As one of the oldest and largest audio visual companies in South Carolina, PDA offers not only the very best in service and value, but in experience. That means a great deal in a historic city with many restrictions. Who lit Fort Sumter for the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War? PDA. Who lit the Ravenel Bridge when it opened 14 years ago? PDA. Who has handled ALL of the lighting needs for the Charleston Wine + Food Festival? PDA. Who provides the lighting for the College of Charleston's Charleston Affair, the largest private cocktail party in the history of Charleston? PDA. When everyone else was going high tech, owner Jeff Nickles went old school, developing a props department, now offering decorative and functional elements for his clients. With high ethical standards being a key part of his business model, Nickles also helped to start the Charleston chapter of what is now ILEA, the International Live Events Association. I would highly recommend the PDA to produce any event. read more
