Event packages & pricing

Looking for equipment without setup? Equipment rental store — coming soon →

Sound packages start at $560 with two professional speakers, two wireless microphones, a mixer, stands and cables. We deliver, set up, test the system and collect it after your event.

Delivery, setup and pickup are included with full-service packages within a 20-mile radius of downtown Minneapolis or downtown Saint Paul. Being inside either area qualifies. Outside the included zone, extra travel is $1 per vehicle mile plus $50 per crew-hour for the outside-zone portion of the actual trips, with a $25 minimum rounded up to $5. Your quote confirms the trip count and credits travel already covered; unusual access and special pickup times are agreed separately.

Example configurations — we can build a different setup.

These options are starting points, not our complete inventory. Tell us what your event needs.

Your written quote confirms the customized equipment, included services, schedule, access, travel and any applicable taxes or fees before booking.

Sound minimum: $560. Our online equipment-only store is coming soon; contact us for a written equipment quote. Setup-and-pickup packages do not include a technician staying during the event unless stated. Self-pickup is not currently available.
