Local coverage
Serving New Orleans events
Abstract Productions runs New Orleans events week in, week out: conventions at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, galas in the Garden District, weddings in the Quarter and corporate meetings in CBD hotels. Gear rolls from our Hammond warehouse on an early truck so load-in hits your dock window, and the technician who preps the rack is the one who runs your show.

AV Rentals in New Orleans
Audio visual equipment rental in New Orleans covers a lot of ground: a wireless microphone and small PA for a Warehouse District board meeting, a line array and LED video wall for a Convention Center general session, uplighting and drapery for a Garden District wedding. We stock all of it, and we rent it as gear-only or as a fully staffed package.
Common New Orleans rentals include professional sound systems, wireless microphones, stage and uplighting, LED video walls, projection and screens, IMAG cameras, staging and risers, pipe and drape and custom scenic.
Event Production in New Orleans
Full event production means one team owns the room: pre-production and site visits, a gear list built from your run of show, show-calling on the day and a strike plan the venue signs off on. That matters most in New Orleans, where Convention Center dock windows, hotel union rules and Quarter street access all shape the schedule.
Delivery, Setup & On-Site Crew
Every New Orleans quote is itemized across gear, delivery and labor. Trucks leave Hammond early so load-in hits your window, the technician who prepped the rack runs the show, and the same crew returns for strike. Overnight installs are routine for ballroom general sessions that need the room ready before breakfast.
