🎉 750 followers! 🎉
A huge thank you to everyone who follows the JMW Events page. It’s pretty cool to see the page reach 750 people!
I realised there are probably quite a few of you who have followed along recently but might not actually know who’s behind JMW Events, so I thought it was time to re-introduce myself.
I’m James, and I’m the person behind JMW Events — a locally owned sound, lighting and AV business based here in Mid Canterbury.
My professional career in the events and entertainment industry began nearly 15 years ago, and over that time I’ve had the opportunity to work across all sorts of events and productions. What started with a passion for sound and a few bits of equipment has grown into JMW Events today.
These days you’ll find me doing everything from:
🎤 Sound & PA for events
🎭 Theatre productions & musicals
💡 Stage & event lighting
🎬 AV, screens & video
🏗️ Staging, truss & drape
📻 Wireless microphones & event communications
🎪 Outdoor & community events
🔧 And quite often, whatever strange problem needs fixing at an event!
One of the things I really enjoy about this industry is that no two events are the same. One week I might be mixing a theatre production, the next setting up a PA for an outdoor event, programming lights, installing equipment or spending hours running cables that somehow always seem to be longer than I thought! 😂
JMW Events has grown because of the support of local businesses, schools, theatre groups, community organisations, event organisers and individuals who have trusted me with their events — so thank you.
I’m looking forward to continuing to build the business, add more equipment and services, and hopefully help make plenty more events around Mid Canterbury sound and look fantastic.
And if you’re new here — welcome! 👋
If you’ve got an event coming up and need sound, lighting, AV or event equipment, feel free to get in touch. Even if you’re not sure exactly what you need, I’m always happy to have a chat and work it out with you.
Thanks again for 750! ❤️
