honestly one of the BEST stores I've worked with. I rented two MarQ lights and the set of Swarm lights, along with two fog machines and two universal lighting stands. The equipment was high tech and SUPER useful. The prices for rental were honestly so worth it. As for service, they had such great service I can't stress this enough. EVERYONE I met who worked there was so nice and patient. I had some troubles with forms and they were willing to help me every step of the way. They explained the equipment very well and I definitely feel like they tried super hard to make sure everything went smoothly. They offered to make everything easier by setting things up for me earlier while I was picking up the equipment. They respond to emails and phone calls super quickly (I suggest if you email, also call them). I wish all companies were like this. As a high schooler planning a dance for the school, they treated me with the same amount of respect as any adult. I truly appreciate this. THANK YOU SAN JOSE AV RENTALS! read more

We realized we needed a mic/speaker less than a week before an outdoor family event. San Jose AV Rentals responded to my phone calls and helped me determine what equipment we would need for our event. Their online system and phone service were prompt, professional, friendly, and helpful. read more

San Jose AV Rentals is the best and easiest to work with. I was searching and searching for a rental source for an advertising awards event in March 2024. I made a call and they assisted with helping me decide on equipment based on needs. No nonsense. No unnecessary upselling. They set me up with a manager for instruction on equipment set-up. Clear and Concise. I picked up equipment on a Friday and dropped back of on Monday. I will not use any other company or service for any future AV needs as long as I have SJ AV Rentals. read more

I am beyond happy with my experience working with Kevin and the team at San Jose AV Rentals. Thanks to his help I was able to rent a complete AV setup for our week of wedding events, including the needed setup to stream our audio over Zoom to attendees online. We planned our wedding before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, but had to adapt to the new normal and move our event to a back yard. This meant two small outdoor events for a few in-person guests and a large number of guests participating over Zoom. I worked with Kevin to set up a system that included a wireless microphone, connected to a mixer, and pair of PA speakers to project audio to the local guests. Kevin provided a mixer with USB interface that I plugged into my Macbook Pro. We routed the microphone audio to a Zoom meeting so that online guests could hear! The USB interface also allowed us to play music from our computer for the wedding ceremony. Kevin helped coordinate a dry run with the mixer and Zoom meeting at the SJ AV office a couple weeks before the event, so that on the day of the wedding things were smooth sailing. read more

San Jose AV Rentals provided me with an amazing great experience from start to finish. Prior to using their services for rentals, I had called several times asking multiple questions/concerns/clarifications about their services and inventory for rentals. Very professional with their communication and also very friendly with a cool vibe. I needed some additional equipment for my set up/event as I decided to try them out as I was very pleased and satisfied with my overall experience. Everyone at San Jose AV Rentals are very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Before I rented out the equipment, they doubled checked to make sure everything was working properly as well as demonstrating on how to operate the equipment along with providing me with additional cables/cords. I would definitely utilize their services again for any upcoming events that requires to rent additional equipment as I highly recommend their company for all of your AV needs. Their customer service is A+ all the way.. read more

I had a last minute AV request on behalf of a client who needed some rentals within 48 hours and SH AV was not only very professional and responsive but they were incredibly helpful in making this request happen. They accommodated a delivery and pickup that was outside of their typical coverage area too! They were very affordable and I will definitely reach out with any future AV needs! read more

The service and support I got from San Jose AV Rentals is the highest caliber of service I have ever.. let me repeat that again, EVER, received from a store. Andrew Reclusado spent quality time showing me and my wedding DJ the rented equipment and never once came off as pompous or stuck-up to us noobs. More than a couple of the techs gathered around and were more than happy to answer all 75 questions we had. If you don't believe me, pick up your phone and call them right now and listen to how they answer the phone. DO IT! I'm not saying prank call them, like, don't just hang up right away - say 'Hello' cause you got manners and just see how welcoming they are when they answer the phone!! read more

I spoke with Tony and he was prompt enough to send me a quote. At the time of pick-up, they helped me load stuff in my car, gave a demo of how to connect speakers, microphones, and mixer.
