The No-Stress Event Guarantee

Three promises, in writing, on every contract.

The Uptime Promise

If our booth goes down for more than 15 minutes at your event, your entire digital gallery package is free. We bring backup gear to every event.

The Design Promise

You approve every template, overlay, and welcome screen before your event. If you don't love it, we redesign it. Unlimited revisions, no charge.

The On-Time Promise

We're set up and ready 30 minutes before your event starts, or we take $100 off your final invoice. No excuses.

Two owners. No subcontractors.

The people who built your package are the people standing at your booth. We don't send strangers.

Max 8–10 events per month.

Peak-season Saturdays in Austin (March–November) typically book 60+ days out. A $250 retainer holds your date for 7 days.
