AV Equipment Checklist for a Wedding in Boise

Planning a wedding in Boise? Whether you're hosting at a vineyard in the foothills, a downtown ballroom, or a rustic barn off Chinden Boulevard, the right AV equipment turns a good celebration into an unforgettable one. Use this checklist from Event Rentals NYC, a KLAV Group company, to make sure every moment sounds, looks, and feels exactly right.

Sound System

Your guests need to hear the vows, the toasts, and every song on your playlist — whether the venue seats 80 or 300.

• PA Speakers (2–4 units): A pair of powered 12" or 15" tops for ceremonies and cocktail hour, plus a second pair for the reception. Essential from ceremony through last dance. $150–$400 per pair/day.
• Subwoofer (1–2 units): Adds low-end punch for dancing. Bring in for the reception. $100–$250 each/day.
• Wireless Microphones (2–3 units): One handheld for toasts, one lavalier for the officiant, and a backup. Needed for the ceremony and speeches. $50–$125 each/day.
• Monitor Speaker (1 unit): Keeps the DJ or band on cue. Used during the reception. $75–$150/day.
• Mixer (1 unit): A compact 8–16 channel mixer ties everything together. Required all day. $75–$200/day.

Lighting

Lighting sets the mood more than almost any other element. Boise's golden-hour sunsets help, but once the sun drops, your lighting does the heavy lifting.

• Uplighting (10–20 units): Wireless LED uplights along walls and columns transform any space. Set up before guests arrive. $15–$35 each/day.
• Dance Floor Lighting (2–4 units): Moving heads or derby lights keep the energy high during the party. $75–$200 each/day.
• Stage Wash Lights (2–4 units): Illuminate the head table, cake table, or band area. $50–$125 each/day.
• Ambient String Lights or Drape Lighting (1 set): Bistro lights or fairy-light curtains for that warm, romantic glow. $150–$400 per set/day.

Video

Share slideshows, livestream the ceremony for family who couldn't travel to Boise, or display your wedding logo.

• Projector + Screen (1 set): A 3,000+ lumen projector with a 6–8 foot screen for slideshows or livestreams during the reception. $200–$500/day.
• TV Display on Stand (1–2 units): A 55"–65" screen near the entrance for welcome graphics, seating charts, or photo loops. $150–$350 each/day.

DJ and Music

Even if you hire a DJ, confirming the gear in advance avoids day-of surprises.

• DJ Controller (1 unit): A professional controller with built-in mixer for seamless transitions. $100–$300/day.
• Turntables (2 units): For DJs who spin vinyl or prefer a classic setup. $75–$200 per pair/day.
• DJ Booth or Facade (1 unit): A clean, branded front panel keeps cables hidden and looks polished. $75–$200/day.

Extras

These are the details guests talk about for years.

• Photo Booth (1 unit): Open-air or enclosed with props and instant prints. A hit at every reception. $300–$800/event.
• Fog or Haze Machine (1 unit): Creates a dreamy first-dance moment. $50–$150/day.
• Confetti Cannon or Cold Spark Machine (1–2 units): A grand send-off or first-dance highlight. $100–$350 each/use.
