Booking Timeline

For optimal planning and coordination, we recommend booking our services ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. The most crucial detail we require to initiate the booking process is the date(s) of your event. Once we have this information, we can efficiently work on all other aspects to ensure a successful and memorable experience for you and your attendees.

Please note that the Chicago Department of Buildings mandates a “Temporary Outdoor Stage Permit” for certain events. For further details on this requirement, please visit the city’s website here. Let us handle the logistics while you focus on creating an unforgettable event!

How Does It Work?

When we are present onsite throughout the event, we seamlessly integrate as an extension and additional resource to the event producer and their team. This dynamic allows the event producer to concentrate on all other event responsibilities without concerns about production and sound requirements. Our close collaboration with bands, DJs, MCs, hosts, and performers, including national anthem performances, ensures a meticulously timed run of show that flows smoothly.

For optimal results, we suggest implementing a line array audio system at the stage in each location to enhance the overall event experience. Let us handle the technical details so you can focus on delivering an exceptional event for your attendees.
