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!

I recently worked with Jay and Sound and Video rentals for a small backyard party. 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.

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!

I had a really great experience working with Tambriz Party Rentals for my daughter's first…read morebirthday. I asked for a 13x13 pink soft play area and they were able to send of a contract, confirm availability, and set-up/break-down the play area. It was such a hit for our group of friends because we have a lot of kids that are 1-5 years old. The guys showed up and put together the space really quickly. I didn't realize there was a giant beam in the middle of the space where I wanted the play area and the crew was able to work around it, which I really appreciated their flexibility. We did have a bit of a hiccup with the breakdown of the event because the crew confirmed with the wrong person when they were supposed to come down to take it all down, so they ended up showing up an hour late. Thankfully there wasn't an event after ours so it was all good. Overall really good experience and it was the best value in terms of set-up that I found in the area, so would definitely consider them for a soft play set-up again!
