THE TRAVELING DJ COMPANY

SIDECAR AUDIO

Extras Mentality

At Sidecar we like choices, but let's face it, there are too many in life.

At any event I will always bring the right tool for the job – the perfect sound system for the venue, the ideal lighting for the vibe – but sometimes you just want that little bit extra. This page should give you an idea of what is possible. 

We are all about custom tailoring our services to fit exactly with what you are looking for.  Just because something isn't listed does not mean it isn't possible – all you have to do is ask!

LIGHTING

Lighting is often the most under estimated way to make a dramatic impact on your event, and we are here to help change that!  Don't be left out in the dark, let us help you create a beautiful setting in any room.​

UP
LIGHITNG

LED uplighting can create a dramatic impact and enhance any rooms atmosphere.  Our low profile, battery powered LED lights can be placed anywhere to help set the mood. 

 

 

Our uplights are controlled remotely with the rest of the light show. Earlier in the evening we can focus on a single static color, and later on add other colors, fades, and effects, which will add energy to the room later in the night during dancing!

CANOPY 
LIGHITNG

An open canopy of light and makes can make any outdoor space feel more intimate, all the while creating an extremely unique touch to your event.

PARTY
LIGHTS

Party lights are a great way to add a dash of color and excitement to the dance floor.  You and your guests will be amazed as our high tech lighting dances along to the beat with your guests.

Party lighting is included with all of our rentals, but if you are looking to go all out we can really lean into it, including:

  • Moving Head Wash Lights

  • Beam and Spot Moving Heads

  • Crowd Blinders

  • Liquid Sky Lasers

  • And much more, just ask!

HAZE+
ATMOSOHERICS

Looking to see the crisp beams of light cutting through the room? Haze is what allows those rays to shine!

If you are going all out with lighting, we cannot recommend haze enough – especially when paired with our disco balls for a retro look or lasers for a liquid sky effect! 

DISCO
BALLS

To be honest with you, disco balls are one of our favorite thing​s. They make us happy, and look oh-so-good at any party. 

We offer a range of sizes from 6" through to 20" and can even hang them in clusters for a more dramatic impact. With our lights programmed to hit them at the push of a button, they shine with brilliant rays of light throughout the room!

Disco balls pair super well with our Haze option above, allowing the beams to really be seen cutting through the air.

SOUND

There is no one-size-fits-all approch to sound. Every venue and outdoor space has a unique sound, and we match out gear to fit, and EQ every room to make sure it sounds the best it can! While this approach is custom tailored by us behind the scenes, here are some of the more popular add-ons our clients often opt for. 

CEREMONY
SYSTEM

Is the ceremony in a different location from the reception? No problem!  We can provide a separate sound system for the nuptials.

Guests will be greeted by music of your choice as they arrive to the ceremony, and you can walk down the aisle to the song you've always dreamed of - even a live musician can plug into our setup!

As a completely separate sound system from the main reception area, everything is set up and ready to go prior to guests' arrival, allowing for a seamless transition from one location to the next. Includes discreet, wireless microphones for the officiant, vows, and readers, to ensure that grandma can hear every word.

AUDIO
RECORDINGS

A great middle ground for not having a videographer, we can capture a high quality recording of all your toasts, speeches, and even your ceremony!

SOUND
REINFORCEMENT

Looking to have music in multiple rooms or outdoor spaces? Have a band that needs to show up and 'plug in'?

 

Sometimes layouts call for music in several locations across entire properties. We have you covered, and can set up sound in each specific location!

Don't let the logistics stop you from achieving your vision, we have you covered and always choose the right speakers for your venue and guest count to make sure things sound crystal clear.

EVERYTHING ELSE

A few additional popular options that may strike your fancy, or leave you inspired! No idea is off the table, just ask. 

VIDEO
SCREENS

From slideshows on a loop to entertain guests while they wait near the bar, to videos of your elopement to share with reception guests, or even a powerpoint for the company annual meeting, we have you covered.

We offer TV's from fifty inches upwards, to crisp projectors and screens ranging from 120" to a full 16 x 19 feet for a full cinematic experience. Who needs to head to the theater when we can bring it to you in the comfort of your backyard!
