Most of the DJs I know rent from EMI Audio, when they have gigs at venues that lack a sound system…read more So when a couple friends of mine asked me to MC their wedding at the Minnesota Zoo (which doesn't have a sound system), it was a no brainer as to where to go. The DJ I worked with (DJ Tyrone) suggested I ask for two hi packs (huge thigh-high 15'' speakers) with stands, and quarter inch cables. I called several days before to make the reservation. They just asked for my name, contact information, and credit card number. The next day, I picked them up. Below is the breakdown of the costs: -Speakers: $60 each. (You should get at least two.) -50 Ft Quarter-Inch Cables: $2 each. -Stands: $5 each. -Wireless Mic And Accessories: $37 Regarding their staff, they're very knowledgeable and friendly. They answered every question I had without any eye rolling or hesitation. The only thing EMI Audio could improve upon is getting better speaker stands. The speakers did not snuggly fit into the holes, and considering that they are worth almost up to a couple grand, they should rest on something a bit more secure. Other than that minor complaint, I would definitely use EMI Audio again in the future!

She was great to work with and very professional with all of the family photos. We really liked the way our night photos turned out as well. Our second shooter for our wedding day Billy, was great to work with! He was creative and made sure to help get every shot on my list. I am very disappointed with Bellagala. I filled out all of our artist forms on the website in detail. The artists were not able to view them, so it was very frustrating that I filled out all of those form details on the Bellagala site only to have to kind of go over them all again. It created more work for me and the artists. Bellagala worked with me to fix it but just said that everything was coming up fine on their end even though the problem persisted. They never offered a concrete solution to the problem and it was very frustrating and disappointing.
