What people ask before booking
How do we actually book Sheldon Universe for our event?
Reach out with your date, venue and a rough idea of the event — nothing needs to be finalized. You’ll get a discovery conversation and then an itemized quote and plan, usually within one business day. The full walkthrough is on our Contact page.
Do you only handle large festivals, or smaller events too?
Both — the same team produces intimate weddings and corporate galas as well as festival main stages for thousands. See Services for the full range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide both technical AV and live entertainment?
Yes. That is the whole point of Sheldon Universe — turnkey event production and entertainment together. Book the LED wall and the live band in one conversation, tuned to work as a single show.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario and produce events across Toronto and the GTA — including Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Aurora and Newmarket — and travel for the right project.
What size of events do you take on?
From intimate weddings and corporate galas to festival main stages in front of thousands. The workflow and the standard of production stay the same at every scale.
How do we get started, and how far in advance should we book?
Reach out with your event details and target date. We will have a discovery conversation, then come back with a plan, a creative direction and a budget. For festivals and concerts we recommend booking 3-6 months ahead; corporate and wedding AV can often be arranged faster.
