We're based in San Jose and work up the Peninsula regularly. Recent jobs include a community concert at the Leo J. Ryan Park amphitheater in Foster City, a wedding in San Mateo, a two-day corporate conference in Palo Alto, and a long run of weddings at Rengstorff House in Mountain View. We can bring the full production crew, or just drop off rentals if your team is handling setup.

Regional logistics and access
Peninsula jobs mean a drive up 101 or 280 from San Jose, so we schedule load-ins around commute traffic rather than hoping for a clear run. For multi-day conferences, we plan with the venue whether gear can stay set overnight or has to be struck and reset each day, since that changes crew hours.
Bayside parks and outdoor sites can get windy in the afternoon, which affects speaker placement, tents, and anything tall like lighting stands or screens. Historic houses and park venues usually have limited loading access and house power, so we confirm the load-in path and power before the day. For Shoreline-area venues in Mountain View, we also check the amphitheater schedule, since show nights back up traffic in the area.

Which option fits best?
The right fit depends on event size, venue or site conditions, available staffing, technical complexity, and how hands-on you want your team to be on event day.
Full-Service AV / Production
Best for concerts, conferences, and weddings where the timing has to hold and you want our crew running the show.
Hybrid Support
Best when you want delivery and setup handled, and someone on your side can run a simple system. Running it still takes some technical comfort.
Rentals Only
Best for straightforward events where you already know what you need and can set it up yourself. Usually the lowest-cost option.
NLPS also offers consulting and training for venues and schools that own and self-operate their AV equipment.
