Planning an event in Crested Butte, Gunnison, or the surrounding Colorado mountain communities? Tell BlackLine Entertainment what you’re working on.
Start With the Event
Tell Us About Your Event
Whether you already know exactly what equipment you need or you’re still trying to figure out the technical side of the event, start with the basic details.
What is the event? Where is it happening? When is it happening? How many people are attending? What needs to happen? We’ll start there.
You don’t need to understand every technical detail before contacting us.
Tell Us About Your Event
- Exactly how many speakers you need
- Which mixing console is appropriate
- How many stage monitors the band requires
- Which lighting fixtures should be used
- Whether the event needs subwoofers
- How to interpret every line of an artist rider
That’s what the planning process is for. Give us the information you have and BlackLine can start determining which services may be appropriate.

The Process
What Happens After You Request a Quote?
01
Send the Event Details
Complete the quote form with as much information as you currently have — date, venue, location, attendance, event type, services needed and any special requests.
02
Review the Requirements
BlackLine reviews the event details and determines what additional information may be needed, including riders, stage plots, PA requirements and venue specifications.
03
Build the Production Quote
Once the requirements are understood, the appropriate equipment and production needs can be identified and priced.
04
Confirm the Event
Altitude, weather, power and access all behave differently up here. We plan for the Gunnison Valley, not a generic venue.
05
Delivery & Setup
Equipment is coordinated around the event schedule and production requirements, then set up and dialed in for the space.
06
The Show
The equipment, planning and preparation come together when the event begins.
07
Strike
After the event, equipment is broken down and removed according to the agreed production schedule.
The Show Must Go On.
The Process
What Happens After You Request a Quote?
Sound Equipment Rentals
Get the audio equipment your production requires without compromising on sound quality — for concerts, festivals, private events and live productions.
PA & Audio Gear Rentals
Great sound starts with the right PA system — from smaller private events to ballrooms, outdoor events, concerts and professional stages.
Event & Stage Lighting
Lighting changes how an event feels before the first note is played — for concerts, festivals, weddings, galas and corporate gatherings.
Backline Equipment Rentals
When musicians arrive, their equipment needs to be ready. Backline rental for touring artists, local musicians, festivals, venues and producers.
Wedding Audio Production
Your guests should hear the vows, the speeches and the music — for ceremonies, receptions and mountain wedding venues.
You Know the Event. We'll Start With That.
A bride shouldn’t have to know how many powered speakers a ceremony needs. An event planner shouldn’t need to understand every backline specification. A private client shouldn’t need to know the difference between a powered speaker and a line-array system before reaching out.
And if a touring artist has already done the technical planning? Send us the rider.
You tell us the event. We'll talk about the production.

The BlackLine Philosophy
Your Production Starts Before Show Day
A successful production begins with preparation. That’s why BlackLine wants the details early.
The venue. The audience. The artist. The sound. The lighting. The equipment. The timing. The things that can be planned. And the things that can’t.
“There are so many factors in a production. You can always bet that things will change, go wrong, or not work out as planned. That’s where you have to dig deep, pay attention, and make it happen.”
“The show must go on!”
