Super reliable and super easy to work with

When it comes to gig production (sound, lights, backline) If I have any say in the matter, Milbourne Sound is my first and only call. From first contact to load out, Mark is responsive, ready to go, efficient, and just really easy to work with. And he doesn't let last second changes or issues throw him. He can pivot as needed to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. I've worked with him in multiple capacities - event planner, singer, etc. From large public and private events, to providing lighting for my kid's school dance, Mark is on it. When he's doing sound and I'm singing, once soundcheck is completed, I don't have to worry about anything else the rest of the gig. I rarely if ever need to ask for adjustments mid gig. But if I do, it's done in an efficient and timely manner. And his crew is always super professional and top notch. Seriously, when you need production, back-line, and sound engineering, save yourself any potential headaches and contact Milbourne sound FIRST!

Great engineer with solid gear

I have worked with Mark and his team for many years on many many events. Mark like to make sure everything runs as smooth as possible. He works with you and venue staff well in advance of the event to make sure everything from load-in, to strike at the end of the night, is covered. He and his team are extremely professional and they bring high quality gear and experience to each and every show. I have recommended Milbourne Sound to lots of folks looking for PA, Lighting or just an engineer to walk up and mix a show.

Additional booking notes

Power requirements: At least three separate power circuits or a 30 - 50 amp circuit. A generator capable of this is also perfect.

Space: PA speakers and equipment need space around a stage. Please consult with me if you're unsure. I'll also need somewhere to set up in front of the PA, usually 40 - 50 feet away, to control the system at the event.

Grandma: Please don't put Grandma next to the speakers! At short distances, speakers can be pretty uncomfortable, and they do need to be at a volume to fill the room with sound.
