Sonic bass was amazing! Simeon was so kind and helpful and showed us how to set up all the equipment and lighting, and gave us his personal opinion on what equipment would suit our Vegas themed function! I will be using him again in 2 months for my sisters wedding! Can't recommend enough, good job Sonic Bass !

Simeon was the best help for my event. He is so approachable and helpful and spent time talking through all parts of the event, explaining how everything worked. Even when I suggested kit that he didnt offer he still helped with ideas for this. Absolutely will use again future events.

Our sound system supplier pulled out last minute for our wedding and these guys saved us! Good prices and good explanation on how to set up the kit. The system worked really well at our wedding!
