I’m the fiddler for Highland Reign, and we just finished performing several sets over this past weekend at the Minnesota Scottish Fair. “AV For You” did the sound for us, and WOW!!! Kyle was in charge, with help from Sean, and the two of them did an A+++ job! We play at festivals and venues all over the country, and I don’t know if we’ve EVER had a better gig from an AV standpoint. Kyle was able to help us get set up and went through our sound checks in a matter of minutes. There wasn’t a SINGLE incident or hiccup, there was zero feedback across all four of our sets (along with all the other bands), and he (along with some help from Sean) was super great about catching even the most subtle cues during the show when we needed more or less of anything in our monitors.
Not only did the music sound good through our monitors, but it also sounded good in the house! There were a variety of bands and instruments (a brass ensemble, a harp, a Chinese erhu, bagpipes, etc.), and he knew exactly how to mic and mix each musician. Everything was balanced well, and no one’s musical efforts were wasted - Kyle caught them all. Unlike many “experienced” sound technicians, Kyle continued to mix and adjust levels throughout each of the dozen+ sets for five or six different bands. It wasn’t a set-it-and-forget-it show. He constantly made sure the music was sounding as good as it possibly could!
AV For You did a home-run job, and it helped make our gig a piece of cake! Kyle and Sean were 100% professional and knowledgeable both on and off the stage, and I’d use AV For You again anytime! My only regret is that they can’t do sound for all...
Read moreWe used AV for You to supply the audio and visual equipment for our wedding. We are based overseas in Australia which made the coordination of our wedding challenging, but not with AV For You! Everything was so convenient and they were so, so accommodating. We visited 12 months prior to the wedding and they took us through the entire storage facility, gave us advice on what we might need and provided a really reasonable price for the hire. Blake was absolutely brilliant to deal with regarding the coordination aspects and worked with us through everything.
Upon pick up, all of the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The equipment was packed excellently and conveniently and there was so many additional sundries like extension cables, extra XLR cables and patch leads. We are not AV experts but everything was set up to be very intuitive and easy.
Drop off was also super easy, even on a Saturday!
Could not recommend AV For You any higher! Our hire was only for a wedding but seeing the way they operate, their facility and they equipment that they have, it’s clear that they are set up for a job of any size.
Thanks again for making the music and entertainment at our wedding better than we could ever...
Read moreThe following is a copy of a note I sent to the owner, Josh.
Dear Josh, I had the pleasure of spending some time on Saturday and Sunday with your employee Cody (and to a lesser extent Nick) at today’s conference at the Jewish Community Center. I felt compelled to write you to let you know how impressed I was with Cody’s knowledge related to all the audio and video needs at the conference. But as importantly, was his willingness to help and to make any accommodations whenever asked. He even offered to move the podium and some chairs, to make sure that those in attendance didn’t have an obstructed view of the speakers!
Cody shared with me that you provided an upgraded lcd projector at no extra charge and that both hand held and lavaliere microphones were available if needed. When I asked, he also shared that you treat your employees as well as you treat your customers. That statement says a lot about you as a business owner and as person.
I will highly recommend your company to...
