Events at Walt Disney Studios

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 Burbank lot at 500 S Buena Vista Street — D23 tours and branded premieres. Not a public rental hall. Confirm whether an outside vendor is even allowed.

Audio visual services

Audio Support

From compact speakers to full Line Array systems, Above the Line is here to help bring your event to life. CURV 500 columns in Huntington. Flown or truss-hung arrays for Breakwater.

Video Projection

Bright and detailed are the best words to describe our projection services. Laser projectors up to 30,000 lumens — enough to hold an image in Breakwater and on a terrace at dusk.

Lighting Design

Our lighting designers create looks that elevate every event. Chandelier uplight in Breakwater, stage wash in Huntington, terrace looks on the lawns.

LED Walls & Displays

Indoor and outdoor high-def LED panels customized to any size or shape. Cut to Breakwater’s 117-foot width or a compact Huntington stage wall.

Broadcast Quality Video

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 700-seat theater in Breakwater.

CAD and Layouts

Our staff will assist you with the floor plan using current CAD software. We draw the actual Waterfront floorplates — airwalls, terrace doors, chandelier drops — before the truck leaves our Southern California warehouse.

Hybrid and Online

Streaming systems and crew so remote attendees get a clean, clear program — the same show clock as the room on PCH.

Budget Assistance

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 Breakwater or on the lawn.

What sets Above the Line above the rest

Friendly Technicians

Equipment is important, but human behavior is even more crucial. Expert technicians dedicated to service and your success — including the Hilton banquet and AV staff in the building.

Local Warehouses

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.

Quality Inventory

We trust brands like VUE Systems, Shure, Barco, Avid, Yamaha, and Sony. Equipment is in perfect condition, regularly cleaned, and maintained.

We Travel for You

From the US and Canada to Mexico, India, Switzerland, and Brazil — and next door from Hyatt to Waterfront on PCH.

Customized Content

Walk-in graphics, PowerPoint assistance, post-event editing and upload. Content that belongs in an 8,400 square-foot oceanfront room.

Budget Minded

Detailed, itemized budgets. We assist in execution so every dollar on the BEO shows up on the floor.

Communication

Decades of creating, managing, and producing events of all sizes. Working with you every step of the way.

Detailed Proposals

Open, clear estimates that track every item and explain why it is on the plot. No hidden service charges.
