These guys are incredible. My boyfriend and I called last minute to rent some sound equipment for a funeral. The package deal we were looking at was not available, but the employee on the phone literally went above and beyond out of his way to put stuff together for us and supply us with what we needed, and more. When we picked up it was quick, and they were very knowledgeable about everything they were supplying us with. Everything at the funeral went smoothly and the sound system and microphones worked great. Drop off & return was super simple and super fast. I have never rented sound equipment before, but if I ever need to again, I will only be using these guys, even if I have to travel to them. Very kind, helpful, and if I could give 10 stars I would. 10/10, would recommend this company.

The equipment was in perfect condition and worked just like they said it would. It was easy to set up and use even someone unfamiliar with this type of equipment.

My partner and I rented some sound equipment from Pro Sound & Lighting for our wedding, so that we could record our ceremony to share with participants who couldnt attend in person due to COVID. Pro Sound & Lighting was very helpful all throughout the process, from helping us think through what equipment we would need to making the pickup and return process very easy. Each staff person we talked to seemed very knowledgeable and was patient with all our questions. We dont have much experience with sound equipment, but between the staffs explanations and the help of a more-experienced friend, everything went very smoothly and we were able to create a meaningful recording that helped us connect with loved ones from afar.

Ive been doing business with Tim for at least 25 years. They are simply the go to guys in pdx for rental and sales of sound and lighting gear. Tim and crew will go the distance to get you what you need at an affordable price.

If you need sound or lighting equipment, THIS IS WHERE ITS AT! These guys were absolutely fantastic. I was looking for audio equipment for my wedding and Pro Sound & Lighting had me covered. Since we werent going to have a DJ, I decided to shop around the Portland area to find the best deal to rent the equipment myself. These guys were HANDS DOWN the most affordable and helpful company around. They even let me come by a few times before the event so that I can check compatibility with the equipment I already had, and were extremely responsive to every one of my messages and calls. Jeb was so friendly and helpful to make sure I wasnt renting anything I didnt need. I even was able to rent a GOPRO Hero8 so that I could Zoom stream the wedding reception for my family on the east coast to attend. Cannot recommend these people enough. Seriously, no matter how big or small, they got your back!

An absolute delight of a vendor: great equipment at fair prices, with a variety of packages and products with skilled staff that can help you make the most of your event, while not trying to upsell you. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything youll need.A special shout-out to Jeb Stuart and Nick Prager for doing an awesome job of getting me set up and making my event possible. At this point I have rented from pro sound a few times and will be back, and highly recommend.

When I decided not to hire a DJ for our wedding, I realized we needed to rent out all our own sound equipment. Pro Sound and Lighting made it very easy to rent package B, and very patiently showed me how to set everything up. I picked it up on Thursday and didn’t have to return it until Monday for a very reasonable price.The equipment was easy to set up and we had great sound for the music and speeches.Not to mention all the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.Would recommend to anyone in the Portland area!

The staff is great. Theyre very helpful and kind. Ive been coming here for years and will continue to rent from them. They even called back to answer an equipment question we had on event day, which was a day they were closed. That is excellent service.

Their service is the best Ive experienced in years. Danny helped me and had my best interests in mind as he taught me about different products, some of which they didnt carry. So refreshing to work with a professional who has the confidence to help solve my need, even if it might not lead to a sale for the store. HIGHLY recommend Pro Sound!

Review №13

This place has 5 stars for a reason. I called them months before my wedding to reserve a speaker and the guys here answered every question I had and gave me honest opinions regarding how many speakers I needed. I wanted 2 but they told me I didnt need 2 and should get 1. It couldve been an opportunity for them to make a sale but they didnt, I respected that.On day of pickup they explained every detail of the items in full and were so friendly and polite. My mom returned the items the following Monday and said they greeted her knowing she was my mother!Prices are also super affordable.I couldnt be more pleased and will recommend them to everyone!

This is the best place to get the equipment you need for a reasonable price. They are very knowledgeable and eager to help you out. All really nice people too. They want your event to be successful nearly as much as you do. I could not imagine a better place to rent equipment. After calling a few places I called Pro Sound, and almost though it was too good, like there was some hidden fee or something. But nope, it was perfect and almost half of my other quote. And open Saturday, which for me was another half off. Great experience, highly recommend.

I am sorry for not getting names of the guys there. Some of the best customer service i have received in a long time. Setting up the equipment was effortless, due to their step by step instructions. Wedding was wonderful, a lot is due to sound equipment working perfectly. Can not thank you enough.

FIVE STARS!! 21/10 would recommend!!! Pro sound and lighting was recommended by a venue i was booked at and i was a bit worried about the stress involved in renting equipment and that was completely annihilated by this amazing staff and space. Every person i came in contact with was super helpful, they helped load and unload my car, the space was gorgeous AND they give our free batteries?!? too amazing. RENT YOUR EQUIPMENT HERE!!

I rented an 8-channel mixer, two subs, and two speakers which mount over the subs. Also included were all the cables and a converter from stereo 3.5mm (iPhone) to dual mono 1/4 jacks.Everything was ready exactly as requested and in perfect working condition. The staff was very friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional. They helped load up the heavy items and I was on my way. At the event, everything worked very well. The system sounded amazing, very clean and rich.At the return, as I met with the same exceptional help I experienced at pickup. I will definitely use Pro Sound and Lighting again.

Danny is the prime example of excellent customer service!! I was throwing a blacklight Boot Camp for the gym that I manage so I needed black lights... and lots of them! I didnt want to buy some so I came here. I was expecting to be talked down to like Im stupid like most people do, especially to a young woman like me. But Danny greeted me with a warm smile and told me everything that I needed to know about literally everything. He made everything so simple and easy. He even let me borrow a ton of extension cords and extra stands at no extra charge when I thought I was going to have to go buy some. I have been telling everyone that Pro Sound & Lighting is the place you need to go for all of your sound and lighting needs! Especially Danny! Thank you so so so much for making my life so easy, Danny! :)

I wish so badly I could remember the name of the gentleman that spoke with me on the phone because he was astoundingly helpful. Ive worked in various forms of customer service and production my whole young career and this person was top tier, among the best Ive ever communicated with. I called with hoards of questions about providing audio to my own wedding because I decided to handle it myself even though I know nothing, and whoever was on the other end of that line swooped under me like a phoenix and carried me on their wings to perfectsoundville. Ceremony was crystal clear, reception thumped, and I got everything recorded. Couldnt be more thankful. Bless yall and your angel. Thanks for being good people to do business with.

We wanted to do some karaoke for our wedding and they were so helpful making recommendations for us! We were expecting to have to rent more equipment than we actually needed and they were super honest and upfront and let us know how to simplify our set up. We really appreciate that in a business and hope to use them again!

I dealt with multiple reps when renting out 8 wireless headset systems for a musical production and every one was fantastic. We had to change up our rental time frame twice and both times I was met with the best service. I will definitely rent from here again! Thank you so much!

Like everyone else has said, the guys and gals at this shop are terrific. I was able to reserve all of the equipment I needed ahead of time and have it all packed and ready to go the day I was scheduled to pick it up. They really run through the system with you to make sure you have everything you need, including the minutia like power strips, extension cords, and adapters. On top of all of that, their prices are outstanding. I was able to rent a remarkably powerful DJ system for cheap, leaving me with a greater share of the profits from the gig. These guys are perfect for the amateur and professional alike. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for temporary or permanent sound or lighting reinforcement.

Review №38

These people are amazing - absolutely a dream to work with! From the first time I called, until I checked my equipment back in, Pro Sound & Lighting made the process so easy and pleasant, I will never rent from any shop again. Jeb, in particular was friendly and professional, giving me incredibly clear instructions on how to set up the equipment, and still made himself available (via phone) to clarify, step by step, when I encountered questions while setting up for my event. They even remembered who I was when I called back to rent again. This kind of customer service you cant buy. Its just who they are.

We were told to check out Pro Sound for renting our own sound equipment for our wedding. The minimal cost I was expecting was far more than what we actually paid - one of very few things throughout the entire wedding process that did not leave me thoroughly disappointed in how much money I was spending. My fiance and I went in clueless, and left feeling like we were well taken care of. We were having my brother pick up equipment, they were great about that, and even taking time the week before to to make sure the equipment all fit. It was more than I expected, I have no idea how much it took to set up, but I didnt hear about any problems. Everything was wonderful, and I am so glad we decided to DJ our own wedding!

I had a wonderful experience with Pro Sound. My wife and I put on a combined 50th birthday party for ourselves and had a band from Astoria come out and play. The band gave me a really brief list of the equipment they would need to put on the outdoor show. With that six item list (and having absolutely no clue what I was doing) I went in and spoke with the guys at Pro Sound. The sales rep I spoke with was a musician himself and had some suggested changes to the list that he wanted me to run by the band (the band concurred with all of them). He also filled in all of the gaps in the short list (e.g. all the cables needed to connect everything). He also had some suggested additional equipment items that the band hadnt specified (e.g. DI boxes - which the band ended up having to use).As for the results? Perfect. Ive seen Holiday Friends at the Doug Fir, Mississippi Studios, and Crystal Ballroom. But Ive never heard them sound as good as they did in our backyard. Everything set up without a hitch. One note to customers new to Pro Sound: they test all of the equipment before and after the rental. This means that if you show up before the specified time to pick the stuff up, you might end up cooling your heels for a bit. It also means that drop off isnt the quickest process (especially on a Monday morning). However, the process is well worth it. It would totally suck to bring home a big PA set up for a party only to discover that you had a blown speaker.Ultimately, I couldnt be more pleased with my experience. The quality of the service and equipment was excellent, and the price was very reasonable. It almost makes me want to have annual shows in our backyard.

I reserved audio equipment for a reunion. When I went to pick it up and read the contract, it would leave me greatly at risk the way it was written. Im very careful with contracts and read them thoroughly. The clerk was impatient, and when I asked questions about certain clauses, the response was to yell then to say I dont have anything to do with the contract, however she did not get me to someone who could help. Since I was not going to leave myself at risk, I declined based on the contract, but they charged me anyway!

My company has some sound equipt weve been using for about 20 years or so for our business seminars. At our July session, smoke and sparks started coming out of our sound board! Hmmmm. Time to re-think this. Someone suggested Pro Sound to me.Jan Carlson, one of their staff, was excellent to work with. What a great resource.She has patiently and clearly (because Im a like second-grader at this stuff) walked me through what we have and what we need for the future. Rather than arrogantly tolerating my stupid questions and interacting with me and the questions as an irritation, or diminishing me for my lack of knowledge, shes given me education. Now rather than being clueless and intimidated in making decisions about this stuff, I have some clarity about whats important and what we need now, and for the future. SO very valuable. Im no longer worried or doubtful about this stuff and I am getting what I want.Jan, thank you very much. You give very SOUND advice!

In my line of work, I get to see the full spectrum of quality when I have A/V needs. I recently rented gear from Pro Sound and Lighting for 2 New Years Eve gigs and was pleasantly surprised. PSL was professional, knowledgeable and prompt. They put together a quote over the phone and sent it over via email for review. Their prices were also the best I found. The gear I rented was in excellent shape and upon further discussion I learned that they had a deep inventory should I ever need to rent for larger events. I wont be going anywhere else from now on.
