We wouldn’t dream of doing a special event without the capable, efficient and smart folks at PDA. Whenever we have a lighting or sound challenge - they always find the best solution. Jeff Nickles and the PDA team are “can-do!” Plus, they are fun to work with.

Anne Lee
Executive Director, Darkness to Light

PDA’s idea to light up Fort Sumter was perfect in that it was appropriate, sensitive, and cost effective. I have nothing but admiration for the PDA staff. They were professional, efficient, and more than willing to answer my questions. There is no other company holds our esteem, our trust, and our alliance as Production Design Associates.

Chair, Sesquicentennial Committee - Fort Sumter - Fort Moultrie Historical Trust

I have had the pleasure of working with PDA on 12 events which attracted media personalities and congressional and political leaders, including a wide field of presidential candidates. With such high profile events, a dependable, professional audio visual team is absolutely vital to the success of the event. The team at PDA has always exhibited an exemplary work ethic, doing what it takes to get the job done... with a smile, and working as a team with staging companies on tight turnarounds. Thank you for being a company I want to have as part of my show team year after year!

PDA has been a partner of the BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival® since its inception, and what they bring to the table is invaluable. They are on top of every detail, they collectively problem solve, even in areas that are not theirs, and always go the extra mile happily. They work hand in hand with our event planners in ensuring a spectacular event by bringing each of the events and it’s décor to life through light, and video. Over the years we have become a family and I would recommend them to everyone.

Randi Weinstein
Events + Logistics Manager, BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival®

PDA has been my preferred vendor for lighting and sound on projects large and small including Piccolo Spoleto, Charleston Fashion Week, Charleston Food + Wine, Cowboy Couture and the Darkness to Light Gala. The PDA team is professional, creative and hard working. They work well under pressure and meet the deadline. PDA takes pride in offering innovative solutions and seeks to meet the needs of the project rather than trying to rent you one of everything in the warehouse. If you are looking for professional service coupled with integrity and a top notch team, PDA is your best option.

We have used PDA for a number of years now, and we always know we can count on them to deliver. They have the experience and inventory to handle anything we throw at them - from unique staging challenges, to full production for our VIP parties and everything in between. Simply put - we trust them to make us look good - and they do.
