I worked with State of the Art one other time before an event on 6/15/23. They were the in-house…read morecompany of choice and the event was fairly simple so I didn't feel the need to put the event out to bid and/or bring in an outside company. I definitely made the right decision and the event went off without a hitch and the AV team actually exceeded my expectations. So when I found out 3 days before the 6/15/23 event that the event venue did not have a sound system, my contact with State of the Art was the first email I sent. He responded immediately and put me in touch with Kevin and Steve and they turned around a quote in a matter of hours. On the day of the event, Kevin arrived early which is an event planners wish come true and had everything setup and ready to go earlier than scheduled. Bonus points! Super nice people all around and just great to work. I agree with another reviewer...you don't need to look any further and you will never want to work with anyone else again once you work with State of the Art.

I have been in the dj and radio industry for 15+ years, so I believe I can give you an excellent review for this company. These guys know what they are doing in every way. My lighting for my wedding was phenomenal. The lighting gave our wedding the energy it needed to get our dancefloor moving and really got the party started. They were there all night working the lights and making sure everything was good, which will give you peace of mind. They are very personable and make you feel like family. If you need a DJ or just lighting and sound, put your trust in ML sound and lighting you will not be disappointed.......

Susan was very responsive over yelp messaging and tony who I spoke with over the phone was very thorough in explaining the options to me. I'd like to put in a good word for Tony! He really took his time in making sure I had all my questions answered and I think the different speakers they offer are great! My initial inquiry was for speakers for music for a wedding and I got some awesome photos to my email to help guide my decision! See attached. One thing I learned was that speakers themselves may not be enough if you want to have a nice wedding music DJ instead, but for me I think I'd like my own playlist and don't think we will have a club vibe for the reception.
