I highly recommend Hal for all Audio and Visual equipment needs- due to his trustworthiness, expertise and manners.

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.

After the site walkthrough our team was pinching ourselves at how lucky we were to get to work with Steve and his crew. He was thorough, personable and incredibly knowledge. At the event itself, Steve blew us away by not only his, warmth, graciousness and decades of knowhow, he generously educated us on the fine points of sound. Our Sound Engineer and Videographer came away with a master-course in troubleshooting complex remote devices (pic included). Brian, also from OAVS was a delight and ever-ready for all the exciting twists and turns the night held. This is the kind of company you don't see anymore. 3 generations of fellas, all truly lovely and at the cutting edge of their craft.

From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. They understood the stakes of a high-visibility screening and executed flawlessly--crisp sound, clean projection, and a seamless setup that allowed the audience to stay fully immersed in the film. What really stood out was their calm, solutions-oriented presence onsite. Live events always come with moving parts, and Verducci handled everything with ease and confidence, making our team feel fully supported. They were collaborative, respectful of the space, and clearly invested in the success of the event--not just the tech. If you're looking for an A/V partner who is reliable, thoughtful, and truly knows how to show up for community-centered and high-profile events alike, Verducci Events is it. We'd absolutely work with them again.

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.
