal paperwork on request. Q: Can drape be colour-matched to my event palette? A: Black and white are always in stock, and specific colours can be sourced with advance notice. Another route is sheer white voile lit with LED uplighting, which lets one drape package become any colour and change through the evening. Q: Do you install and remove the drape? A: Yes. Our crew delivers, installs, steams and dresses the drape, then strikes it at the end of the event. Overnight or early-morning strike windows are quoted as labor when a venue requires them. ### TV and monitor rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/tv-and-monitor-rental-new-orleans Rent flat-screen TVs and monitors in New Orleans — 43" to 98" displays on stands or carts, with source switching, cabling, delivery, setup and strike. Included: Display, stand or cart and dress kit; Power, HDMI and extension cable run; Laptop adapters and media player if needed; Content test before doors; Delivery, setup and strike; Optional technician for multi-screen builds. Q: What size TV should I rent for a trade show booth? A: A 55" to 65" display reads well from the aisle in a standard 10x10 or 10x20 booth. Step up to 75" or larger for an island booth or a back wall that has to be seen across the hall. Abstract Productions sizes the display to your booth plan before delivery. Q: Do you deliver and set up monitor rentals in New Orleans? A: Yes. Delivery, stand assembly, cable management, a content test and strike are included on every TV and monitor rental across New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Slidell, the Northshore and Baton Rouge. Q: Can I loop a video or slideshow on the screen without a laptop? A: Yes. We supply a looping media player — drop your MP4 or image set on a USB drive and the screen plays it unattended all day. Bring a laptop instead and we supply the adapters and the cable run. Q: Can you run several screens from one source? A: Yes. We distribute one source across multiple displays with splitters and extenders, or feed each screen its own content. Long runs across a ballroom use HDBaseT extenders so the picture holds up. ### Laptop and computer rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/laptop-and-computer-rental-new-orleans Rent laptops and computers in New Orleans for conferences, registration desks and training rooms — imaged, tested and delivered with monitors, carts and on-site support. Included: Imaged, labelled and tested machines; Power supplies, adapters and cable management; Monitors, keyboards, mice and locks on request; Delivery, placement and setup at the venue; Data wipe on return; Optional on-site technician for multi-day programs. Q: Can you load our software on the rental laptops? A: Yes. Send us your image or a list of applications and we build, test and label every machine before delivery so all units are identical on arrival. Allow a few extra days before load-in for larger imaged deployments. Q: How many laptops can you supply for a conference in New Orleans? A: We handle single show laptops through full registration and training-room deployments. Call 504-837-1527 with your quantity, dates and software list and we will confirm availability for your show week. Q: What happens to our data when the computers go back? A: Every returned machine is wiped before it is re-imaged for the next client. If your event needs a documented wipe, tell us on the quote and we will confirm the process in writing. Q: Do you rent a presentation laptop for the stage? A: Yes. Show machines go out in presentation mode with notifications and screen savers off, dual outputs configured for program and confidence, and your deck cued before doors. ### Projection mapping rental — https://abstractproductions.net/rentals/projection-mapping-rental-new-orleans Projection mapping rental in New Orleans — high-lumen projectors, blending and media servers to wrap content onto walls, facades, stages and custom scenic. Included: Projectors, lenses and rigging or towers; Media server, playback and cue programming; Warping, masking and edge blending on site; Content check and full rehearsal pass; Delivery, setup, operation and strike; Technician on site for the live program. Q: What does projection mapping cost in New Orleans? A: Cost is driven by surface size, projector count and content. A single-surface stage or table map is a small package; a building facade with blended projectors and custom content is a production. Call 504-837-1527 with the surface and dates and we will quote after a site survey. Q: Do you create the mapped content or do we supply it? A: Either. We can run content your designer delivers to our template, or scope a content build with the mapping package. Either way we supply the template, the surface measurements and a rehearsal pass before the show. Q: Can projection mapping work outdoors on a building? A: Yes, after dark. Outdoor facade mapping needs high-lumen projectors, weather protection, secure projector positions and power — all of which we confirm in the site survey before quoting. Q: How much setup time does a mapped show need? A: Plan at least a full day on site for a facade or scenic map: rigging and focus, then warping, masking and blending, then a rehearsal pass with the final content. Small single-surface maps can be set in a few hours. Per-item day rates are quoted on request; published package pricing for New Orleans appears on the rate card page. ## Frequently asked questions Q: What areas do you serve? A: We work throughout New Orleans, Baton Rouge, the Northshore and the greater Gulf South. If your event falls outside that footprint, call us — we travel for the right project. Q: Do you only rent equipment, or do you provide full production? A: Both. You can rent equipment on its own, or bring us in for full-service production with design, delivery, installation, on-site technicians and strike. Most clients land somewhere in between, and we scale the package to fit. Q: What types of events do you work? A: Corporate meetings and general sessions, galas and fundraisers, conferences and trade shows, concerts and festivals, hospital and healthcare events, university and school programs, worship services, weddings and private parties. Q: How far in advance should I book? A: Two to four weeks is comfortable for most events, and larger productions benefit from a couple of months of lead time. That said, we handle short-notice requests regularly — call us and we will tell you honestly what is available. Q: Can you help me figure out what equipment I actually need? A: Yes, and it is one of the most useful things we do. Tell us the venue, the headcount and what has to happen on stage, and we will spec a package that covers it without padding the invoice. Q: Is setup and breakdown included? A: For full-service production, yes — delivery, setup, on-site operation and breakdown are built into the quote. Equipment-only rentals can be picked up or delivered, and we will confirm exactly what is included before you sign. Q: How do I get a quote? A: Fill out the quote form on our contact page or call us at 504-837-1527. Share your date, venue and a short description of the event, and we will get you a clear written proposal. ## Venues we serve Venue directory: https://abstractproductions.net/venues - Ernest N.
