About us

We are Vivedia, the UK’s market leader in audio visual services for ‘once in a lifetime events’ (weddings, funerals, citizenship ceremonies). We don’t simply follow the market, we’re an innovator and a disruptor. The work you do will have a positive impact on thousands of people daily and millions of people each year. We have a head office in Sheffield and a satellite office in London, but our customers are spread across the UK.

We’re not fans of all that corporate jargon you might hear from other businesses. We’re down to earth, we’re human and we’re passionate about putting our customers first (all companies say that, but we really do it).

Our friendly team of 170 are our most important customers. We care about having a positive, friendly, and engaging workplace, as that is the key to delivering great customer service. People love working here, and we have the independent survey results to prove it – we’re officially one of the ‘Best Companies’ in the UK to work for! It might be because of the flexibility we offer in terms of how and where we work, or the genuinely fun and supportive environment we’ve built in our dog-friendly office (complete with top of the range coffee machine), or the great service we deliver that gives them all such a buzz. We want you to bring your buzz to us too.

This is a business that is doing really well, but it goes beyond that; it’s about making absolutely sure things go right, first time, every time. This passion is driven from the top down by James, our MD (who hates titles and is just simply ‘James’) and the leadership team who make sure that brilliant customer service is at that heart of everything we do. When you meet us, you’ll see what we mean.

It’s so important that we are the right fit for each other, so we’ll share as much as you want to know about us while we’re getting to know you too
