Built for Company Events
Avalon Music has matched Houston events with live entertainment since 1993. For corporate clients that means the practical things are handled: Avalon carries liability insurance and provides certificates of insurance when a venue requires one, coordinates load-in and sound check with the venue, and gives you a single point of contact.
Performers can learn custom walk-on music or theme songs for awards and announcements, and many bands move from quiet dinner music to full dance sets in the same evening.
