Guest count is a proxy. What actually decides the system is room volume, ceiling height and whether the room is carpeted. A 200-person wedding in a low carpeted room needs less than a 150-person event in a concrete loft.
Microphones and speech
Speech is where systems get judged. We bring more mics than you asked for, we ring out the room before doors, and we keep a wired handheld on the floor because wireless eventually does something stupid.

Playback redundancy
Two independent sources into two console inputs, both loaded with the same show. A laptop is never the only path to sound. This costs nothing and eliminates the most embarrassing failure available at an event.
Check your date
The first question is always whether the date is open. Start there: the rest takes two minutes.
Common questions
Can I rent a sound system without an operator?
For very simple systems, sometimes. For anything with a console the answer is normally no. An unattended mixer at a wedding is a bad trade for the money it saves.
How much does sound system rental cost in Toronto?
From $600 delivered, set up and operated for a small room. A 250-guest wedding is typically $1,400 to $1,900. Line-array scale systems are quoted per room.
Do you provide wireless microphones?
Yes. Two wireless handhelds and a lav as standard, plus a wired backup. Batteries are fresh for every event rather than carried over.
What if the venue already has speakers?
Often we use them for speech and add our own for music. In-house banquet systems are usually distributed ceiling speakers, which are good for announcements and hopeless for a dance floor.
Do you tune the system to the room?
Yes, before doors, with the room empty and then adjusted once it fills. A room with three hundred people in it sounds nothing like the same room empty.
