Beware of Paul the sound guy, he either hates his job or hates musical artists…read more... First off, I myself am a professional audio engineer, producer and musician. I also own and operate a turnkey entertainment agency with an excellent reputation. Context: I was hired to perform at a restaurant in Glendale with a 9 piece band. We came prepared and ready to go. However, the sound guy (Paul) arrived late and had a horrible attitude. You need to understand as an engineer / audio tech, the artist is YOUR priority. Take care of them, and you'll have a great show. What does that look like? Set up on time, ring out the system (monitors and mains) , gainstage your mics and instruments, etc. What did Paul do? : scoffed at our tech request, made condescending remarks any time we asked if we can make adjustments, and just made our experience very uncomfortable and disappointing . If Paul was my employee/contractor under my company, I would be embarrassed and ashamed at the lack of professionalism and interpersonal skills. I would like to think this company is better than this and maybe Paul is simply misrepresenting Cosmos AVL in the worst way. I will never hire Paul nor will I ever recommend my industry and corporate clients to this company.

Although my project was not too big, and more or less simple, the service I received was exceptional. Svet agreed to meet me at the venue to see the space and figure out what exactly I would need. I was then able to go to their showroom to see samples of what it would look like. They worked with my budget, showed up on time for the day of the event, and set everything up very smoothly. Having the lights was an absolute must and created the whole ambiance of my party! I am extremely satisfied with their customer service and products. I highly recommend this business and will definitely be using them again! A++++

Bad Communication…read more sent friend across town after negotiating a price through Facebook Marketplace, only to discover that the agreed price somehow magically transformed back into the original listing price the moment it was time to pay. The listing was $339. I offered $280. The seller countered at $298 and explicitly stated, "298 is the lowest I can go for the FLX4." Fair enough. That's called negotiating. I accepted the understanding that the item would be sold for $298. I then asked for the address and business hours, which were provided. At no point during any of these conversations did anyone say, "By the way, the negotiated price does not include tax," or "there will be additional card processing fees." When my friend arrived to pick up the item, suddenly tax and card fees appeared out of nowhere. The final total landed right back around $339, which just so happened to be the exact original Marketplace listing price. Maybe that's a coincidence. Maybe the stars aligned perfectly. Maybe after negotiating from $339 to $298, adding tax and fees just happened to bring the price right back to where it started. From a customer's perspective, it felt like a classic bait-and-switch. The negotiated discount existed only until it was time to actually pay. What made the experience worse was the attitude when I called to clarify the situation. Instead of acknowledging how misleading the pricing appeared, I was met with a lecture about how famous the store is and how they've been around since the 1990s. Respectfully, how long a business has existed has nothing to do with whether pricing was communicated clearly. A business that's been operating for decades should be even better at disclosing final costs upfront. The product itself may be fine. The issue is transparency. If the real total is going to be significantly higher than the negotiated number, disclose that before someone makes plans, sends a friend, or drives to the store. Clear communication prevents bad reviews. Unfortunately, clear communication was exactly what was missing here.

Incredible experience …read more.. Not only did this team go above and beyond to ensure that I could rent what I needed to for a short-term, out-of-town engagement, but they literally spent an hour walking me through how to correctly hook up the equipment, suggesting better options, even helping to fix an error message that was coming up with the software that for sure would've stopped me in my tracks on my own on location. They handle much much bigger jobs than what I needed - literally just a remote recording set up - they carry everything necessary for full on production (TV, and movie sets), large-scale remote events, to individual in-home studio needs. They have an outstanding reputation - which is why I had been referred over to them - but not in my wildest dreams did I imagine that they would be as kind, accommodating, and patient as they were... For the record I'd actually called another "top rental house" prior (LOCATION SOUND - see review) that was located even closer to my office... but the person there in rentals was so abrupt that instinctively it just felt like it would be a wrong decision; part of what you need when you rent expensive equipment of course is great customer service... so that if something goes wrong and you need assistance, you know that you've got it. Cannot recommend highly enough. Definitely wanna call ahead to make sure that if you need tech assistance their tech expert is in the house and not on location helping someone remote, and to make sure of course that what you need has not been rented out to some large scale production during the days that you will need it. Must call! Thank you Kathryn Cory B.

This space is stunning!! I worked on an event at this location last week and I was thoroughly…read moreimpressed with the beauty and attention to detail. The studios aren't very big but they are functional. One studio has a U-shaped Cyc wall and an overhead lighting grid and the other studio has a basic lighting grid as well. Practically every inch of this place is straight out of your Pinterest aspirational decor board. Even the bathrooms are gorgeous (gold toilets, I kid you not)! The exterior walls are instagram worthy as well. There is also a secure gated parking lot with direct access to the studio for easy load out and they have equipment and even some set pieces that you can rent. In addition to being beautiful this studio is CLEAN. The bathrooms are clean, the kitchen is clean, the Cyc wall is flawless, etc. There are makeup stations with lighted mirrors though they are a bit short, better suited for talent doing their own makeup than for a makeup artist to use as a station. TLDR; this studio is beautiful, classy and functional. If you have clients that you want to really impress then this is the space to rent for your photoshoot or event.

Late delivery + communication issues, but the delivery crew was great…read more I used Rental Avenue for furniture rentals for an event and spent around $7,000. Unfortunately, the experience was incredibly stressful due to logistics and communication. The delivery showed up about 6 hours late, which completely threw off our setup timeline. Because they were so behind, I ended up having to stay at the property until 10:00 PM just to get everything placed and ready. To make matters worse, communication with the office was really difficult -- at one point, we had to have the delivery guys call the office repeatedly just to get someone on the phone and get direction/answers. That should never be on the customer (or the crew) to chase down. I'll say this: the delivery guys were honestly great. They were professional, kind, and clearly doing their best under the circumstances. We also ran into an issue with the table/chair heights. I ordered tall chairs, but I had selected shorter cocktail tables. They did help fix the issue, which I appreciate -- but the way it was handled made me feel like I was being scolded for it. When you're spending thousands and already dealing with a massively late delivery, the last thing you need is attitude. A simple "no worries, we'll get it sorted" would have gone a long way. Overall: great delivery crew, but the late delivery, hard-to-reach office, and the tone when resolving the setup issue made this a frustrating experience. I really wanted this to be a smooth, professional rental process, but it wasn't. I would not recommend.
