Al's Audio is an absolute gen of a company to work with! Great equipment, unbelievable engineers and a ton of industry knowledge. Often times they know what you need better then you do. I have worked with this team for nearly a decade and highly recommend them to anyone needing sound equipment or the full deal with techs and all!

Troy was great for my Wedding, having some experience DJing in the past I was proven wrong that all wedding dj's do is push play, true professional. Not your typical cookie cutter playlist from the 90's everyone was dancing the entire night!
