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.

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.

Thank you for responding but I'm not sure you get a clear picture of what happened. When I picked…read moreup the chairs, I did count and I was given 25 chairs. The problem was I actually took back 35 chairs and 10 chairs were not your companies. I was told in less than an hour, your company counted ALL of your inventory and did not have any extra chairs BEFORE I came and picked up the chairs that didn't belong to you. When I picked up the chairs they all fit in my trunk but bring back some had to sit up front. My problem was I probably should not have allowed others to help me load them and when I dropped them off I should not have allowed your staff to tell me "Im good" when he didn't bother to count them. So Mike you don't have to feel sorry for me. Lesson learned. This a WARNING for others to learn from my mistake of being too trusting of your staff.

If you are wedding planning; you want Tony on your team. My husband and I planned a Washington…read morewedding from Alaska during the COVID nightmare. Most of the communications with Tony was done via webcam since we weren't able to go back and forth to Washington. Tony was very responsive to everything and not only had plenty of ideas but he has the best ideas. If you pick him you unlock a world of possibilities for your ceremony and reception. Prior to having him I just thought I would pick a few songs, play the wedding quiz game and call it good. I was so wrong. Once I got to see his presentation ideas I knew we were in the best hands. There were multiple parts of our wedding that the guest had never seen before and moved them to tears, laughter and the best party opener after a year of masks and social distancing. He knows the right way to do everything in his lane and he pretty much becomes your day of coordinator, or their huge helper. He helped us with our floor plan and he always kept us informed on what was going to happen next. It felt like the wedding was a production. A Grammy winning production at that. The moment I realized we had made the best decision for our wedding by hiring Tony was as I was getting ready the day of. It was about three hours before the wedding and I was getting my hair done and just mentioned to my wedding party "Oh crap I hope Tony is able to set up and doesn't get lost or anything." My maid of honor said "umm... he's been here for a while and I am pretty sure he is all set up." He adds absolutely 0 stress the day of the wedding! Tony is very professional and his ultimate goal is to be there for you and your partner as well as keeping everyone involved and to have everyone leave at night saying "That DJ is my new best friend." I had so many comments after the weeding saying it was the best wedding they had been to. My Grandma and my friends are still commenting on how great Tony was. I can't say it enough: Pick Tony as your DJ and you will not regret it!

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!

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.
