ABOUT US

We know what it's like to be in the spotlight.

Since 1987, we’ve produced thousands of special events, corporate meetings, annual conferences, trade shows, banquets, and major conventions.  We put our experience to work every day with an attention to detail and support that you can rely on – providing set design, equipment rental, technical expertise, professional installation and award-winning presentations every single day.

Over 35 years of quality, service and community.

Building on a history of service in both the hospitality and AV industries, Tony Ramstetter and H. Steven Long created Prestige Audio Visual, Inc. in 1987. Eight years later, a family business emerged when Tony convinced his brother, Terry, to join Prestige as CEO, bringing his considerable energy, business skills, and resources to the company. With Tony’s knowledge of AV equipment and Terry’s business sense, the company rapidly grew into a best-in-class supplier in the communications industry. In 2006, Prestige acquired Encore Production Services, adding a wealth of experience in creative, stage design and video production, and became Prestige AV & Creative Services.

Today, Prestige has over 100 full-time professionals producing national and international live events and meetings for our clients. Prestige remains a family-oriented company, providing a wide variety of career opportunities in an environment that promotes client satisfaction by valuing the strong sense of pride and passion in our work, customer-centric attitude and an attention to detail from everyone on our team.  It's known as "The Prestige Way", and it's the difference between simply getting the job done and crafting exceptional performances.

As our company has prospered, we’ve discovered many ways to “give back” to our community. Prestige is deeply woven into the fabric of our city – we live and work here. Our purpose is to work globally and help locally. Prestige sponsorship ranges from discounts to full sponsorship of an event. Annually, we sponsor more than 150 events, donating well over $500,000 to groups such as:

    • Ronald McDonald House Charities
    • United Way
    • American Heart Association
    • Big Brothers Big Sisters
    • SPCA Cincinnati
    • Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
    • Crayons to Computers
    • People Working Cooperatively
    • Go Red For Women
    • Cincinnati Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired
    • Goodwill
    • Freestore Foodbank
    • Cincinnati Children's Hospital
    • The Reds Community Fund
    • Cincinnati Better Business Bureau
    • Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
    • Anthony Muñoz Foundation

We take pride in knowing our contributions help these organizations and the people they serve, enabling them to provide greater benefit to our community.

We also feel it is important to support and actively engage with national industry organizations and leaders to stay current with large event trends and technology.  To that end, we are proud to advocate and serve the following organizations.
