How we list companies

Plain rules, applied the same way to every company: who gets listed, what each label means, how lists are ordered and what we don't check.

Who's included

Companies with a base in Georgia, meaning a headquarters, office or warehouse in the state, that supply professional live production for events: concerts, festivals, tours, corporate meetings, conventions, galas, and church, school and arena events. That covers:

  • Audio and PA
  • Lighting
  • Live video and LED walls, including cameras, screens and projection for events
  • Staging and rigging
  • Backline
  • Touring production
  • Full-service production companies
  • Crew companies that supply stagehands (companies only, not individual freelancers)

Who's not

Related isn't the same as relevant. These businesses work around events, but they aren't production companies, so they stay off the list:

  • Event planners and coordinators
  • DJs and entertainers
  • Party rentals such as tents, tables, chairs and linens
  • Photo booths, photographers and wedding or marketing videographers
  • Film, TV and commercial production companies
  • Venues and caterers
  • Permanent AV installers that don't rent and run gear for events

How a listing is built

  1. We start from public business records and industry sources, such as business listings, trade directories and venue vendor lists.
  2. We keep Georgia-based companies that do live event production, and drop duplicates and anything out of scope.
  3. We read each company's own website for its services, the events it works and how to reach it.
  4. Anything we can't confirm is marked “No info yet — call and ask.” We'd rather leave a gap than guess.

What the labels mean

  • Verified: someone at Georgia Event Production has checked the company directly, beyond its website.
  • Website confirmed: the company's own website confirms the services we list.
  • No info yet — call and ask: we couldn't confirm that detail from public sources. It doesn't mean the company lacks it.
  • Based in, Works, Travels: where the company is based and, when it says so, the parts of Georgia it works in.
  • Google ratings: ratings are Google's, shown with the review count, the date we checked and a link to the Google listing. They're not our ratings.
  • Illustration: the photo on each company page shows event production in general, not that company's work.

How city pages work

A city gets its own page once three or more listed companies are based there. Companies in smaller towns appear on the nearest city page, and each city page says which towns it includes. Where no city page is close, the largest town nearby gets a page of its own. Neighborhoods inside Atlanta show both names, like “Buckhead, Atlanta.”

How lists are ordered

By Google rating weighted by review count, so a high rating from a handful of reviews doesn't jump ahead of a strong rating from many. Companies without a rating follow, website-confirmed first, then A to Z.

Nobody pays for a listing or for position.

What we don't check

We don't verify licenses, insurance or the quality of anyone's work, and a listing is not an endorsement. Before you book, ask for a certificate of insurance and an itemized quote.

Corrections and claims
