We Are Elite
A Letter From Our CEO
We are a privately-owned young and resourceful company, and we have the ability to make anything happen – big or small. We’re passionate about going the extra mile for our clients, and we believe it is what sets us apart in this industry. Anyone can have the right equipment, but creating a seamless experience is what matters most. I’m proud of the work our team has accomplished, and we look forward to continuing to bring excellence to every event we produce.
ANGELIA PATTY, CEO OF ELITE
Elite history
When our founder, Jeremy Byrd, launched Elite in 2009, we knew we would disrupt the industry. Equipped with more than 15 years in the AV space, Byrd saw a shift in the industry and pivoted from a previous House of Worship based production company into a multi-industry full-service company providing turn-key solutions for entertainment and corporate clients. Over the last 10 years, we’ve toured the country with some of the biggest names in music, crafted show stopping events for Fortune 500 companies, and staked our name as one of the most reputable groups in the industry.
In 2020, we turned our attention to the Elite Virtual Event Lab, a full service studio right in the heart of our Nashville office created for live streaming of closed meetings, product showcases, TV and commercials, live performances, or brand activations. We partnered with two outdoor live event locations to host some of the region's first COVID-safe live music events, creating sold out experiences and forging a safe path forward in our industry. That’s what we’ll always continue to do: push boundaries and challenge industry norms so that we can provide the best possible experience for our clients. Our mission has always been to provide exceptional production services for our clients, so that they’re able to create unforgettable experiences for themselves. And we’re just getting started!
