Welcome to PDA, Production Design Associates!

PDA is a full service lighting, audio, visual and special effects provider specializing in state of the art productions and installations. We’re the people that put together the spectacular lighting, dramatic stage designs, impressive sound systems, and the special effects that make you say “wow.” Based in Charleston, South Carolina since 1991, we service events across the globe and serve an extraordinary range of clients. From presidents of corporations to the President of the United States, PDA is the first name in technical production and installations.

PDA consists of five divisions — Show Production, Sales, Installations, Video Production and Repair. Our inventory includes a large and comprehensive array of conventional and intelligent lighting, a broad spectrum of audio gear that ranges from powered speakers to concert sound, and a variety of sets and staging. Our state of the art CAD design suite provides a visual representation of an event or installation before it happens. From the first consultation all the way through to the completion of a project, PDA professionals work to deliver creativity and consistency. Our attention to detail, our ongoing investment into the latest high-tech equipment and digital effects, and most importantly our highly-skilled technicians and creative designers assure that every event and installation makes its mark with excellence. While large events and installations are no problem for PDA, the company also offers equipment and services to small and medium-sized projects. Whether you need to pick up a small sound system for your wedding reception or a full production for your company’s annual meeting, we’re the ones to call.
