I'm always skeptical of 1-star reviews, but I'm unfortunately not making any of this up. We hired…read moreHal for a relative's funeral. He got drunk on the job and crashed his truck at the venue. He refused to take a taxi home until the cops told him he'd be arrested if he tried to drive his truck away. He has not refunded our deposit. DO NOT HIRE. Things started off fine. The business owner and sole employee, Hal Rowland, showed up on time with the agreed equipment. He worked with me to set it up for the funeral. After making sure I was happy with the setup, he left (as agreed) for a few hours during the funeral. If the same Hal had then picked up his gear, all would have been well. In fact, he would have probably gotten some extra payment because the funeral ran long. Instead, Hal returned with alcohol on his breath, barely able to stand. We discovered this after he drove his truck over an obvious barrier/dropoff in the parking lot. While we waited for the tow truck, Hal said he'd had "a few" drinks but he'd driven "thousands of miles drunk and high" with no issues. This did not persuade us to let him drive off once his vehicle was dislodged. Hal wasn't happy about that. He got increasingly belligerent with my brothers-in-law, who repeatedly offered to call him a taxi as they kept him from falling over. He refused and challenged us to call the cops instead. Eventually we did. While we waited for them, he finally said he'd take a taxi. We called one. The police arrived, followed by the taxi. Hal got into the taxi and we loaded up his gear for him. It's a good thing the police stayed nearby because Hal evidently got the taxi driver to pull over by his truck. At this point the police told him to choose between taxi or jail. Hal chose the taxi, offering a baleful apology as he departed. A good half-dozen of us (mostly close relatives of the deceased) missed part of the service, the entire lunch, and a bunch of strike and setup that needed to happen for the next part of the day. And if someone had been walking through the parking lot at the wrong moment, Hal could have killed them. Four days later, we've received absolutely zero follow-up or communication from him as well as zero refund. (He said day-of that he would refund us, though I doubt he remembers it due to his inebriated state.) None of this is exaggerated or fabricated. I hope Hal gets the help he obviously needs, and I hope anyone reading this finds someone else for their event.

We had an excellent experience working with Verducci Events for the A/V at our community film…read morescreening of GOAT by Unanimous Media. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. They understood the stakes of a high-visibility screening and executed flawlessly--crisp sound, clean projection, and a seamless setup that allowed the audience to stay fully immersed in the film. What really stood out was their calm, solutions-oriented presence onsite. Live events always come with moving parts, and Verducci handled everything with ease and confidence, making our team feel fully supported. They were collaborative, respectful of the space, and clearly invested in the success of the event--not just the tech. If you're looking for an A/V partner who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly knows how to show up for community-centered and high-profile events alike, Verducci Events is it. We'd absolutely work with them again.

On behalf of the Skyline High School class of 74, thank you so much for being a big part of making the reunion a beautiful memory for all who attended!

Jay was flexible for my setup as I misread the delivery time, but we were able to sort it out and have the set up done a day early. I probably could have set it up myself, but I didn't want to have one extra thing to do for party setup. Jay let me know a time frame and then called me about an hour before his arrival. Jay was super great and friendly to work with and walked me through the usage of the system. The system was MORE than capable for what we needed, but was so great to have the option to increase the volume, or to only use one speaker as the day went on. Side note, Jay's favorite music is 80's freestyle, so have that ready when he tests the system! Jay came the next day around noon to disassemble the equipment and haul it out. I would definitely recommend Jay and Sound and Video Rentals as well as use them in the future.

The band has a huge following and it made us look really bad and also the Lafayette Art and Wine festival.

This is the most unprofessional sound company. They have no business doing sound for a big festival. Maybe a backyard party would be ok

After the site walkthrough our team was pinching ourselves at how lucky we were to get to work with Steve and his crew. He was thorough, personable and incredibly knowledge. At the event itself, Steve blew us away by not only his, warmth, graciousness and decades of knowhow, he generously educated us on the fine points of sound. Our Sound Engineer and Videographer came away with a master-course in troubleshooting complex remote devices (pic included). Brian, also from OAVS was a delight and ever-ready for all the exciting twists and turns the night held. This is the kind of company you don't see anymore. 3 generations of fellas, all truly lovely and at the cutting edge of their craft. We HIGHLY recommend Oakland Audio-Visual Services to anyone planning an event that wants to ensure a smooth and heartwarming experience!
