Guy, the guy behind The Audio Guy, is reliable, helpful and knowledgeable. He came to the center to look at the sound system to ensure the microphones would connect well. It turned out I have a closed systemm and had to get an additional set of speakers along with the michrophones. I would have not learned that if he had not taken the time to understand my needs for the event. He was timely, reliable, solid setting it all up, training me on the basics and picking up the equipment on a timely manner. The microphones and the speakers worked well and all 115 people were able to engage. I had a great experience and could not recommended him more! Give him a call and he will figure out what you need and make it happen without a fuss.

He even came in on a Saturday (his dayoff) to help set up a room for us to look at all the different lighting colors, styles and patterns so we could decide what we liked best. We highly recommend Impact Lighting for your next event and make sure you talk to Jesse, he is your go-to guy! Thanks so much again - we can't stop looking at our pictures!

We needed to rent equipment for our out-of-town DJ, however I couldn't be less versed in how to make this happen - nor did I have the bandwidth to even try to learn. Bay Area Sound Systems came in knowing exactly what we needed, what to do, and provided the most efficient delivery, set-up, and break down. They didn't need a single thing from me on the wedding day (or the day after), which is THE ultimate gift any vendor could give a bride. Thank you, Nicholas!!

Did not pick up our phone calls the day of the scheduled arrival on a business day when they did not show up. Follow up conversation after the event was that we did not pay the deposit. We relooked at the contract, emails and their online policies, no mention of a deposit was required, asking for a credit card number or mention of collecting payment, we would have happily complied if that was asked of us. In fact, in their FAQ section there is a statement that a deposit was not required of rental reservations. In hindsight, we should have known when we reached out a week in advance to confirm and they did not reach out back to us. Luckily, we were saved by a DJ vendor we had hire annually for this annual event that had extra equipment to help us out. Truly disappointing and stressful to our group figuring out a no-show the night before our event.

This was for our nursery school silent auction, and Miguel made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. I even had the chance to tour his warehouse, which felt like a treasure trove of incredible pieces that helped inspire and shape the final look of the event. His team was professional, reliable, and easy to work with, and his pricing was very reasonable for the level of quality and impact he delivers. I would recommend him without hesitation and will absolutely be using him again for future events. Truly exceptional!
