Scott just setup our wedding on 10/13/18 and it couldn’t have gone any better!! I’m beyond pleased with his crew and his professionalism throughout the whole process. He worked so well with our DJ for the event so I didn’t have to worry about the ins and outs of things I had no expertise on. They setup up 3 hours before my ceremony and stayed until we felt they were needed, mind you our venue was a good hour and half away from El Dorado Hills and they were more than willing to drive up and help make our wedding day go smoothly without skipping a beat! I highly recommend California Pro Sound and Lighting and we will definitely be using them in the future! Thanks Scott!

I’ve been doing business with CPSL for over a year now.
In the beginning things were professional and both Scott and Jo were very friendly and helpful.

I’m not sure what’s going on with this home based business but dealing with them over the past 4 months during the corse of a long term rental things have gotten quite stressful.

I was told multiple things one morning after texting to confirm a pick up.

The thing here is, Scotts made up rules.
If your family with the TV show “party down” then you know the Ron Donald do’s and don’ts

That morning I was lectured about the Scott Donald Do’s and Fonts of renting from
CPLS
Being told “Bro if you want to rent from us”
What happened was during the term of this contract we had given CPSL our USE DATES.
And during the contract we had been picking up our gear the day before the date listed.

The prior week Scott even started texting me for pick up 2 days before our listed use date.

Instead I told that morning the date on the contract was the pick up date.
So I was Ron Donald a whole new list of Do’s and Dont’s of deal with CPSL
So much so I had to remind Scott the terms of our contract, which then I was accused of stealing the gear we had paid for during the outlined terms of our 3 month rental.

From the inception I was given substitute gear, and rushed to come pick it up before Scott and his family left for vacation. Stored the gear for over a month then made to swap it out after they got home BEFORE the listed first use date on our contract. So realistically I never had to rush out prior to them leaving for a month long vacation and could have just picked up my gear the day after they got back when we swapped stuff out.

That’s a refectory example of how CPSL over complicated the terms of our rental contract

During that time gear was - double booked, I was forced to return gear multiple times during the term of our rental agreement, at times gear was not configured properly and I was forced to do hard resets, stands malfunction at events and needed to be repaired on site.

Gear consistently smelled like vinegar, to the point it actually made my nice car smell inside after pickups and required off gasing and cleaning.

I also brought CPSL additional business from my other promoters and they were given different pricing than our current contact.

I tried to address this with Scott the morning I was lectured about the Do’s and Don’ts
So when picking up gear I tried to speak with Jo his wife. She was not receptive to that, I asked if Scott was OK as he had yelled at me two weeks in a row re: pick up or gear.

After a rushed last pick up with Jo Scotts wife I was asked for my CC and ID after they had taken several photos of each prior.
I declined saying and reminding them that was not needed during the ongoing term of a contract that had been paid in full prior to its inception.

Wile this is a good home based small business, I suspect something is going on that effecting how smoothly things used to run.

I’ll be renting gear elsewhere from now on!
