Choosing a Reliable Agency for Live Events

Image4

When it comes to staging live events, finding a reliable crewing agency is of the utmost importance. We get it, the stakes are high, and the crew is responsible not only for the look and feel of your event but also for its success from a technical perspective. Every detail matters regardless of the event size, so whether it’s a large-scale concert or a corporate product launch, here’s what we suggest you look for in a crewing agency. It may save you some time and hassle!

Depth of Staging Experience
One of the first things to check is the agency’s history with staging events that match the scale and complexity of yours. An experienced team will already know how to manage the logistics and setups, and they’ll bring an understanding for troubleshooting and problem-solving.

Does the crew have experience handling lighting, sound, and staging design specific to your event type? At Alpha Crew, for example, we have a wide experience in the UK and European market, managing high-energy concerts, corporate presentations, and more, making us the go-to for reliable event staging solutions.

Commitment to Safety Standards and Training
Staging events can be physically demanding and require adherence to strict safety protocols. A responsible agency ensures safety by continuously training their team in the latest health and safety practices. The agency needs to make sure they’re not only qualified but stay updated on industry safety standards as this has a direct impact on the event organiser, and you don’t want any repercussions of a poorly trained staging team.

Meeting the Challenges of Live Events
Changes happen frequently with live events, it’s part of the gig. So when looking for a staging crew, look for a team known for their flexibility and ability to adjust quickly. You want crew members who can roll with last-minute changes while staying calm and professional so check testimonials and previous case studies that demonstrate this.

Technical Expertise and Problem-Solving Skills
A high-quality staging crew anticipates needs and is expected to think on their feet and problem-solve with ease. Issues can arise at any moment so having the technical capability and quick problem-solving skills is highly useful. When looking for a staging crew, the crew should be technically adept and proactive problem-solvers. Not to blow our own trumpet but at Alpha Crew we make sure we have a team of seasoned professionals who understand the finer points of AV, rigging, and set design, so they’re able to handle complex technical demands so that you don’t have to worry about the details.

Transparency and Value in Service
Cost is always a consideration, but what’s more important is value. Is the agency clear and transparent about its pricing, are they including any additional costs that may arise? A great crewing agency will outline its services and costs upfront, making sure it’s in line with your budget to avoid surprises.

Clear Communication
Efficient, proactive communication makes all the difference when timelines are tight. Look for an agency with a reputation for open, consistent communication throughout every phase of your event, from pre-event planning through to final breakdown. Look at the channels of communication and the check in points, how will you be informed of progress and who is in the chain of communication for you to discuss issues with. This may sound insignificant but communication is key.

Proven Reputation and Reliability
Referrals and reviews speak volumes in the events industry. Ask for testimonials from previous clients who can confirm the agency’s quality, reliability, and work ethic. Agencies with strong, positive feedback are more likely to deliver on their promises. Using a selection of testimonials will give you a good understanding of what the agency is like to work with as a whole.
