DJ Equipment Rental in Los Angeles, CA
DJ gear, speakers, lighting, and staging for rent in downtown LA. Since 1992.
Hollywood DJ rents DJ equipment, PA speakers, wireless mics, lighting, line arrays, truss, and staging from our showroom and warehouse at 934 E 11th St in downtown Los Angeles. Rent for a day, a weekend, a week, or a month, pick it up downtown or have it delivered anywhere in the LA area, and if you decide to keep what you rented, the rental fee comes off the price.
Written quote usually the same business day. You'll usually get someone who's run the gear themselves.
Allan and his crew have been renting gear to LA's working DJs, event producers, and venues for 33+ years. Want to hear what a pair of speakers actually does in a room, or see how a moving head looks, before it ships to your wedding? Come by the showroom, we'll fire it up.

How renting works
- Tell us about your event. Date, venue, head count, what you're trying to do. Submit the rental inquiry form or call 1-800-700-4542. Last-minute events are possible. Last-minute events with a week's notice are a lot easier.
- We build the package. We size the PA and lighting to the room and the crowd, suggest alternatives if your first pick isn't free that weekend, and confirm pricing in writing.
- Demo and reserve. Come by the showroom to hear the speakers and see the lighting in action. Put down a deposit to lock in your dates.
- Pickup or delivery. Pick up at the warehouse during the 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM window. Or have it delivered. Setup support is available for larger events.
- Return. Bring everything back at the agreed time. If you decide to buy what you rented instead, mention it and we'll apply the credit.
What you need to rent
A valid government-issued photo ID, a credit or debit card in your name (or written authorization if you're using a company card), and a signed rental agreement. Higher-value packages may need a refundable deposit.
How much does it cost to rent DJ equipment?
It depends on the gear, your dates, how long you keep it, and whether we deliver. To give you a rough idea, here is what some recent rentals have run, before tax and delivery:

These are rough examples from rentals we've written since 2025. They are not quotes or current rates. Your price depends on the exact gear, your dates, how long you keep it, delivery, and what's available, and rental rates change over time. The price that counts is the written quote we send you, usually the same business day.
Pickup, delivery, and service area
Hollywood DJ
934 E 11th St, Los Angeles, CA 90021
Fashion District, ten minutes east of Downtown LA
Phone: 1-800-700-4542
Showroom hours: Monday through Saturday, 10 AM to 5 PM. Closed Sunday.
Rental pickup window: 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We open pickup 30 minutes before the showroom and close 30 minutes before, so plan accordingly for Saturday events.
Delivery: Available on request throughout the LA area. Quoted by distance and equipment volume.
We rent and deliver throughout the greater LA area: Hollywood, West Hollywood, Downtown, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, Long Beach, and the San Fernando Valley. Orange County and the Inland Empire too, with a little advance notice. Pickup is at 934 E 11th St; delivery is on request and quoted per event.
Rent it. Like it. Keep it. Your rental fee comes off the purchase.
If you rent gear from us and decide afterward that you want to keep it, your rental fee credits toward the purchase price of that same item. You only pay the difference. It's a paid test drive of any controller, mixer, speaker, or lighting fixture we sell, including line array systems.
Mention it when you book or when you return the gear. We'll handle the math.
Line Array Rentals for Corporate Events, Concerts, and Large Venues
When the room is big and the sound has to reach the back wall clean, you rent a line array. We supply, deliver, and rig flown and ground-stacked array systems for corporate events, conferences, galas, product launches, concerts, festivals, and houses of worship across Los Angeles. This is the part of the catalog most rental shops in town can't touch.
We carry real array inventory from JBL, RCF, DAS Audio, QSC, dB Technologies, and LD Systems, plus the amplification, processing, rigging, and cabling to run it as a system instead of a pile of boxes. For an event planner or production company, that means one call instead of five.
Not sure what the room needs? Tell us the venue and the head count and we will spec the system for you. Allan and the team have been sizing PA for LA rooms since 1992, and we would rather talk you into the right rig than upsell you into too much.

Everything we rent
Speakers and PA, lighting, truss, staging, DJ gear, and the stands, cases, and cabling that tie it all together. If we sell it, there is a good chance we rent it.
DJ equipment
Pioneer DJ controllers, CDJ-3000 and CDJ-2000NXS2 club setups, DJM-series mixers, and turntables. Denon DJ standalone units, Rane battle mixers, Numark controllers, Allen & Heath Xone mixers.
Plus DJ booths, podiums, and facades, headphones, laptop stands, and the cabling that always seems to be the thing nobody brings.
Pro audio and PA
Powered loudspeakers and subs from QSC (the K Series workhorses), JBL, DAS Audio, and LD Systems. Shure wired and wireless mics, complete wireless systems, mixers, signal processors, DI boxes, and the cables nobody packs enough of.
Running a bigger room? See the line array systems above for concerts, corporate events, and houses of worship.
Lighting, truss, and staging
Chauvet DJ moving heads, washes, and effect lighting. ADJ wash lights, LED bars, and strobes. LED par cans, pixel effects, laser systems, hazers, fog machines, and cold spark machines.
Box truss and Global Truss segments, corners, and ground support. Staging, risers, and portable stage decks. Lighting stands, LED dance floors, spotlights, and follow spots. The downtown showroom has the largest permanent Chauvet DJ lighting display in the country, which means you can come in and see exactly how a fixture performs in a dark room before you commit.
Cases and transport
Odyssey flight cases and gear protection. ProX cases and live performance gear. Controller bags and soft cases for the things you'd rather not bang up on the way to a Saturday wedding.
Why rent from Hollywood DJ
This is a small list because most of it doesn't need a bullet point.
Allan is reachable. If your event is big or weird, ask for him. Family-owned since 1992 means the owner's name still goes on the signature.
Demo the gear before you commit. Speakers, lighting, truss, staging: if we rent it, you can come hear it and see it first. The Chauvet DJ display downstairs is the largest permanent one in the country, and the speaker floor is one of the few places in Southern California to audition BassBoss. Bring your DMX controller if you want. We can patch.
We've done bigger. National DJs, major productions, Nickelodeon. Your event will not faze us.
1,059+ Google reviews at 4.7 stars. Three decades of LA's DJ, event, and production scenes keep coming back. That's the kind of social proof that's hard to fake.
Pickup is downtown. Delivery is real. If you can't make it to 11th & Towne, we'll bring it to your venue and (for larger productions) set it up. Quoted by distance and equipment volume, not by guesswork.
Try before you buy is the real deal. Already mentioned. Worth repeating.

Can I apply my rental fee to a purchase?
Yes. If you decide to buy the equipment after renting it, your rental fee credits toward the purchase price of that same item. Mention it when you reserve or at return time and we'll handle the math. Available on most rental-eligible equipment we sell, including line array systems.
What do I need to rent equipment from Hollywood DJ?
A valid government-issued photo ID, a credit or debit card in your name (or written authorization if you're using a company card), and a signed rental agreement. Higher-value packages may need a refundable deposit.
Can I rent CDJ-3000s in Los Angeles?
Yes. We rent Pioneer CDJ-3000 players with a DJM-A9 mixer, the setup most club riders call for, plus all-in-ones like the Pioneer XDJ-RX3 and AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ, Technics turntables, and DJ controllers. Tell us what your rider asks for and we'll match it.
Do you rent uplighting and DJ lighting for weddings?
Yes. Battery-powered uplights, light bars like the Chauvet GigBAR, moving heads, LED tubes, and haze. You can see them running in our showroom before the event.
Do you rent wireless microphones?
Yes. Shure wireless handheld systems and Shure SM58 wired mics, for toasts, speeches, ceremonies, and MC work.
Do you rent DJ booths and tables?
Yes. Portable DJ facades from Headliner and ProX, Odyssey DJ booths, and DJ tables.
How far in advance should I reserve?
For weekends in wedding and prom season (April through October), two to four weeks out. For weekday events or smaller packages, a few days is usually fine. We'll do what we can for last-minute requests, but earlier is always better for gear selection.
Can I rent for just one day?
Yes. Single-day, weekend, weekly, and monthly rates are all available. Same-day pickup and same-day return is how most weddings and parties work.
Do you deliver and set up?
Delivery is available on request and priced by distance and equipment volume. On-site setup and tech support is available for larger productions. Call for a quote.
I've never operated this gear before. Can you show me how it works?
Yes. You can demo what you are renting in the showroom before the event, speakers and lighting both. Our team walks you through the basics at pickup, and we're reachable by phone during business hours if anything comes up.
What if something breaks during the event?
Call us. Normal wear is on us. If a piece of gear fails through no fault of yours, we'll work to swap it out or credit the rental. User-caused damage is spelled out in the rental agreement, no surprises.
Do you offer DJ services, or just the equipment?
We rent equipment and sell gear. If you need a DJ for the event itself, we can usually refer you to working professionals in our network who already use our gear.
Can I cancel my reservation?
Yes. Cancellation terms depend on how close to the rental date you cancel and whether the gear was reserved exclusively for your event. Call as soon as you know so we can free things up for other customers.
Do you have insurance options?
We offer a damage waiver on most packages. For high-value rentals (large line arrays, complex lighting rigs), proof of separate event insurance may be required. This gets spelled out in the rental agreement.
