We had an excellent experience working with Verducci Events for the A/V at our community film…read morescreening of GOAT by Unanimous Media. 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.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping to make our reunion truly special. There have…read morebeen nothing but rave reviews for all aspects of the evening! The lighting was lovely, the music spot-on, and overall the production elements were perfect. I got zero complaints that the volume was too high - which has been a common complaint at all previous reunions. We also had good feedback on the Photo Booth. On behalf of the Skyline High School class of 74, thank you so much for being a big part of making the reunion a beautiful memory for all who attended!

This was my 2nd time booking Sound and Video Rentals with Jay!

This year, 2025, he provided sound for our 5th year Step anniversary for over 80 people. It was a easy process booking him.

Loud enough for everyone to hear. Mics were nice and clear! System was in great condition and not hard to navigate! We appreciate Jay for always making it work for us even when it's last minute!

One of the worst sound companies I have ever worked with. Our band had no monitors and our lead…read morevocalist could not hear himself. The band has a huge following and it made us look really bad and also the Lafayette Art and Wine festival. The sound the audience was hearing was muffled and after listening to friends' posted videos of our show today - lead vocals were almost not there, keyboards blasting loud and no guitars. This is the most unprofessional sound company. They have no business doing sound for a big festival. Maybe a backyard party would be ok

We had an extraordinary experience working with Stephen Dukleth at a high profile fundraiser for…read moreMeals on Wheels. 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. We HIGHLY recommend Oakland Audio-Visual Services to anyone planning an event that wants to ensure a smooth and heartwarming experience!

Michael (in the planning) and Steve (in the execution) have been creative problem solvers from the jump. That is so important in the A/V space. They've gone above and beyond, and they roll with any punch thrown their way. They care so much about their clients. I have been in great hands this entire time. They love their work and their entire team was so accommodating to their client needs. They had a positive demeanor the whole day and were an absolute joy to work with. You can just tell their is a culture of excellence at OAVS. Their knowledge and inventory is unmatched in the area. They are just plain awesome. Thanks you OAVS!

Our party had about 150 people and the age range was between 25-45 for the most part and people enjoyed the music. I would definitely hire them again. Thank you Envision!
