The San Jose location was where we picked up our PA system and stand for a 45th anniversary banquet we were celebrating for our amazing Aunt and Uncle. I knew very little about audio equipment and the staff here were super helpful and surprisingly super courteous. Everyone was young, but they knew their stuff and gave me a short training tutorial and threw in extensions cables and aux to phone jack cable as well as a better XLR cable that would work better than the 1/4 jack cable I had for my Mics that I brought for our cousins to do speeches and MC the event. It was so simple to play the audio of a slide show we had on our laptop and we were able to Spotify a wedding music set from our phone making the whole event ever more special yet still chill and warm and full of family love. I felt very confident with the equipment all from the thorough training I was given on how to use the equipment and how to work the stand and such. We will definitely rent from these guys for future AV needs.

This man saved our band, and is one of the most genuine, helpful, and impressive small business owners I've had the pleasure of dealing with. Every step of the rental transaction was well-planned, thoughtful and absolutely positive. We rented a mixer/interface and an additional 8 channel board, and he knew his gear and its capabilities inside and out, promptly confirming via email what exactly I'd be renting, plus useful links to download drivers and manuals. Pickup was a breeze, and he spent plenty of time explaining the workings of the machine so that even technologically challenged me felt confident in the gear. As things went wrong during my setup process, as was bound to occur, Tony made himself quite available for phone questions, pointing me in the right direction until all was running flawlessly. For future recording projects, I know exactly where to go. Thanks again, Tony!

Chris Campanella from JK Sound is just amazing. My then fiancé reached out to him in November, just…read moretwo months before our wedding, and Chris was so responsive and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. We ended up renting a loudspeaker system, two mics, a digital mixing console, and dance floor lighting. The cost was incredibly reasonable considering the final total included not just the rental, but the set-up and breakdown labor, an attendant on site, and transportation. About a month before the wedding, Chris made time to come out to meet us at our venue to do a walkthrough. What made this special? Our venue only allowed for viewing on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. Though based in San Francisco, he was there before 6:30 pm and proceeded to walk through the dining room to check outlets and power sources, get a sense of the acoustics of the room, etc. On the day of the wedding, Chris was the one in attendance and the sound and lighting was absolutely perfect. From our entrance and first dance songs, to the music playing during dinner, to the 2.5 hour dancefloor playlist - everything was super crisp (never too loud/too soft). My then fiance made a playlist and downloaded it to a laptop and it worked seamlessly with the sound and lighting equipment. During dancing, Chris wordlessly turned down the chandelier lighting so that the lighting from JK Sound could really shine. The strobe lighting to the beat drops was so memorable. A lot of my cousins had fun getting up on stage and pretending to be DJs lol. All in all, would highly recommend JK Sound for your sound and lighting needs!

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.
