AV Services in Chicago

AV with Style & Substance

Precision sound. Impactful visuals. Thoughtfully executed production that amplifies your event with intention and excellence. 

We’ve all been to events where the mic cuts out, the lighting’s off, or no one can hear the speaker - it throws off the whole vibe. AV issues can be stressful, especially when you’re already juggling a million details. 

That’s where Charizma comes in. We don’t just plug in gear - we show up, tune in, and make sure everything sounds and looks just right. You’ll feel supported from the first walkthrough to the final cue, with a team that’s got your back and gets vision. 


Big Moments Shouldn’t Feel Like Big Headaches

No muffled speeches or awkward mic moments here. We deliver crisp, balanced audio your guests can actually hear - from heartfelt vows to high-energy keynotes.

Crystal-Clear Sound, Every Time

Built Around Your Kind of Party

Lighting That Sets the Mood

From soft romantic glows to spotlight entrances, we create lighting that matches your moment. It’s not just about visibility - it’s about the energy of the room. 

You Host, We Handle the Rest

Screens, Projectors & Wow Moments

Whether it’s a photo slideshow, sponsor reel, or surprise video message, we’ll make sure it’s front and center - and flawless.

AV You Can Count On Powered By Charizma

- Katherine H. 

“Everyone at the party was so impressed with Walt (emcee) and Jimmy (DJ) - the dance floor was bumping, and I keep getting texts from parents saying the kids had an absolute blast! If you’re looking for an entertainment company that will go above and beyond to make your event extra memorable, this is the one.”

— L

“Charizma Entertainment makes my job as an event planner easy. When my clients ask what DJ to go with for their special event, it's a no-brainer. Marz keeps the dancefloor full all night long by keeping the vibe up and making everyone feel energized. He works with us to make sure everyone is having the time of their lives. I can honestly say Marz and his team are the best in the business.”

— Marlene P.
