Everything you need to know before booking.
How far in advance should I book Dept 33 Sound?
We recommend booking 4–8 weeks out for parties and 3–6 months out for weddings and larger concerts, especially during peak spring and summer event season. That said, reach out even if your date is close — we'll do what we can.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Northeast Ohio and regularly cover events throughout the region. If you're outside our usual radius, contact us and we'll let you know about travel availability and any added fees.
Do you provide your own equipment?
Yes. We bring our own PA systems, mixers, microphones, and backup gear to every job, sized to your venue and guest count.
How much does it cost to book Dept 33 Sound?
Parties start at $200 and weddings start at $2,000, with custom quotes for concerts, community events, and bundled bookings. Pricing depends on event length, guest count, and services needed.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits or community events?
Yes, we offer custom pricing for community events, non-profits, and bundled bookings across multiple dates. Reach out with your event details and we'll put together a fair quote.
Can you provide lighting in addition to sound?
Yes. Premium lighting, including uplighting and dance-floor or stage lighting, is available on request for weddings, parties, and concerts.
How early do you arrive to set up?
We build setup and sound-check time into every booking so everything is ready well before your guests or performers arrive. Exact timing depends on venue and event size, and we'll confirm it with you ahead of the date.
