Event Log - Kalamazoo Bridal Show - 2/23/2020 

The A-List Event Group team was honored to be selected as official entertainers and event hosts for the first annual TLC Wedding Show in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  We supplied the show with sound reinforcement, uplighting, emcee and music services for the inaugural events, "runway shows."  

Large scale events of this type require large scale production - and the A-List team has sound and lighting capabilities unrivaled in the mobile market.

Whether you are hosting or attending an event...there is nothing worse than; 

a. your message not being heard or,

b. not being able to hear the message being conveyed.  

We believe as event organizers, nothing is more crucial than conveying your message clearly - but far too often, this isn't the case.

As event organizers, you have put a tremendous amount of blood, sweat and tears into your event, and nothing is more disheartening than calls of "we can't hear you" from crowd members.

Even worse than sounds levels that are inaudible, are sound levels that are distorted - as a result of pushing a sound system beyond its capabilities.

For this particular event, we utilized;

8 Powered Speakers.

4 Wireless Uplights.

2 Intelligent Light Fixtures.

1 Custom DJ Booth with 55" LED Monitor to display event specific branding.

1 DJ/Event Host

1 A/V Technician

2 Assistants  

At your next event, make sure your message is conveyed clearly.  Put our expertise to work for you and experience #lifeonthealist.
