The Person Who Will Personally Make Sure Your Event Goes Right
25 years, one owner, every major venue in Nashville.
Bo Bankston
Owner, Nashville Visual
I started Nashville Visual about 25 years ago while I was in law school. Somewhere in there I fell in love with small business, and I chose it over a legal career. I have never regretted it.
I was born and raised in Nashville, and I have always lived here. This is my city, and I know it the way you only can when you have never left.
When you contact Nashville Visual directly, you are contacting a locally owned and operated Nashville business. You call, I answer, I quote your event, and my crew shows up to run it. You will never talk to a call center, and you will never wonder who is responsible for your show. That person is me.
When a show calls for it, we also partner with national AV companies. Those teams count on us as their trusted partner on the ground in Nashville, and the work is still run by the same local crew.
Our crew knows every loading dock in this city, because we have been through all of them. We walk the room before the show, not after, and check sightlines, power, and the small things that make a presenter look their best.
The way we work has not changed. I still answer my own phone and quote every event personally, and the crew I trust runs it on site.
From First Call to Final Tear-Down
Five steps. One accountable team. Every time.
-
1
Quote
You call and talk to the owner, not a sales rep. We ask about your room, your audience, and what you need to accomplish, then send a clear, straightforward quote.
-
2
Deliver
Nashville Visual loads the exact gear your event needs, tests it before it leaves the shop, and delivers it to the venue on time.

3
Set Up
Our setup crew places and tests every screen, cable, and mic before your doors open, checking sightlines, sound coverage, and backups.
-
4
Support
Our crew is on site during your event. If anything shifts, they handle it immediately, without a service ticket or a phone tree.

Live
The moment the room goes live, the tech disappears. Our crew stays through the show and handles the final tear-down, so your event ends as cleanly as it started.
The Rules We Work By
You get one phone number.
Bo's number. No call center, no account manager, no being transferred three times.
The room is walked before the show.
Our crew checks every venue before the first cable is run. We know where the loading dock is and where the power is not.
Nothing is rented that has not been tested.
Every piece of gear goes out clean, tested, and ready. If it has a history of problems, it stays home.
We are invisible when it goes right.
The best compliment we get is that nobody noticed the AV. That means you held the room.
What Planners Say After the Show
“Had a big conference in Nashville at Gaylord Opryland and called these guys after seeing the in-house AV rates at Opryland. Not only were they great to work with, but did it at half the cost!!! A+”
“We had a tradeshow in Nashville at the new Music City Center and had to have a few LED displays hung... great rates... much less than the convention center AV dept, and everything looked fabulous! Great guys to work with also!”
“Working with Bo was easy and efficient. He was dependable, on time, and exceeded all expectations. Worth every penny. Thank you, Bo!”
“I was in town from Houston, staying at a downtown hotel and needed some AV gear. Nashville Visual delivered and set up everything I needed at a much better price than what the hotel wanted to charge me. A+ and super easy to work with”
“Great to deal with”
“We hosted an internal company event at a hotel in Downtown Nashville and Nashville Visual provided our PA/audio setup. The entire experience was super smooth and a complete success. I appreciate the entire team for their professionalism, prompt communication, and reliability.”
