About Us
It’s nice to meet you! Welcome to the world of MQ, we’re so glad you’re here!
Our creative intuition comes from the years of experience throughout our entire team. Founded in 1990 & starting as “Granny’s Attic,” founder Mike Dorfner created an AV company from his love of music. In the 90’s we specialized in music production, but we’ve since evolved into the strong and well rounded company we are today.
From the beginning, our team has been committed to providing exceptional and creative audio, video, and lighting production to our clients. We believe that a big factor in our success is the relationship that we establish with our clients. We understand that your event is a big deal, and we’re here to bring your visions to life.
