The first building blocks of Event Architects were laid in the mid-to-late 1990s, long before there was a company name to put on an invoice. Event Architects, Inc. was officially incorporated in 2004. Jeff Smith joined the company in 2012 with hopes of expanding its reach, became a partner in 2015, and fully acquired the business in 2017. Since then, our warehouse and office space has quadrupled in size, our inventory has grown to mammoth quantities, and our resources and capabilities have grown right along with them. Along the way, we acquired AV Technica in 2019 and the iconic Munday & Collins AV in 2020.
Through all of it, our culture hasn’t changed: quality over quantity, a persistently detailed approach to production, and a customer-centric way of doing business. Today, that culture is carried out by nearly 20 full-time staff and hundreds of freelance professionals who make every event happen. Our team is a mix of thinkers, builders, problem-solvers, and doers, and what holds it together is a shared passion for the work, the kind of combination that makes the end result better than any one person could deliver alone.
