One festival gig stands out in particular. I rented a pair of speakers and everything worked flawlessly throughout the event. During load out one of the cables disappeared, which unfortunately can happen at festivals when things get hectic. Carlson Audio was very understanding about the situation and handled the replacement in a fair and reasonable way. It has always been a pleasure working with them and I would not hesitate to rent from them again.

Chair/table rental escaped my mindset as I had a lot on my plate planning a destination wedding in under 2 months! We came into the showroom needing rentals the next day! The staff made our experience seamless. Stephanie Boldt assisted us in choosing the right chairs for our event. I was impressed with the selection of items in the showroom, and customer service. Thank you for taking the stress out of our big day!

We were greeted by…read moresomeone at their desk, then after asking told "linens are over there, and hurricane glasses are over there." That's all. We didn't get asked what we kind of event, who we were, and we definitely didn't get any help with pricing. There were at least 3 gals there that could have done a lot more. It just seemed like no one wanted to make a sale or be helpful. It was over all just disappointing, so we left.

We truly can't say enough good things about Tony Schwartz as our wedding DJ. He was simply the best…read morewe could have hoped for--organized, efficient, and an absolute master of his craft. From the start, Tony took the time to understand our vision and our guests, helping us plan the perfect night. On the day of the wedding, Tony was professional, reliable, and absolutely nailed every detail. Everyone raved that it was the most fun dancing they'd ever experienced at a wedding. He kept everyone--from the young cousins to the older guests--on the dance floor all night, seamlessly blending timeless classics with modern hits and amazing remixes of both that kept everyone engaged, all while keeping our musical taste in mind. The energy never dipped once. He's by far the best wedding DJ we've ever experienced, and we wouldn't recommend anyone else to make your wedding an absolute blast. But Tony isn't just a DJ--he's an MC, and honestly, even part wedding planner. He came up with fantastic ideas to keep the evening flowing smoothly while still letting us stay in control of our creative vision. If you're deciding between a day-of coordinator or Tony, go with Tony. He handled every transition flawlessly--from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception--and his charismatic MC'ing elevated the entire vibe of the event. Everyone's vision is different, but after attending dozens of weddings and hearing from our guests, we've realized that if you're going to optimize one vendor, make it the DJ/MC. People may not remember the flowers or even the food, but they will remember the flow of the night, the energy, and the hours of music, dancing, and fun. From the bottom of our hearts--thank you, Tony, for making our wedding as fun, seamless, and memorable as possible!

Tony was an integral part of what my wife and I have over and over described as "the perfect day"…read more This was no surprise to us, as it was very apparent since our first meeting that Tony is a very detail-oriented person. He is directly responsible for helping us accomplish one of our biggest goals of the wedding, which was to have both sides of guests get to know us better as a couple. This was accomplished through a cocktail hour trivia game, a bride/groom game show type activity during dinner, and many other moments throughout the night where Tony saw fit. Tony's music selection was also top-notch and he seemed to play the perfect tracks all night to keep the dance party going. We can't say enough about Tony's performance for our wedding night and we are happy to give our highest recommendation to anyone considering hiring him for an event.

From start to finish, Clea was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so kind, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure the lighting perfectly fit my vision. She helped to offer creative ideas and provide inspiration. For the ceremony and dinner, we went with warm, soft lighting that created such a romantic and intimate atmosphere. When it came to the reception, Crimson Haze truly helped us transform the space into something magical--blue and purple party lights, disco balls, and a monogram projection that added the perfect touch of personalization. The lighting really set the mood and brought everything together in a way that was beyond what I could have imagined. I honestly believe that without the lighting, the entire event wouldn't have looked nearly as stunning. It truly made a difference in creating the perfect ambiance and taking our celebration to the next level. If you're looking for a team that's easy to work with, full of great ideas, and can make your vision come to life in a way that's breathtaking, I can't recommend Crimson Haze enough. Thank you, Clea, and the whole team, for helping make our wedding day unforgettable!

I had SO many ideas, changes, pricing requests, and nitty-gritty questions, and she was patient, helpful, and supportive through ALL of them. The end result was AMAZING. We sent photos to our friends who couldn't make the wedding and so many people commented with "that looks like such a great vibe". Lighting brought such a wonderful and fun element to our wedding. If it's in your budget to add creative touches, then you wont go wrong with Crimson Haze!

The ball pit, slide and soft blocks was all played with by the kids, even my one year old enjoyed himself immensely. Overall, Nicole and her team helped make my baby's birthday party a hit!

He was very professional…read moreduring all communications with him, very upfront about billing without any hidden fees, and provided flawless audio sound and clarity when we exchanged vows. There was a decibel limit at the wedding location and Matthew handled that limitation perfectly. He also did not hesitate to move his heavy equipment between floors so that the reception audio was handled just as professionally. He even willing stayed past the contracted hour without hesitation or complaining. I'm sure that he is a remarkable DJ; the only reason we did not have him "spinning records" is the decibel limitation. I would contract for his services again in a heartbeat; I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of audio setup and his professionalism.
