Client Testimonials

PRODUCTION

"Ever since our Innovators event on August 13, I have been trying to form (in my mind) the thank you note I need to write to you. I’m still trying, and as more time passes, I must simply put fingers to keyboard, and say how awesome you guys were/are. “Everyone loved the event” seems so polite and well, average. Typical. Of course they loved it!!"

"But it really was THE BEST, not only because of your cool toys and equipment, top notch production, inspiring videography, and our partnering to show it all off during the Innovators of the Year event (how cool is that! well Duh!) But mostly because of your continued professionalism and amazing customer service. Todd St.Onge is THE MAN! in my book!! As a one person department this event seriously was a tremendous challenge for me. But Todd’s never wavering reassurance that all was ok, no worries, all good…got me through it. Kevin and Victoria were great to work with on the videos, Nicole was awesome checking in to see if she could be of any help (even though I know she had her hands full with your own event the next night!!) Your entire team was there for us (The Business Journal, your clients) but even more importantly, you guys were all there for me when I needed to know someone had my back. You guys are THE BEST. And I am grateful. THANK YOU!"

“I am a huge raving fan of PDA lighting and sound. They always come through with a quality program – from the initial proposal stages which are thorough and always on budget, to the execution with the most professional and friendly staff. Additionally, the PDA staff always makes me feel as though I am their only focus – no matter what size the program. PDA also does a fantastic job keeping new product and ideas in front of us. I would unconditionally recommend PDA for any job that requires attention to detail, professional services using the best and most up-to-date technology, and unsurpassed service standards.”

“It is not often that we have the opportunity to work with such creative individuals who are so professional and easy to work with. Not only are you personally and professionally wonderful to work with, but your lighting is also consistently stunning and complements and showcases the décor and the venue perfectly. Your technical expertise is also at an incredibly high level and you constantly amaze us by incorporating the newest technology into your plans.”

From The Post and Courier – The Bridge Lighting
“I thought I had seen it all until the sun went down. As the evening grew dark, the bridge diamonds lit up and slowly changed colors. I was unprepared for this, and in awe, I watched as they fused, fuchsia brilliantly turning to purple, and then fusing into yellow, lime green, steel blue, orange…Hats off to the organizers…I assume a small army of dedicated people helped pull off the most magical event of the year.”

Barbara Julius, Sullivan’s Island S.C.

DESIGN & INSTALLATION

“PDA is a trusted local partner for all our audio/video installations. I’ve always been pleased with their adaptability and flexibility when it comes to servicing our organization’s requests. It’s nice having someone able to design a system specific to your exact requirements. PDA has done an excellent job of working around obstacles, and getting the job done.”

William Brandt

“The sales department and staff at PDA are top notch. I really consider them a partner in what I'm doing instead of just a supplier of equipment.  Their professional, yet personal approach makes all the difference; it's great to work with someone who's as passionate about my project as I am. “

“Not only did your company provide high-end equipment for the meeting, but also valuable technical assistance as well…The experience was brought to life with a level of professionalism and style never before seen at the University. The meeting was a total success, due to the fact that PDA has great people and the right equipment to effectively get the point across. Thank you again for being an organization of great people who care and put forth their best efforts, even for little old Baptist College…”
