We've all been affected deeply by the Coronavirus. Loss of jobs, stores shut down, worldwide uncertainty, and sheltering in place are just a few of the once-a-century type of occurrences we're experiencing. The event industry in particular is getting hit hard. After an emotional roller coaster, we're seeing some light and adapting fast. Here's what we've been up to and a few of the ways we're pivoting to stay relevant and resilient!

1. Rescheduling and cancelling events. This was the first, but worst and most dreaded phase of our new life. We put a new policy in place for clients unable to have their event due to Covid-19 related government mandates. It was two (unpaid) weeks solid on the phone and sending emails. The bulk of it is done, for now. Unfortunately, requests for rescheduled or cancelled events continue to trickle. We've consulted our legal team and...

When planning an event of any occasion it is important to consider your audio and visual needs. Choosing the right vendor and equipment for your scenario could make all the difference in the efficacy of your event. When making decisions about your A/V needs, here are a few things to consider.

1. What is the event space like?

You might be thinking a live, professional DJ sounds like a lot of fun, but you’re wondering if paying for professional services is the right way to go.

There is so much more to effective DJ services than just playing music. Here are five reasons you definitely want to get a professional DJ to work at your wedding or event:

1. Professionalism and experience

With SXSW 2020 right around the corner we decided to recap our award winning 2019 SXSW work in Austin, TX. (Yes, we just returned from the 2020 Texas Star Awards Gala in Houston put on by the ILEA Houston Chapter where we won Best Entertainment Under $25,000 for our work described below!) We worked about 15 events but our largest of SXSW 2019 was 9 days in a row helping promote the new Visible cell phone brand.

We were hired by an advertising agency out of New York City to create a studio recording experience inside a custom made building that was on 3 sides transparent ("visible"). Spacecraft Entertainment provided all the instruments, backline, microphones, karaoke tracks, video screens, lighting, AV equipment, recording software, and staffing. Our crown jewel was the process to deliver recording on a fun cassette tape USB...
