A Legacy of People and Passion in Event Technology
Founded in 2017 by Chris and Cassandra McDonald, Radiant Live Events was born under the name DPAV(Atlanta) from a shared vision: to create a company that would truly prioritize its people.
After years of working within the event production industry in both Florida and Atlanta, Chris and Cassandra recognized a desire in them to build a company that valued its contractors not as just employees but as family where every team member would feel respected, supported, and empowered.
The People-First Philosophy
At the heart of Radiant is a culture of passion, collaboration, and servant leadership. The team is composed of individuals who are not only experts in event technology but who are also driven by a shared mission to bring others' visions to life in live environments.
The company's culture is one of equipping, training, and constant support—an environment where both employees and contractors feel like an integral part of the company's success.
What’s Next for Radiant?
Looking to the future, Radiant is committed to sustainable growth, intentional project selection, and a continued focus on supporting people. The goal is to create an environment where team members and clients alike can rely on Radiant as a trusted, stable partner for years to come. With plans to further streamline operations and improve equipment systems, Radiant aims to remain at the forefront of the live event production industry, delivering excellence at every turn.
At its core, Radiant is more than just a production company—it's a community. The company has always been focused on providing quality service at a fair price, creating long-lasting relationships built on trust, respect, and shared success. As Radiant looks forward, the hope is that the story of the company will be one of a lasting impact on both the industry and the lives of the people it has touched.
The company’s vision for the future is clear: continue to build a sustainable, people-centered business that supports and encourages team members to follow their passions through live events.
