Event Production & AV Rental in Bowling Green, KY
Delivered Rental to Full Production — One Hour Up I-65 from Nashville
Bowling Green Is an Hour Away. That Changes Everything.
Bowling Green is Kentucky’s third-largest city and the one regional market we treat like an extension of Nashville. It is 65 miles up I-65 from our warehouse — close enough that a banquet PA, a projector package for a Sloan Convention Center breakout, or a full LED-wall general session all ride up on the same trucks, with the same crew, at close to our published Nashville pricing.
And the city has the calendar for it: Western Kentucky University and its 15,000-plus students, the Corvette assembly plant and the National Corvette Museum, Fruit of the Loom and Holley headquarters, Houchens, the Kentucky Transpark manufacturers, Med Center Health, and a downtown that has rebuilt itself around Fountain Square, SKyPAC, and the ballpark. Since 1995 we have produced the general sessions at Music City Center, the Gaylord, and Nashville’s convention hotels — and we bring that same standard an hour north.
Three Ways to Get AV in Bowling Green
Because the drive is short, Bowling Green gets every option we offer in Nashville — not just the big-show package.
- Delivered rental — we bring it, set it, test it, and pick it up: PA packages from $300, projector & screen packages from $400, uplighting, TVs, wireless mics
- Full production — LED video walls from $3,000 with an operator, line-array audio, intelligent lighting, staging and truss, IMAG and live streaming, a technical director and a show caller
- Will-call — pick up at our Nashville counter, an hour down I-65, for church and school tech teams, WKU organizations, and touring engineers who run their own show — how will-call works
Every option comes with the same owned inventory — Epson laser projectors, Shure wireless, LED wall panels, moving lights — and a real technician when the job calls for one.

Bowling Green AV — Common Questions
Does Nashville Audio Visual provide AV rental and event production in Bowling Green, KY?
Yes — and Bowling Green is our closest out-of-market city, about 65 miles and one hour north of our Nashville warehouse on I-65. That changes the math: unlike our farther markets, we serve Bowling Green for delivered rentals and mid-sized events as well as full productions. A PA and wireless mics for a banquet, a projector package for a conference, or a full general session with an LED wall and crew — all of it comes up I-65 on the same trucks.
What kinds of Bowling Green events do you handle?
Conferences and trade shows at the Sloan Convention Center, WKU events from commencement and donor dinners to student-organization programs, automotive reveals and dealer events around the National Corvette Museum and the Corvette assembly plant, annual meetings and sales kickoffs for Bowling Green's manufacturers and headquarters, galas and fundraisers, concerts and festivals at the ballpark or downtown, and weddings and private events that want real lighting and sound. If it needs a technician in the room, it is a fit.
How does pricing work for Bowling Green?
One itemized quote. Delivery and crew travel for Bowling Green is a short line item — an hour each way — so our published Nashville package pricing carries over closely: PA packages from $300, projector packages from $400, LED walls from $3,000 with an operator, staging quoted from your stage plot. Full productions get a single all-in number with gear, labor, and travel on one page.
Do you work at the Sloan Convention Center, WKU, and the Corvette Museum?
We are an independent production company, so we work in any Bowling Green venue the client books — the Sloan Convention Center and the Holiday Inn University Plaza attached to it, WKU's Downing Student Union, Diddle Arena, Van Meter Hall, Knicely Conference Center and the Augenstein Alumni Center, SKyPAC, the National Corvette Museum and its conference space, Bowling Green Ballpark, the Historic RailPark, Lost River Cave, area hotels, and outdoor sites. We advance each venue directly — dock access, power, rigging, house rules.
Can we pick up rental gear ourselves for a Bowling Green event?
Yes. Our will-call counter is in Nashville, about an hour down I-65 — school and church tech teams, WKU student organizations, and touring engineers pick up speakers, mics, projectors, and lighting and return them after the event. For anything that needs a technician or a real setup, delivered rental or full production usually makes more sense at this distance.
How far in advance should we book?
Because Bowling Green is close, single-day corporate events, banquets, and delivered rentals can often be booked with a week or two of notice, subject to inventory. Conference general sessions and multi-day events are better with four to six weeks so the venue advance is done properly. If your date is close, call — we will tell you honestly whether we can do it right.
Do you cover Franklin, Glasgow, Elizabethtown, and the rest of South-Central Kentucky?
Yes — Warren County and the surrounding region: Franklin, Glasgow, Scottsville, Russellville, Elizabethtown, and Hopkinsville are all within our delivery and production range on the same I-65 / US-31W corridor.
Can one AV partner cover our events in Nashville and Bowling Green?
That is one of the best reasons to call us. Organizations with offices, plants, or campuses on both sides of the state line get one production team, one point of contact, one look, and one standard — Nashville, Bowling Green, Huntsville, Birmingham, Chattanooga, Knoxville, or Memphis — without re-briefing a new vendor in every city.
