About

30 years of Seattle events.

I'm Reggie Tanaka. I started Northstar AV in 1994 with a 12-channel console and a borrowed PA. Thirty years later, we've run AV for more Seattle conferences, galas, and corporate events than I can count. The equipment has changed; the approach hasn't.

What we do well

Full-service event production: conference AV, staging, lighting, and event direction. PA, projection, mics, video switching, deck, truss, drape. For events up to 1000 attendees, we run the full production end-to-end. We've been house AV at Bell Harbor and the UW for years and know those spaces cold.

Galas and brand activations

For galas with theatrical depth — moving heads, washes, dramatic uplighting — we bring that production sensibility into the same crew and the same contract. One point of contact from kickoff through strike.
