For events with over 200 guests or those spread out across a large area, we recommend using satellite speakers to ensure balanced sound coverage so all guests can hear clearly. This setup will require additional speakers, wiring, and labor.

Please consult with your bandleader or band manager to determine the appropriate number of speakers for your event. Sharing a floor plan of the venue is highly recommended, as it helps us better understand the space and assess what equipment will be needed.

Priced per speaker

The piano shell creates the appearance of a real grand piano, giving the impression that our keyboardist is playing one—without the need to rent an actual grand piano. This is perfect for ceremony!
