Support for your hotel event is our priority. Our Southern California warehouse was sited to speed deliveries to top venues on the coast — including the Palos Verdes Grand, Marineland, and Catalina Ballrooms at Terranea Resort, 100 Terranea Way — the coastal-resort alternative when the program leaves Huntington Beach.
Sizes and capacities from the hotel’s published capacity chart. Production notes are how Above the Line typically outfits each space.
Largest indoor room on the bluff. 24-foot ceiling, foyer, Palos Verdes Terrace. Awards, general sessions, and seated dinners to about 1,000.
Wide LED and flown arrays in the Grand. Terrace doors stay in the plot so the ocean still reads.

High-nit LED so the doors can stay open. CURV 500 on the floor. Do not fly in this room.

From compact speakers to full Line Array systems, Above the Line is here to help bring your event to life. Point-source for Vista. Flown arrays for the Grand and Mariner’s.
Bright and detailed are the best words to describe our projection services. Laser projectors up to 30,000 lumens — enough to hold an image when the Huntington windows stay open.
Our lighting designers create looks that elevate every event. Coffer uplight in the Grand, beam texture in Mariner’s, discreet house looks in Vista.
Indoor and outdoor high-def LED panels customized to any size or shape. Cut to the Grand’s 187-foot width or a Huntington window wall.
Nothing brings the show closer to your clients like IMAG. Live talent on LED walls or projection screens, with jib or robotic cameras for a 2,200-seat theater.
Our staff will assist you with the floor plan using current CAD software. We draw the actual Hyatt floorplates — airwalls, terrace doors, chandelier drops — before the truck leaves.
Streaming systems and crew so remote attendees get a clean, clear program — the same show clock as the room on PCH.
Bring us in early for an itemized budget. Open, clear estimates — no hidden service charges — so the banquet event order matches what is actually in the room.
Equipment is important, but human behavior is even more crucial. Expert technicians dedicated to service and your success — including the hotel banquet and AV staff in the building.
The location of each of our warehouses was specifically chosen to speed up deliveries to top venues and other key accounts throughout Southern California. Support for your hotel event is our priority.
We trust brands like VUE Systems, Shure, Barco, Avid, Yamaha, and Sony. Equipment is in perfect condition, regularly cleaned, and maintained.
From the US and Canada to Mexico, India, Switzerland, and Brazil — and out the 110 to the bluff when the program leaves the beach cities.
Walk-in graphics, PowerPoint assistance, post-event editing and upload. Content that belongs in a 20,000 square-foot oceanfront room.
Detailed, itemized budgets. We assist in execution so every dollar on the BEO shows up on the floor.
Decades of creating, managing, and producing events of all sizes. Working with you every step of the way.
Open, clear estimates that track every item and explain why it is on the plot. No hidden service charges.
