 Ag-Bag-Drag, 2011
 

Hi Bill, Just a quick note of thanks to you and the crew for your fine work at our recent performance for the U of S students' big Ag-Bag-Drag event. As a six piece live band performing in a large, packed venue with naturally poor acoustic qualities we really rely on the sound crew to pull it together quickly to deliver our sound the very best it can be, out front for our fans. You did a great job. And please share our thanks with your crew too. They are a professional team, you can hear it, see it, and they really add to the pleasure of the event. Thanks again! Lisa, Bullrush

Hey Bill and crew!

Thank you for your professionalism, yet easy-going approach to handling our outdoor venue, Rock the Mount. I especially appreciated your thoroughness and desire to bring our desires to the forefront and turn up the end result 10 notches beyond what we wanted. You read the crowd well, and handled with ease the added pressure of a few wrinkles thrown at you by us. Kudos, Andrew, on the mix and sound checks and ironing them out!
Heard lots of good things about you prior, and will pass on my recommendations. It was a pleasure working with you.

Best regards,

Hi Bill,
We've been doing business for many years with Night Owl Audio and they've always been really professional. This year was no different; the guys came on time, they understood our need and we were able to deliver quite a show thanks to their involvement. No doubt that next time we need technical sounds and services, we'll deal with them.

Prairie Party Planners: 2007-2011 -Mock Wedding -Real Irish Riot -Monster Mash

Hi Bill: 

Thanks a lot for the Mock Wedding gig.  My band and I think that you guys are first class people.  What I mean by that is; you told us to be there at a certain time for sound check/set up, and sure as hell your boys were ready on time for us.  Plus there was no "bitching" from your crew, no matter what we wanted - more monitors, or "what-evers" - you and your guys were very professional working with us. We've done some pretty BIG shows in the past with BIG sound, and I think you guys rate right up there with the "big boys"!  You're very good at it, plus we heard a lot of good things about the front production from other people that were there.  So thanks again, and keep rockin!

Volunteer Recognition Gala,  April 10th, 2011

Hi Bill,

The Saskatoon Health Region recently hosted their annual event for Volunteer Recognition at Prairieland Park. Every three years we host a large gala for the whole region. The theme this year was "Volunteers Create Magic" and we had over 400 volunteers in attendance.

Night Owl Entertainment was hired as our sound and lighting supplier for the event. They brought in and supplied top quality sound, lighting and staff to enhance our event so that when the volunteers came into the venue they were "wowed".

The staff and management of Night Owl Entertainment were very accommodating, offering suggestions on how to maximize the lighting for our decor and providing some extras that helped tie the theme and decor all together.

If you require any professional music, sound and/or lighting for your event, I would recommend this company!

Yours truly,

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure was held on October 3,2010 and Night Owl Entertainment supplied the sound system for the event.  It was the first year Bill had worked with us and it was a pleasure.  Night Owl Entertainment staff were very professional and extremely easy to work with.  They were at the site late Saturday night to make sure everything was ready to go on Sunday morning.  Everything went very well and we will definately have Night Owl Entertainment at our event next year.

I would highly recommend Night Owl Entertainment for you next event.

Dope Show!  You upped the quality of our performances - not by overshadowing, but by enhancing our dancers!  Just what we wanted.

Hi Bill,

I had the pleasure of working with Night Owl at the CIBC Run for the Cure.  As someone who works with different production crews, and different sound technicians each and every weekend, I feel confident in saying that Bill and the crew at Night Owl are the cream of the crop.  They are very friendly and courteous (which seems to be rare in this industry), and provide high quality and professional production and lighting.  I will definitely work with Night Owl again.  I recommend you give them a call for your event.  You won't be disappointed...

Dear Bill:

Some time has passed since my episcopal ordination and each day I reflect back with gratitude for all the people who made it such a joyous and special celebration. You are among those people.

As I reflect on my ordination and my new role as Bishop I give thanks to God for the many blessings I recieved through the efforts of people I have come to know and cherish.

I realize this thank you is somewhat belated, however, I do want to express my sincere and profound gratitude for the great gift your help and your presence was to me. Thank you for what you contributed to the ordination itself and the events surrounding it, particularly through your audio expertise. Your efforts were a blessing to the diocese and to me.

Donald Bolen

Bishop of Saskatoon.

Ms. Terri Rau, President

Dear Bill;

On behalf of the Executive and members of the Saskatoon Caribbean-Canadian Cultural Association (SCCCA), we would like to say a big "Thank You" for working with our pavilion this year during Folkfest 2010.

We were thrilled to have the quality of entertainment service that you, your staff and your high quality equipment provided us as we entertained almost 30,000 patrons during Folkfest. We feel you went out of your way to help us ensure a successful event. We appreciate throwing in the bubble machine to enhance our theme, "Under the Sea."

We can honestly say that our pavilion could not have been as successful without your expertise and great staff. The sound quality was amazing and we have already decided that we would like to continue this relationship and level of sound quality for our patrons next year.

I would be very pleased to recommend your services to anyone looking for a quality Entertainment Service Provider.

Thank you again!

St. Denis Centennial - July 23rd to July 25th 2010

We are very happy with your professionalism in meeting the needs of the multiple facets of this three-day event. You found the equipment necessary to make our evening concerts and plays a success, ensuring that all could enjoy it.

Our musicians and actors appreciated the sound knowledge you provided them. Your music choices suited the group and made the Saturday night dance exceptional.

Thank you very much for your readiness and willingness to accommodate our needs with your flexible support throughout the weekend. I am very happy with the weekends results and recommend that all try your services to ensure the success of their event.

"Night Owl provided an excellent service at a very good price.  They provided us with quality equipment, arrived with it on time, and set it up quickly and efficiently.  They were able to accommodate all of the acts we had, from singing, to guitars, keyboards, a violin, a four person rock band, and even a group of break dancers.  We were very happy with their service, and will almost certainly have them out again."

Saskatoon Catholic Diocese, Episcopal Ordination, March 2010:

Our committee was most happy with the professional service provided by Night Owl Audio for the episcopal ordination of Saskatoon’s Catholic bishop March 25, 2010. Bringing in additional equipment in an efficient and timely manner, the Night Owl Audio professionals ensured quality sound for the 1300 people attending this important event in the life of our diocese. The liturgy required multiple microphones, as well as balancing the sounds of three choirs, a smaller singing group, and a number of musicians. We greatly appreciated how well the Night Owl team worked with volunteers, and ensured that the sound requirements during all parts of the liturgy were addressed.

 I can confidently say that HuskieOpen 2010 was the best cheerleading competition Saskatchewan has ever seen!  We have been running this competition for over a decade and with Night Owl we again raised the bar.  Bill and Evan were nothing but professional allowing our team to focus on the competition knowing the sound and presentation was taken care of.  Thanks for a great show Bill, start thinking about next year: Bigger and Better!

Canadian Technical Asphalt Association, 2008:

Dear Bill,

As you are aware, we recently concluded the 53rd annual CTAA conference in Saskatoon.  This year's even attracted 360 delegates and 35 accompanying guests from Canada, USA, and other countries, as well as 49 students.

Thank you very much for working with us to create a "Saskatchewan Folk Fest at Boomtown" evening for the welcome reception on November 16th - we have gotten overwhelmingly positive feedback on the event, especially on the quality of the stage show performances, and we could not have done it without your assistance!  The lights and sound were very well set up and managed, and we were pleased to have the performances carried out smoothly under your supervision.  Please pass our thanks on to the rest of your staff who contributed to this event.

We are certain the attendees left the conference not only with increased awareness of current asphalt technology issues, but also with fond memories of Saskatchewan hospitality.  Thank you very much for contributing your services to this event - your professional approach and delivery were essential to our success as organizers.

Yours truly,

Ania M. Anthony and Blaine Morian,

The music service of choice for the
2006 Saskatchewan Winter Games!

"As the Chairperson for 'Village Entertainment' for the 2006 Saskatchewan Winter Games, I asked that Night Owl provide music services for two athlete socials to be held in the Village.  Night Owl was also asked to perform sound and video services for the opening and closing ceremonies at the Games.   Night Owl communicated thoroughly with both committees and provided excellent sound for all venues and strong video support for the opening and closing ceremonies.  The crew were punctual and flexible which was very important during an event like the Winter Games when set-up times are dictated by the sports events that precede the socials and ceremonies."
