Centennial Homestead

AV Capabilities at Centennial Homestead

Centennial Homestead has recently upgraded its in house audio system, supporting events across the Wisteria Room, The Oak Room, and The Paddock.

Audio

The venue has four handheld microphones, allocated at their discretion depending on packages and concurrent bookings. Each space has its own PA system managed by the in house team, with the ability to synchronise audio across all three areas for whole venue hires, speeches, general music, or DJ and band integration. DJs can patch directly into the house PA via XLR connection.

If your event requires additional microphones such as lapels, lectern mics, panel setups, or multiple presenters, Connected Event Group can supplement the in house system with a mixer and additional microphones. This allows for greater control and multiple audio sources while still utilising the venue PA. An experienced audio operator would be included where required.

Vision

The venue has a projector and screen available, however it is dated. We generally recommend upgrading to an LCD screen for a more modern and polished result.

Live Bands

For live amplified bands, an additional subwoofer and external PA system is required, as the house system is not designed for amplified performance level music.

CEG is highly familiar with the venue systems and is always happy to guide you toward the best production solution for your event and budget.

Bespoke Av Design

Our premade packages are a great base when you’re not sure exactly what AV you need. They can be customised to meet your unique event requirements and provide a simple, cost-effective starting point for most event types.

However, not every event fits neatly into a package -  and that’s where our bespoke AV solutions come in. If you already have a clear vision or are planning something out of the ordinary, our in-house production team can help design and deliver a completely tailored setup that aligns perfectly with your goals.

From immersive stage designs and creative LED installations to custom content, lighting concepts, and interactive experiences, we take pride in crafting AV environments that elevate your event and reflect your brand identity. Whether you’re transforming a blank space, enhancing a heritage venue, or creating something entirely new, we’ll collaborate closely with you and your event partners to ensure every detail works seamlessly together.

Our bespoke approach means we can scale our services to suit any size or style of event - from intimate corporate gatherings to large-scale conferences and gala dinners - combining technical precision with creative flair to deliver an exceptional audience experience.

Suggested AV MUST-HAVES

  • Vision Switcher: If your event includes content such as presentations, holding slides and videos, foldback screens, or multiple screens, we recommend including conference switching equipment into your CEG quote. A vision switcher allows your AV Operator to smoothly transition between multiple forms of content, on multiple screens, with no disruption to your event audience’s visual experience.
  • Audio Operator: If you're considering hosting a panel discussion or anticipate multiple microphone inputs during your event, we strongly advise having a dedicated Audio Operator. Their role will be to manage these microphone inputs, minimize any audio feedback, and ensure a seamless experience for your audience.
  • Vision Operator: If your event has multiple screens, and /or  a variety of content such as presentations, videos, holding slides, a countdown timer and presenter notes on the foldback monitor, we strongly advise having a dedicated Vision Operator. They will run all onscreen content from the Ops Desk (but your presenter will control the pace with a clicker), ensuring that what’s seen on all venue screens is clear, as per your event schedule and that the content transitions are seamless.
