Professional award show production, awards ceremony AV hire and technical event support for corporate awards, industry dinners, charity awards and recognition events across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Central Scotland and beyond.
McKenna Live Events helps event organisers create awards nights that look polished, sound clear and run properly.
We supply and operate the key production elements your ceremony needs, including sound, microphones, screens, projection, LED displays, lighting, staging, lecterns, presentation playback, live camera feeds, teleprompter support and an experienced technical crew.
Whether you are planning a staff awards night, business awards ceremony, charity gala, sports club dinner, or large corporate celebration, we can help you build the right production package for your venue, audience, running order, and budget.
Awards ceremonies are unforgiving live events.
Names need to be heard. Winners need to reach the stage at the right time. Walk-up music, video stings, sponsor slides, voiceovers, microphones and lighting cues all need to happen smoothly.
That is where professional production matters.
McKenna Live Events brings the technical side together under one roof, so you are not trying to manage separate sound, lighting, screen, staging and crew suppliers on the night.
We help with the planning before the event, then supply and operate the equipment on the day so your host, speakers, winners and guests can focus on the celebration.
We can support a single part of your awards night or manage the full technical production.
Our award show services include:
We regularly support professional events where the details matter.
Our awards production is suitable for:
The scale can vary from a simple awards dinner with microphones, screen and lighting, through to a larger production with staging, multiple screens, live cameras, technical crew and full show control.
If your awards night is part of a wider event, we can also support related gala dinner production, conference AV production and broader event production requirements.
Awards nights need more than boxes of AV equipment.
They need someone who understands timing, presentation, audience attention and live event pressure.
McKenna Live Events combines AV hire, event production and live presentation experience. That means we can think beyond the equipment list and help you avoid the common problems that damage awards ceremonies: poor sound, unreadable screens, awkward stage movement, missed cues, messy handovers and confused presenters.
We explain the technical plan in plain English, help you understand what is needed, and keep the production realistic for your venue and budget.

You do not need to know every technical detail before contacting us. If you know what you are trying to achieve, we can help shape the right production package.
Awards night production costs depend on the venue, audience size, equipment required, access times, rehearsal needs and number of technicians.
As a guide, smaller awards ceremonies can sometimes be delivered from just over £1,500.
Many professional awards night productions sit around £3,000-£5,000, especially where sound, screens, lighting, staging and crew are all required.
Larger productions with more complex staging, LED screens, live cameras, show calling, extended crew and additional production support can cost significantly more.
If your total budget is below £1,500, McKenna Live Events is unlikely to be the right fit for full awards production. If you are unsure, send us the details and we will tell you honestly what is realistic.
We provide award show production and awards ceremony AV hire across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Stirling, Livingston, Paisley and wider Central Scotland.

This experience helps us plan for the practical details that affect awards nights, including access, staging, sightlines, sound coverage, screen visibility, lighting positions and turnaround times.
We also support events across Scotland where the project, venue and budget are the right fit.
Recent and relevant venue experience includes events at venues such as DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central, voco Grand Central Glasgow, The Caledonian Edinburgh, the National Museum of Scotland and Glasgow City Chambers.
If you are planning an awards night, send us the date, venue, guest numbers and a rough idea of what you need.
