"A few things about Darren from Encore Audio. He is ultra-professional and organized as well as an absolute pleasure to work with on a human level. On a technical level what he is able to achieve sonically with human speech is stunning. We have many occasions when we need voice amplification for lectures, panel discussions, and weddings where the acoustical realities of the event spaces are particularly challenging. Through a combination of accumulated field experience and high quality components Darren is able to produce incredibly natural, non-directional amplification in a remarkably unobtrusive manner. The result is essentially that our guests have a very low awareness of the source sound being enhanced artificially. In every instance we want them to be focused on content and not whether or how clearly they can hear that content".

 "We cannot endorse Encore Audio enough! Working with outside vendors can be a risk if they do not share your standards- but that is never the case with Darren and his staff! They are consistently a pleasure and a talent to work with. We recommend him to all of the couples we work with!"

"I have worked with Darren on two events to date and both of them were not the easiest. The first was a wedding where he amplified the ceremony on the shore of a lake but two minutes before the big moment it started to pour rain. We had to move the ceremony to a different location 10 minutes away and Darren did a great job moving and connecting everything in an express time. The reception was challenging too as water started to pour into the tent. He did an excellent job securing everything and making sure the whole event went without any hiccups . The second event we worked together was at a farm in the middle of nowhere on one of the hottest day of the summer. He installed his beautiful bistro lights right in between and above tables. The end product was truly beautiful! The outdoor lighting made our event truly magical and special. Darren is very professional and detailed oriented. I would highly recommend him!"

"When my clients want to plan an outdoor wedding many factors come into play to make that happen well. The obvious obstacle is weather, and also very important is if their ceremony will be heard with all the effort put into planning the words and vows of the service. I recently hired Encore Audio Event Services to amplify a ceremony in a meadow on a pretty farm in Vermont. Unfortunately, the weather forecast was not good and rain imminent at ceremony time. Encore Audio's staff was terrific in working with us last minute to install their equipment when we realized we'd be able to pull the ceremony off outside just before the rain came. Everyone could hear not only the minister, but the vows of the couple which was terrific!"

"What can I say? You worked your tail off on Saturday! I cannot thank you enough for your hustle and all the extra work you put into Mike and Sarah's wedding to make it the best it could possibly be. The technology aspect of this wedding at MASS MoCA was one of my biggest concerns going into this wedding and you took care of everything like a true professional. I really appreciate it! I sincerely hope that we have the opportunity to work together again."
