Straight Street provides sound, lighting, staging, and video production for concerts, arena shows, and university and community events in Guelph.
Guelph is close to home — a short drive from our Cambridge base — so you get a partner who can walk your venue in person, plan around it properly, and be on site early on show day. From concert and figure-skating productions at the Sleeman Centre to university and community events at the University of Guelph’s Gryphon Athletic Centre and Field House, every event is supported by one transparent, all-in quote and a senior AV producer who manages it from load-in until the last guest leaves. Local doesn’t mean limited — the same experienced team that produces arena shows and major galas brings that standard to your event.

Client Proof
This year’s 2 shows were exceptional. Mike, the lighting technician, went above and beyond working with our artistic director to make each performance special… He worked with our volunteer, first-time spotlight operators. They performed like professionals.

Straight Answers
“You’re local — are you big enough for an arena show?”
Local and full-scale aren’t a trade-off. We produce arena concerts and figure-skating shows across the region, and scale down to a community event just as readily. The production scales; the standard doesn’t.
“We use volunteer spotlight operators.”
Perfect — we coach them. On the KW Skating Club shows our lighting tech worked with first-time volunteer spot operators until, in the club’s own words, “they performed like professionals.” You don’t need experienced crew of your own; we bring and guide it.
“The venue already has in-house AV.”
You can almost always bring your own partner, and it’s worth comparing. Our quote is all-in, and we help remove the venue’s markup on equipment — standard charges like rigging and power may still apply, and we’ll tell you which is which.
