PCG delivers exactly that — with CTS-certified technicians and the gear to match any NYC venue's scale.

Why National Companies Choose PCG for NYC Events
New York City hotel in-house AV is famously expensive. Many event planners do not realize they can bring in independent AV companies — and those who do save significantly while upgrading their production quality:
NYC Hotel AV Savings
NYC hotel in-house AV typically commands the highest rates in the country. Independent AV companies save corporations and associations 35 to 55 percent on comparable setups. PCG regularly replaces hotel AV at Midtown Manhattan properties.
Unique Venue Expertise
NYC rooftops, lofts, museums, and historic buildings are stunning event spaces — but they present real AV challenges. PCG's team has the rigging, cabling, and wireless frequency coordination skills that unique NYC venues demand.
Broadcast-Quality Production
NYC events often have media coverage, livestream audiences, and high-profile speakers. PCG delivers broadcast-quality multi-camera production, teleprompter integration, and media mult-box feeds for press events.

We have experience with NYC venues from the Javits Center to boutique Midtown hotel ballrooms. Travel and logistics costs are included in our project proposals.
Can we use PCG instead of the hotel in-house AV company in New York?
In most cases, yes. New York City hotel AV contracts typically allow clients to bring independent AV companies for certain services. PCG handles all vendor compliance paperwork with the hotel and coordinates loading dock scheduling, union labor coordination (where required), and rigging permits. NYC hotel AV savings with PCG typically range from 35 to 55 percent.
Do NYC venues require union labor for AV?
Some NYC venues and hotels have union labor requirements for certain tasks such as rigging, electrical hookup, and freight handling. PCG is experienced with NYC union jurisdiction rules and coordinates accordingly, ensuring your event complies with all venue labor requirements while keeping PCG technicians running your AV production.
Can you provide AV for a unique NYC venue like a rooftop, museum, or loft?
Yes. Non-traditional NYC venues are a PCG specialty. We bring all necessary power distribution, cabling, wireless systems, and rigging solutions to make any NYC space perform like a dedicated event venue.
