I recently worked with Jay and Sound and Video rentals for a small backyard party. Jay helped me…read moredecide that the basic AV system package would give me what I needed (2 speakers, 1 amp and 1 microphone that could be used via bluetooth or directly plugged into my laptop. 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.

I was hesitant to connect it all together, but they show you how to hook it up and use the entire system including connecting the pieces and what each knob does. I was a pretty good DJ that night. This is a great company that let's you pick up and drop off the equipment to their warehouse. That saves so much on delivery charges. The guys at this place are friendly and helpful. If you need an awesome sound system, this is the place to go. I am a return customer and it's because these guys are AWESOME and the system sounds really good. Our party was bumpin'!!!

They always gave us options and quotes promptly when we asked, even when it came down to the wire (Melissa and Michael Gilmore). The lighting and set decorations we rented from AMOS productions made the venue look so beautiful. Michael seems very familiar with most of the venues in the East Bay and gave us amazing suggestions to make the reception look good while still being attentive to our budget. DJ Kevin was our DJ for our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about DJ Kevin. From the get go, he was on top of EVERYTHING. During our meetings, he helped us organize and time our entire day (music, activities, timing, setting). It's very obvious that he has DJ'd a ton of weddings but he is completely attentive to your needs and tastes. Even when we made changes last minute, DJ kevin accommodated all of our needs and integrated everything. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect, he timed all the music perfectly and made the atmosphere so beautiful. He MC'd our ceremony so well, making all the guests feel comfortable and aware of activities/locations. DJ Kevin was very attentive to our taste in music and curated the MOST AMAZING dance floor. I thought I had a good idea of what i wanted, which he took into account, but mixed the songs SO perfectly and also added in absolute bangers in between. We had guests age 9-90 dancing all night. Everyone was so disappointed when the night had to end. If we had to do it all over again, we would work with DJ Kevin without a doubt. Thank you AMOS productions and thank you DJ Kevin for making our day as perfect as it was.

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

DJ Twin Spin scheduled a consultation months before our wedding and was very transparent with what to expect. He guided us through the process, and recommended that we utilize DJ TN who works for Twin Spin Entertainment based on our taste in music and vibe we were aiming for. Although Young gave us the option to use the boss himself, we decided to go with his recommendation as we were fully confident with his team. We then had a few more consultations with DJ TN as he walked us through the timeline, music selection, and MC services. The website had a lot of forms to fill out which helped us stay organized for items such as music playlists, bridal party/family names, and special dances etc. DJ TN helped us navigate through our timeline and coordinated with our photographer, videographer, and day of coordinator to ensure everything was seamless and naturally transitioned throughout the event. He also gave us great suggestions on bridal entrance ideas, and how to open the dance floor without making it feel awkward. During the ceremony, he had us mic'd up and the amplified audio was perfect without having any issues. The reception was no different, with excellent audio quality while also MC'ing to keep guests attentive while we were whisked away for photos. During open dance, the combination of high quality speakers, LED uplighting, and music selection really kept everyone engaged and ended the night on a positive note. We were so pleased with how the AV went and credit DJ TN and Twin Spin Entertainment.

My parents were very happy and all my friends loved DJ TN. I would recommend him to anyone. His MC skills were amazing and his ability to read the crowd and have fun were great. I am truly so happy with DJ TN and Twin Spin ent. My husband and I cared a lot on guest experience and having a great DJ/MC was worth every penny. All my friends said our wedding was one of the funnest they had been to and part of that credit does go to TN.

His team delivered with precision and far exceeded our expectations with both a large LED screen and several sets of speakers. Both the sound and visual were exactly what we were looking for. He came ahead of the event for a walk through and evaluated what would work best. Seeing the space, he recommended something that made more sense than what we had originally asked for. The sound was synced perfectly with no delay, even for those seated far from the screen. In fact, no matter where you were physically in the large space the sound was the same--unlike other concerts I've been too where the speakers either blow you away or aren't loud enough depending on where you are. It was loud enough to be immersive without being overpowering. I am in awe of how he did it! He was prepared with all the necessary cords and adapters to have a hard internet connection with WiFi as backup so there was no risk of glitches. I would definitely recommend Ya-Wave and will use them again for future events like this.

A week before the party they followed up with us, and then Tyler can promptly to my house for set up and also for clean up. The palm tree slide was a huge hit and the kids couldn't get enough of it!
