Wedding AV rental in Dallas-Fort Worth for couples, planners and musicians.
Ceremony sound when a string quartet is playing instead of a DJ. A plug and play rig for a traveling DJ. PA and backline for a wedding band that flew in light. Projectors, screens and televisions for the slideshow, monogram projection and uplighting. Delivery, setup, a sound check and pickup are all included.
Wedding AV services for the four people who usually make this call
Most wedding AV rental in Dallas starts with one of four phone calls, and each one wants something different from the same warehouse. Find the one that sounds like your day and read that section. If two of them sound like you, that is normal, and it is still one quote.
You are planning it yourselves
You have a venue, a guest count and a rough timeline, and you have worked out that the ceremony, the toasts and the dancing all need sound, and the wedding party has other things to carry.
Start at ceremony sound, then reception.
You are the planner or the coordinator
You need one vendor who can cover audio, screens and lighting on the same load in, answer the venue's questions about power and access, and hit the setup window on your production schedule on their own.
Start at how the day runs.
You are flying in to play
You are bringing controllers and headphones, because a pair of tops and a sub belong in our truck rather than in checked baggage. You want to walk in, plug in and play.
Start at traveling DJ support.
You are the band or the string quartet
You are booked for a wedding in Dallas-Fort Worth and you need a PA, monitors and backline waiting for you at the venue rather than in a trailer you drove across three states.
Start at wedding band backline.
Ceremony sound, including the weddings with no DJ at all
Rig Officiant microphone · optional second microphone for the vows · speakers placed for the seating · music playback
A wedding ceremony sound system rental is a small job with the whole room listening. The vows are the quietest thing that happens all day, they happen once, and half the guests are behind a row of hats. We size the speakers to the seating rather than to the room, place them where the aisle photograph stays clean, and set levels with someone standing where the officiant will stand. Music playback for the processional and the recessional runs from the same system, so the walk in, the vows and the walk out all come off one setup.
A growing number of the ceremonies we cover have a string quartet, a harpist or a guitarist playing instead of a DJ. Live musicians are the reason to call an audio company rather than a DJ company. A quartet in a garden or a stone chapel needs to be reinforced so it still sounds like a quartet in a garden, and the officiant still needs a wireless microphone over the top of it. That is a mix, and somebody has to be there making it.
Every wireless microphone we send out runs our AI-powered De-Feedback system, which buys real gain before feedback. That matters most outdoors and in stone or glass rooms, where the microphone has to be turned up to be heard over the wind or the reverb and that is when it wants to ring. A second wireless microphone for the vows is optional, and it is the add on we suggest most often, because vows spoken toward each other are quieter than anything else on the schedule.
PA and backline rental in Dallas for a wedding band playing away from home
A wedding band booked in Dallas-Fort Worth from out of town has two options: drive the trailer, or find the gear here. We are the second option. Send us the stage plot and the input list, and the PA, the monitors and the backline are standing at the venue when you arrive, tested and ready to sound check with the crew that patched it.
Front of house PA
Rig Powered tops on stands · subwoofers sized to the room · digital console
A system sized for the guest count and the ceiling, not whatever came off the shelf. For a band, that usually means real low end under the kick and the bass rather than a pair of speakers on sticks doing everything. Bigger rooms and receptions with a dance floor at the end get subwoofers, and the largest go to a line array.
Stage monitors
Rig Wedge monitors on their own sends · mixed from the console
Wedges across the front of the stage on separate sends, so the singer and the guitar player each hear their own mix. Tell us how many mixes the band works on and we build the monitor rig to match rather than handing you two wedges and a shrug.
Microphones and DI
Rig Vocal microphones · drum and instrument microphones · direct boxes for keys and acoustics
Wired dynamic microphones for vocals and amps, condensers for overheads and acoustic instruments, and direct boxes for keys, playback and acoustic pickups. Wireless handhelds run our AI-powered De-Feedback system for the moments when a singer walks out into the room. Drum microphone kits are quoted to your input list rather than assumed.
Backline
Rig Drums, amplification and keyboard stands · quoted to your rider
Backline rental in Dallas is the part bands are surprised to find on a wedding quote. Send the rider or a plain list of what you need waiting for you, and we quote it with the PA on the same line rather than making you chase a second vendor and a second delivery window.
An engineer at the console
Rig Sound check before guests arrive · mixed live through the set
Most wedding bands travel light on crew, and the wedding is the night for a real engineer on the console rather than the venue's house tablet. Add our engineer, who sets the stage, sets the microphone levels, runs a real sound check while the room is still empty, and stays on the console through the set and the toasts. Bands with their own engineer get the system set up, sound checked with them and picked up after the send off.
Power, load in and the venue
Rig Cable managed and taped · load in and setup times advanced with the venue
We advance the load in with the venue and the planner, so the doors, the elevator, the parking and the noise ordinance are settled before the truck arrives. The venue supplies the power. Cable is run and taped flat, safe for heels, and it all comes out again after the send off.
Rent DJ equipment for a wedding and just show up and plug in
Rig Powered tops and subs · DJ booth and table · balanced inputs for your controller · wireless microphone · optional ceremony coverage
A destination DJ flying into Dallas-Fort Worth for one wedding travels with a controller and leaves the speakers to us. We put the whole front of house up before you land: tops on stands, subs under the dance floor, a booth at the right height, power and a pair of balanced inputs ready for whatever controller comes out of your bag. You plug in, set your levels and play.
We also cover the part of the night before your set. Plenty of couples hire a DJ for the reception and have a string quartet, a guitarist or an officiant who need their own sound at the ceremony an hour earlier and a hundred yards away. We handle the ceremony setup and the handoff: we run the ceremony system through the vows and the announcements, then hand a working, checked system over to you for the reception with a wireless microphone already set and running clean. Optional on-site technician support is there for the whole night if you would rather have someone watching the front of house.
If you would rather we ran the whole night, we do that too. Our own DJs work weddings in the Metroplex every weekend, and the packages are on the DJ pages.
Reception audio for toasts, announcements and a full dance floor
Rig Wireless handhelds for toasts · PA sized to the guest count · optional subwoofers for the dance floor · music playback
The reception asks a wedding sound system to do two opposite jobs in the same evening. During dinner and the toasts it has to make one nervous person holding a microphone intelligible at the back table and comfortable at the front one. Two hours later it has to hold a dance floor together. Those are different settings on the same rig, and somebody has to change them at the right moment.
Wireless handhelds go out for the toasts and the announcements, running the AI-powered De-Feedback system so a best man can walk toward the head table and the room stays clean. Optional subwoofers go under the dance floor when the guest count and the room call for them, and music playback for the entrance, the first dance and the cake runs from the same console. Delivery, setup, tuning and pickup are included.
Rent sound equipment for your wedding
Plenty of couples rent sound equipment for a wedding and play their own music: a playlist for dinner, the first dance cued from a phone, and microphones for the toasts. Our wedding sound equipment rental covers that whole list, sized to your guest count and your room, and every piece is delivered, set up, tested and picked up by our crew.
Speakers placed for the seating
Powered speakers on stands, placed so the back tables hear the toasts and the front tables stay at conversation level, with a subwoofer added when the dance floor and the guest count call for one. We set the levels in the room during setup.
A mixer with Bluetooth
For couples playing their own music without a DJ, a mixer with Bluetooth takes the playlist from a phone or a tablet. We connect it, test it with your device during setup and show whoever is running the music how to change songs and set the volume.
Microphones for toasts and the ceremony
Wireless handhelds for the toasts and a lapel or handheld for the officiant, all running our AI-powered De-Feedback system. The same microphones cover the vows in the afternoon and the best man in the evening.
Drop off, setup, testing and pickup
Every wedding audio equipment rental is dropped off at the venue, set up before guests arrive and tested speaker by speaker and microphone by microphone. After the send off our crew comes back and picks it all up.
Want the ceremony audio run for you?
Add our ceremony audio engineer. The engineer mixes the officiant, the vows and any live musicians, cues the processional and the recessional, and hands the reception system over to your playlist once the ceremony is done.
Projectors, screens and televisions for the wedding slideshow
Projectors Ultra short throw · long throw · front and rear projection screens · ambient light rejecting screen
Televisions 32, 43 and 65 inch flat panels on floor stands
Almost every wedding has a moment for pictures: the photo montage during dinner, a video message from a grandparent who could not travel, the couple as children, a live camera feed so the back of a long ballroom can see faces during the vows. A wedding projector rental sounds simple until the room will not go dark.
That is what the ambient light rejecting screen is for, and in wedding venues it is the one we reach for most, because the room is lit for photography and stays that way for the slideshow. The ultra short throw projector sits close to the surface, so guests walking to the head table pass behind the beam and the image stays whole. For a cocktail hour, a foyer or a smaller room, televisions on floor stands look cleaner than a screen and work in full light. Slideshow playback and any music that goes with it run through the room system rather than a laptop speaker. LED video walls are coordinated through vendor partners who quote, deliver and set them up.
Wedding uplighting and monogram projection
Uplighting Wireless battery uplights · color matched to your palette · the floor stays clear
Monogram Your names or initials projected on a wall, a floor or a dance floor
Uplighting is the cheapest thing on this page that changes a photograph. Battery uplights go around the perimeter and up the architecture, set to the color in your invitations, and because they are wireless the wall a photographer is about to shoot stays clear of cord. We set them before guests arrive and collect them after.
A monogram is a custom gobo with your names, initials or date, projected onto a wall, a dance floor or the ceiling. We build the artwork from what you send us and aim it during setup so it lands square rather than stretched across a doorway. Both go on the same quote as the sound, which is the whole point of booking wedding AV in one place.
What a wedding AV booking looks like from your side
Planners ask for this in writing, so here it is. Four steps, and only the first one needs anything from you.
Tell us the day
Date, venue, guest count and roughly what happens when. If there is a band or a DJ, send the stage plot or the input list. If there is a slideshow, tell us the room it plays in.
We advance the venue
We call the venue about load in times, doors, elevators, parking, power and the noise ordinance, and we work to your production schedule rather than handing you ours.
We set up and check it
Setup starts well before the first guest. Everything is in, placed, patched and tested before doors, and microphones are rung out with a person standing where the officiant and the toasts will happen.
We run the ceremony and load out
When we run the ceremony audio, our engineer stays through the vows and the recessional. The reception system, screens and lighting are set up and tested for your DJ, band or playlist, and our crew comes back to take everything down and put it on the truck after the send off.
Things we will point you elsewhere for
Cheaper to read this now than to find out on a planning call. If any of it is what you need, say so and we will point you at someone who does it.
What is included
We are a service company. Delivery, setup, testing and collection are all handled by our crew. We deliver the speakers, set them up, test them with your DJ or band and pick them up after the event, with a ceremony audio engineer available when you want the ceremony run for you.
Inflatable or outdoor movie screens
Those come from a screen vendor. Outdoor ceremonies and outdoor sound are both fine, and we will tell you honestly if the screen you have in mind is a job for a different vendor.
Tables, chairs, tents and linens
Wedding rentals in Dallas covers a lot of ground. Ours is the audio, video and lighting end of it. Your planner or venue handles the furniture, and we work alongside them on the same load in.
Quoting from a template
Speaker counts and screen sizes come from your guest count, your room and your timeline. We would rather ask three questions and send you a package that fits the venue.
Planning a wedding with a live band and a DJ?
It is a common combination and it is one rig, not two. The band plays the dinner and the first set, the DJ takes the late dance floor, and both work off the same front of house with a changeover we plan in advance instead of during cocktail hour.
Wedding venues across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
We work from ZIP 76053, between Dallas and Fort Worth, and cover roughly a 40 mile radius. If your venue is further out, ask anyway and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
