| A/V Technician Hourly Rates | The hourly rate for an audio/visual technician varies depending upon the location and time of day of your event. Regular rates apply between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Overtime rates apply for all other days and times. At least 1/2 hour of time is added to the beginning and end times of every event where a technician will be required to setup or stay on site. This allows time for the technician to setup and test equipment before hand and break down and store equipment afterward. For example: If you have an event that will go from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM, the technician will typically arrive at 7:30 and be scheduled until 5:30. | Call For Price Quote |
