"Alley-O Productions is an awesome production company to work with. Joel’s flexibility, integrity and honesty made our product come to life. Thanks to Joel, I never have to worry about the quality of the sound design, the professionalism it’s delivered with or the ideas that he comes up with in the moment, I can completely trust him and that it’s all going to turn out awesome. This year, he even helped us film a short reel to advertise to our audience. Fabulous service all around!"

"Alley-O Productions is a highly recommended top-drawer sound technician. Joel brought my middle school band and choral concert to a new level of professionalism this past Spring. The greatest aspect of having Joel take care of our sound was that I didn’t have to spend an ounce of energy thinking about it! His goal was to ‘make the kids sound great’ by providing MC mics, solo mics, choral overhead mics, and music for the audience upon their arrival. We received positive feedback following the show with regards to how Alley-O’s sound was able to elevate our performances. To boot, Joel is a kind and gracious human to work with!"

For the past eight years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Alley-O Productions on numerous occasions, and every experience has been excellent. I have hired Alley-O for live sound engineering in a variety of settings—including jazz bands, solo vocalists, and concert choirs. In addition, I’ve greatly benefited from the outstanding work they’ve done in recording and professionally mixing my ensembles.
I’ve also witnessed their exceptional work with vocal jazz groups, theatre productions, and musical theatre. One of the key strengths of Alley-O is the expertise of its owner, Joel, who is not only a highly skilled sound engineer but also an accomplished professional musician. His musical background gives him a unique edge in balancing ensembles and showcasing tone quality in a way that truly elevates each performance.
Alley-O Productions is consistently reliable, incredibly knowledgeable, and always delivers exceptional service.
