No surprises.

A 25 percent retainer, $500 minimum, holds your date. Balance due two weeks before the wedding. Rather run your own sound? The DIY kits start at $249, and the $399 Reception Kit covers most receptions under 150 guests. See the DIY kits.

Not in the budget?

Rent the kit and run it yourself

Plenty of couples run their own reception sound and it works, as long as the kit matches the room. You lose the MC and the live reading of the room. You keep about $2,000.

The I Do KitA battery speaker and a wireless mic for a ceremony up to 150 guests, no outlet needed$249
Reception KitTwo 12 inch speakers on stands, a mixer and a wireless mic. Ceremony through the last dance for up to about 150 guests$399
Reception Kit PlusThe Reception Kit plus a battery speaker and a second wireless mic, for a ceremony on the lawn and a reception in the barn$579
Dance All NightTwo column arrays on their own subwoofers, a battery speaker for the ceremony, four wireless uplights, mixer and mic. Up to about 300 guests$899

Weekend rate, Friday pickup to Monday return. The two smaller kits are pickup only from the shop in Nampa. Delivery is $250 each way and only on the two bigger kits. Every kit is the price above plus a damage waiver, 10 percent with a $25 minimum, plus Idaho sales tax. Want a pro on site? Adding a technician to any kit is $950 flat.
