Do rental prices include delivery and setup?
No. The prices shown are the rental for one event day: the partner's rate plus our 10% fee. Delivery and pickup, setup, a damage waiver and sales tax are itemized on your free quote before you pay anything.
How can I save on av & sound rentals?
Use the venue's built-in system. Rent a speaker and mic only for speeches. Combine AV with the DJ's equipment. Combining categories on one order also saves, because one delivery covers everything.
