EXCELLENT Based on 20 reviews Posted on Cal HoogTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team is great - phone from Vancouver day before event when location couldn't verify what we'd be able to get. PAW as able to provide last minute support and everyone I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Small hiccup on pickup but resolved quickly and I was on my way with instructions on how to use the equipment.Posted on Shelby WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kevin and the team at Pacific Audio Works were part of the reason that our event was a huge success! The team was professional and efficient with load in and out and we definitely felt that we were in good hands. Will not hesitate in using them again for our future events.Posted on Phillip WasheimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great friendly intelligent staff who always gets the job done right the first time around. Competitive prices, and the equipment is outstanding.Posted on Justin Curran (Vicengineer)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent professional audio shop, they custom manufactured a microphone cable for me to be used with a wireless recorder. The price was reasonable and the turn around time was prompt. Superior product to what I would have received using Long & McQuade or Amazon since both needed adapters.Posted on Jamieson AlexanderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came across this business when I was in search of microphones for my zoom wedding. I was just going to go to Long & McQuade but the service I got from Pacific Audio Works was phenomenal!! I got an email from an associate right away and within a couple of hours I got a more in-depth email from one of their associates named Jason C. and he is the reason why I went with PAW. He was personable and he knew his audio! He was respectful in explaining everything to me and I appreciate that as most tech people talk down to the customers but here at PAW they treat you like a person!! Jason was quick to respond through email and he helped me understand and feel confident in making the zoom wedding successful!Posted on Kaeley JefferyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great - I highly recommend. I had a unique and unexpected event and PAW put together a beautiful and functional set up with microphones, sound and lighting with a few days notice. They were very fair with pricing, their staff were helpful, knowledgeable and very friendly. The day went better than I could have hoped. Thank you!
