First off, Jay was the only company that responded to my online requests for assistance. He made it extremely easy to order what we needed. Day of, he showed up on-time and although it was just supposed to be a drop-off, he assisted our client/the homeowner with set-up and a brief tutorial. Not one glitch with the system. Even with the wind howling that day. I would recommend Jay and this company every time! Amber Willett, Simple Elegance Catering

This year, 2025, he provided sound for our 5th year Step anniversary for over 80 people. It was a easy process booking him. He was responsive right away, came and set up the equipment quickly, and picked up the equipment for us after the event, taking care of a huge and important aspect for our event. Sound was AMAZING! Loud enough for everyone to hear. Mics were nice and clear! System was in great condition and not hard to navigate! We appreciate Jay for always making it work for us even when it's last minute! This definitely won't be the last time we use him for our events in the future! Thank you Sound and Video Rentals! BAY AREA BOOK HIM NOW for your events!

The band has a huge following and it made us look really bad and also the Lafayette Art and Wine festival. The sound the audience was hearing was muffled and after listening to friends' posted videos of our show today - lead vocals were almost not there, keyboards blasting loud and no guitars. This is the most unprofessional sound company. They have no business doing sound for a big festival. Maybe a backyard party would be ok

My husband and I really wanted to incorporate paper lanterns into the lighting design and Lyle & his team were able to make it look even better than we imagined. Our venue imposed a lot of restrictions and rules on the set up process and I was worried that would make it too difficult to set up everything the way we wanted, but Lyle figured out creative ways to make it work perfectly! I would definitely recommend working with Desired Effect, not only do they have all the equipment you could possibly need to execute your vision, they also have the creativity and knowledge to help you elevate it!

Their…read moreequipment and technology was fantastic - printed pics onsite with logo and happy birthday message, and texted link to a site with all the photos. The line was non-stop all night and Ron went above and beyond with getting as many pics for people as possible. Huey was also great...he found great songs for groups to sing together and encouraged shy people to get their inner singer out. Post birthday speeches the line was non-stop and everyone had a blast in the room. They brought a great library of songs, lighting to activate the room and doorways and had all the right tech for full tv display. Two true pros, I can't recommend them enough!!

Absolutely hands down a 5 star service !!…read more We are from out of town and had our daughter's graduation nearby. The family we were planning everything with let us know at the last week they did not have any chairs / tables so we called Elegance - had everything booked the same day and the day before graduation they had tents, tables, chairs; tablecloths and a cooler all set up so we could decorate for the graduation party! They take care of set up and tear down so you can enjoy your day!
