ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
MEGAN SEAGRAM
After graduating from George Mason University with a B.S. in Tourism & Events Management, Megan worked in the hospitality and tourism field for six years, steadily moving up within the workforce. In 2014, she co-founded Seagram's Systems, LLC, in partnership with her husband Ian, while still working full-time. In mid-2015, she took a leap of faith and decided to leave her job to become a full time partner at Seagram AV.
With her background in hotel management, administration and event planning, she and Ian realized that their skillsets, while completely different from one another, were very complementary and gave them a uniqueness that they hadn't found with any other company. Her passion for the events industry and her knack for administration made her the perfect partner to Ian's technical savvy. She understands the way planners think, she thinks several steps ahead, and always strives to provide a level of service far beyond what event planners have experienced in the past.
In Megan's spare time, she enjoys spending time with family, discipling the next generation, connecting with other women in business, traveling, petting every dog she can (especially her own), and eating tacos any chance she gets.
IAN SEAGRAM
Ian has been recognized as a fast-paced leader with impeccable attention to detail, who always provides exceptional customer service and caters to the individual needs of each client. His experience as the Lead Event Technology Operations Specialist in a 30,000 square foot event venue for several years gave him an in-depth understanding into audiovisual technology for events ranging from ten people to 2,000 people. As the sole Audio Visual Technician on property the majority of the time, Ian had to learn very quickly to pay attention to the little things, think ahead and manage his time efficiently in order to balance upwards of twelve event rooms at a time, while delivering flawless execution to each and every one.
Over the last decade, Ian has produced virtual events for 5,000 people, live streamed to countries around the world, and run events at larger venues including Main Street Station's Train Shed, the Greater Richmond Convention Center, Richmond Raceway Complex, Richmond Marriott Downtown, The Williamsburg Lodge, Innsbrook Pavilion, MacArthur Center Green, and Altria Theater, with crowds expanding into the thousands regularly.
In Ian's spare time, he enjoys spending time with the Lord, his family and his dog, as well as camping, fishing, kayaking spending time outdoors, or watching The Office (again).

From Professional Live Streaming and Hybrid Event Technology:
Your Source for High Quality Audiovisual Since 2014
Seagram's Systems Audiovisual was founded in 2014 in response to a need for high-quality, personalized audiovisual services run by people with knowledge and passion for not only event technology, but event planning and administration. Initially, our focus was on in-person conferences and galas, with some offering livestreaming options for their audience as well.
As the world has evolved, it has become increasingly common for large events to have an online presence for their audience. Seagram AV offers livestreaming for hybrid events, professional production of virtual events, event recording, custom event websites, and even virtual speaker preparation sessions or pre-recording sessions, using professional broadcast equipment to ensure that your virtual audience has the same experience as your in-person attendees.
With Ian's technical expertise and passion for livestreaming and audiovisual, and Megan's love for planning and organization, together they make the perfect team to provide a seamless experience for your event.

GRACIE
Gracie Lou was rescued from the Goochland Animal Shelter in July 2023 at just 7-weeks old. We were originally told she was a "Lab Mix" but have come to learn from her DNA test that there isn't a speck of Lab in her, though no one believes us! She is half Maremma Sheepdog, about 40% Pibble, and about 8% Beagle, which just means she's 100% the goodest girl! While she's still just a puppy and we are getting to know her, we know that she loves to sit on the back porch for hours (no matter the freezing temps), she loves (and demands) hugs from mom and dad, and she is usually mean-muggin if there is a camera around. We hope once she turns a year old that she may become a Dogs On Call therapy pup!
Will work for hugs and treats!

Megan & Ian are awesome!!! I'm a local venue event coordinator in downtown Richmond, VA and we recommend (and book) them for most all of our corporate clients. Seagram's gives a wonderful peace of mind to myself, our staff, and our clients. They are a professional team with everything our clients need, always setup on time, and always with a smile! I couldn't be happier with their service!
