What makes CMG different to other event suppliers?

CMG was established with one objective in mind: to raise the benchmark of special event production in Australia by creating an entirely new level of audience engagement. We do this through bespoke, design-focused solutions and premium equipment packages that unlock greater value for our clients and bring their wildest event ideas to life. Our passionate team of seasoned event professionals and talented technicians pride themselves on delivering unique event experiences that drive impact, participation and universal enjoyment, tailored directly to the individual objectives of the event.

Why is audio visual important?

Choosing an audio visual supplier is so much more than just booking speakers, microphones, screens and projectors. This single choice has the power to influence the overall success of your event or show. Your guests or audience will experience your event first-hand through all of their senses. Make sure your event is engaging from start to finish with high quality audio that makes for easy listening without distortion, vibrant lighting effects that demand attention, and subtle movements that maintain interest, as well as bright large-format screens or projection that clearly delivers your message.

Where are you located?

Our head office and primary warehouse is located in Wollongong (NSW), about an hour south of Sydney, however we also have two additional rental distribution centres in Sydney’s inner west in Petersham (NSW) and on the Gold Coast in Gaven (QLD) for more rapid response times and quick event set-up as required. Our project team can meet you on-site at your preferred event location or venue via appointment, or visit your office or place of work depending on your pre-event planning preferences.

What areas does CMG service in Australia?

CMG delivers events nationally through our large fleet of bright orange vans and trucks. Our core team of talented audio visual technicians, system engineers and event personnel regularly travel intestate outside of our primary warehouse and distribution centres in New South Wales and Queensland, to supply our leading inventory of premium equipment Australia-wide. We have event clients and production partners in just about every major city across the country.

How fast can you turn around an AV quote and complete the set-up?

CMG can usually complete an all-inclusive quote and event design proposal within 24-48 hours of receipt, and deliver the equipment, bump in and set-up the event the very next day (subject to quote acceptance and booking availability).

How can you create a high quality event while staying within my event budget?
