"When it comes to gig production (sound, lights, backline) If I have any say in the matter, Milbourne Sound is my first and only call. From first contact to load out, Mark is responsive, ready to go, efficient, and just really easy to work with. And he doesn't let last second changes or issues throw him. He can pivot as needed to make sure everything goes off without a hitch. I've worked with him in multiple capacities - event planner, singer, etc. From large public and private events, to providing lighting for my kid's school dance, Mark is on it. When he's doing sound and I'm singing, once soundcheck is completed, I don't have to worry about anything else the rest of the gig. I rarely if ever need to ask for adjustments mid gig. But if I do, it's done in an efficient and timely manner. And his crew is always super professional and top notch. Seriously, when you need production, back-line, and sound engineering, save yourself any potential headaches and contact Milbourne sound FIRST!"

“When hiring Mark for an event you get a full professional arena level experience with full sound, lights, and expert engineering skills. Mark is capable of making on the fly adjustments for unforeseen circumstances of any event and will create an atmosphere that your guests will never forget.”

John K, CA

“I have worked with Mark and his team for many years on many many events. Mark likes to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. He works with you and venue staff well in advance of the event to make sure everything from load-in, to strike at the end of the night, is covered. He and his team are extremely professional and they bring high quality gear and experience to each and every show. I have recommended Milbourne Sound to lots of folks looking for PA, Lighting or just an engineer to walk up and mix a show."
