Our Core Values
Local Integrity. National-Caliber Results.
We don’t chase trends — we set the standard. At MAV Event Services, we believe customer trust is earned every single day. That’s why our core values of Honor, Integrity, and Safety guide everything we do — from the way we train our team to how we serve our clients.
With thousands of events behind us, our reputation speaks for itself. But we’re not resting on it — we’re building on it.
Choose MAV. Choose excellence. Every time.
Our History
Idaho-Born. Idaho-Built. Idaho-Trusted.
Our story starts in the 1980s, forged in law enforcement and event management. Officially founded in 2009, MAV Event Services has grown into one of Idaho’s most respected event service providers — rooted in real experience and built by people who care.
We didn’t grow by cutting corners. We grew by exceeding expectations.
We’ve served this community for decades. We’d be honored to serve you next.
Our Team
Great People. Greater Results.
At MAV, we don’t just hire bodies — we build professionals. Our employees are not temps or gig workers. They’re W-2 Idaho-based professionals with full access to career development, training, and advancement.
We invest in our people — and it shows.
We promote from within — because loyalty matters.
We lead with purpose — and it drives every decision we make.
When our team shows up at your event, you’re getting professionals who care — because they live here, work here, and represent your brand as if it were their own.
Join the hundreds of event leaders who trust the MAV team to get it right the first time.
Mark Vucinich

Mark was hired by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1987. For the majority of his tenure with the LAPD, he worked a highly specialized anti-gang task force identified as "OWB CRASH."
He also worked patrol for the Los Angeles Raiders in the Los Angeles Coliseum, off-duty crowd control at various Hollywood movie sets, VIP and dignitary protection details, as well as fraternity parties at the University of Southern California.
In 1994, Mark was hired by the Boise Police Department, where he currently holds the rank of Police Detective within the Special Victims Unit.
In 1995, Mark began working in the field of crowd management for the Taco Bell Arena, the Ford Idaho Center, Qwest Arena, and the Western Idaho Fair, to name a few.
In 1999, he was offered the position of Director of Security for Events at Boise State University. The valuable experience he gained working in this capacity is what eventually led to the formation of MAV Event Services.
