Cosmos Sound, Lighting, & Video

This past weekend we put on a huge 700 person, near round-​the-​clock conference. Cosmos was our provider for everything lights and sound, and they were nothing short of SPECTACULAR! They were extremely professional, hugely helpful, adjusting to last minute changes, handling multiple rooms and issues at the same time, going above and beyond to make sure we looked and sounded awesome. Several international stars were in attendance with high-​end technical requirements and they were very pleased with the level of professionalism and skill Cosmos exhibited. Svet and his team did an exceptional job!

I was referred by a family member to Cosmo because my daughter wanted to have some
special lighting for her sweet 16.
I know NOTHING about lighting and it felt extravagant to me, but told my daughter we could check it out.
The guys could not have been nicer. We were welcomed and they got someone to meet me
in the demo room. It was a crack-​up to have fog and lights going at 10:30am, but it was really helpful to see what the different lights do. I was delighted that we could rent exactly what my daughter wanted for $ 35. (plus a $ 500 deposit on my credit card to assure a prompt return)
The paperwork was done quickly and we were on our way.
When I came to get the light the morning of the party –it was ready to go .
It worked great and my daughter was super happy.
I needed to return it first thing the next day. The store was opened right on time, they carried the light in and processed me away right away.
As someone who was hesitant to even do this, I was impressed with the staff the section and the service.
I will definitely call on Cosmo again if I need lighting or sound equipment!

Svet is the best! He helped me so much with an atypical difficult project! He went above and beyond and reached out to suppliers on my behalf. Couldn’t say enough nice things about them. Really helped me out of a bind!

Cosmos is possibly the best sound rental & repair company of all time. So personable & affordable, it’s nuts.
I’m an unknown LA DJ but they treat me like I’m freaking Calvin Harris when i walk in.
I bet they’ve actually even put together an event for him before.
I’ve been coming here since 2010. It was recommended to me by another LA DJ. Why go anywhere else when Cosmos remembers you and treats you like a human being.

I love these guys there’re the best in town. i use them for all my events they have great prices and everything I need

SO disappointed. $ 1100 won’t get you technical proficiency if you don’t request it folks! Be sure to ask for EVERYTHING you could possibly need in your contract, otherwise you won’t get it.
I referred my boss to Cosmos because in the past they have done great, affordable, full-​service sound and lighting for me for so many concerts — it used to be my go-​to, reliable rental company, so when I switched jobs and we needed simple AV and lighting, it was a natural choice for me.
I am so embarrassed that my glowing recommendation turned out so poorly.
My new company has used Cosmos for a couple simple sound/​video set ups (a PA and some power point video with audio) and over the last 10 months or so but this past Wednesday was HORRIFIC. They claim that basic level setting is not included in setup and strike prices. I can’t believe they would let out a tech who wouldn’t be able to set levels if something went wrong– which is exactly what happened. Rocky, the tech that was sent, arrived to a business event in my opinion unsightly. He couldn’t connect the video feed or sync our power point to the mac on hand because we told them it would be on a PC, but last minute it was switched over to a mac, and they couldn’t handle it, so no video. Apparently, they didn’t have any back-​up video cables ready nor was the tech they sent qualified to hook up the mac — which later I was told was our fault because we specified PC. He also couldn’t regulate the sound from a basic PA with wireless mics when all of a sudden in the first two minutes of the presentation there was horrible feedback that nearly burst my eardrum, as I happened to be passing very near one of the mains when it happened.
And all this in front of a room of 100 at conference at the Marriot in Woodland Hills.
Honestly, I can’t believe it was so bad AND that we had to pay for this terrible experience on top of it. I expect that I will follow this review up with a letter directly to the company. NEVER AGAIN.

Cosmos is my favorite place to rent out my equipment! Also the customer service is fantastic!!! Bryan is always taking care of me. My parties are always a success!!! Thank you Cosmos!!!

These guys are very reliable and got all the basics covered, and then some. Have had nothing but good experiences with them, Javier and Brian especially

Big shout out to Brian and Rudy. They helped us out big time with some great club lighting and other rentals. Thanks Justin, Chris and Jimmy.

Brian and the team saved the day. Helped us get an event together on short notice and made us look like pros. Very patient and the prices were fair.

Went to cosmos to get lighting for a party. They have an awesome demo room, and have awesome prices. Brian was great help.

I am a Dj myself and at times I need some extra equipment for my events. If you’re looking for anything with sounds and lighting for your event this is the place to go to. Great customer service from everyone. I like the way Bryan went out of his way and worked with me, he was able to help me out with what I was looking for. If you ever need anything Bryan is the guy for your service.

This place is your go to for ALL dj or party needs! Im a dj and they always hook me up with whatever I need. All the guys are great but Bryan is my favorite. He goes above and beyond to take care of me and makes sure everything is perfect for my gigs! COSMOS ROCKS!

These guys are very dishonest. Do not spend any money here. I recommend other more honest company’s like Quality Electronics, Astros, SIR and even Guitar Center. I was a loyal customer for years. I bought a mixer, cordless mic & many speaker rentals. I brought in a turntable for repairs and they sabotaged it. They also left me with no microphone to rent after paying a deposit to reserve one. This left me in a very bad position. I had to buy a mic at guitar center. Very poor service from Javier, Rudy, and especially the old angry owner and his incompetent family. Poor service, faulty repairs, no customer loyalty.

Most unprofessional people i have ever worked with… Canceling my order 3 days before new years!

These guys know their stuff!
Everyone that I’ve dealt with are total pro’s and never steer me wrong.
Whether it’s a rental, service, or sale situation, the prices are great and they always go above and beyond with the customer service!
Can’t go wrong here.
Loyal customer for 10 yrs strong.
Thank you, Cosmo’s!

I’ve worked with Cosmos for two years, and for each event, they always come right on time for their load-​ins. Their service is highly professional and personable. They offer an array of services and lighting options. Their technicians often come to check on us during the day, and help us adjust the lighting before each of event. I highly recommend using Cosmos for larger events as their lighting equipment is versatile and their service is exceptional.

I’ve been working with these guys for years. Anytime I need a repair, I get it done here. Javier and Rudy are both pros, and they have a tech there (not sure of his name) who is a lightning fast machine. Typically, I’ll drop off turntables or a speaker, and it’s done within a week. When they’ve needed to send out for parts, it’s taken up to a week and a half and they set me up with a loaner. Super accommodating. Very knowledgeable. Totally affordable. I also get mic and additional PA rentals from them sometimes. Location is excellent. Price is right. And, they’re head over heals more professional and customer service oriented than Astro any day of the week.

I wish I could rate it 0 because I left without a rental.
I spoke with Javier earlier in the day about renting 2 Lav mics for an event tomorrow. He emails me a quote, and I respond to his email asking to verify the quote. He does.
I drive to pick up the equipment and he tries to charge me $ 160 extra saying that the quote he sent was a daily charge. Mind you, I pull out his email saying that it was the total charge and he says it was a mistake. He made the mistake writing the quote and confirming it via email? Obviously he needs a manager to second check his work.
Wish I read the reviews first…

Oooof. I stopped in here to check out weird lasers to rent for a DJ gig I’m doing. The prices were gross for the equipment they were offering. The first laser the guy showed me would have been cheaper to buy online???
I could actually save money if I bought drugs for everyone in the club, rather than try to enhance their night with lasers from Cosmos.
Not sure about the other rental prices, I just need lasers… because I’m nuts.
Also, I think they have a restaurant in the front of the building? So I’m guessing that sucks too…
