AV Production & Event Lighting in Washington DC, Maryland & Virginia
United Strings is a full-service AV production and event lighting company serving Washington DC, Virginia, and clients nationwide. From custom uplighting and crystal-clear sound to illuminated DJ setups, 360° photo booths, aerial drone coverage, and intelligent stage lighting, our in-house team designs and runs every technical element of your wedding, gala, or corporate event — so the production feels seamless and every moment looks and sounds its best.
Full-Service Event AV Production
As a single team handling lighting, sound, video, and live music, United Strings removes the coordination headaches of juggling multiple vendors — one point of contact, one production plan built around your event. Our audio engineers tune the room knowing exactly what our musicians and DJs will play, our lighting designers program every fixture to move with the music, and our video and photo teams frame each key moment as it happens. The result is a unified production, with no gaps between vendors, from the first note of the ceremony to the final shot on the dance floor.
Event Lighting & Sound Services in DC, MD & VA
United Strings offers a complete event AV production toolkit for weddings, galas, and corporate events across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our services include ambient LED uplighting in 50+ programmable colours, full-scale live sound production and system design for 50 to 1,000+ guests, and discreet ceremony sound amplification for vows, readings, and toasts. On the reception floor, our illuminated DJ facades, reception and stage lighting design, and intelligent moving-head fixtures transform any venue — while custom gobo and monogram projection add a personalized signature detail your guests remember.
Beyond lighting and sound, our production team handles TV and large-format projection for presentations and video tributes, aerial drone coverage for cinematic venue reveals, and professional in-studio recording for artists and bands. Every service is available on its own or bundled into a complete AV production package — one team, one quote, and zero vendor coordination, so every element of your event is designed, calibrated, and run in perfect sync.
360° Photo Booth Rental for Weddings & Events
Our 360° photo booth is the most talked-about entertainment addition for weddings, galas, and corporate events across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Guests step onto the platform while a rotating arm captures them from every angle in cinematic slow-motion HD, framed by studio-quality LED ring lighting so everyone looks their best. Every clip comes with custom overlays — your names, date, or company logo — and is delivered to guests' phones instantly, formatted and ready to share on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Stories. It's interactive entertainment that keeps the line going all night and puts your event in front of every guest's followers.
