84 West Events

What 84 West Events does

84 West Events is a privately-held, family-owned full-service event planning and production company headquartered in Davie, Florida, founded in 1979 by Jeff Greene and now co-led with his wife Debbi Greene. The company designs, produces, and coordinates celebrations end-to-end across four primary verticals: weddings, corporate events, non-profit events, and social events (including bar/bat mitzvahs, quinceañeras, sweet 16s, proms, and private parties), serving clients across the South Florida corridor from Naples and Fort Myers through Miami. Its core service offering spans DJ and MC entertainment, professional photography and HD videography, custom lighting design, event decor and floral design, photo and video booths, and interactive activations such as game shows, LED robots, and 360-degree booths.

Operationally, the company runs on a sales-led, direct-to-client model: prospective customers reach the team through a website quote request form, inbound phone calls to (954) 236-9000, or email to [email protected], after which the company provides free consultations and custom quotes. Revenue is generated entirely on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model, with pricing varying by event scope, guest count, services selected, and customization level rather than standardized published tiers. The company complements its human-delivered services with a small technology layer centered on SpotMyPhotos, a proprietary real-time photo delivery system branded as a sub-brand, which pushes event photos to guests via text and email into private galleries without requiring an app.

The business is structured around long-tenured vendor and venue relationships across the South Florida market, an in-house content library of 30+ activations, and an industry reputation anchored by 46+ years of operating history, 20,000+ executed events, and 17+ consecutive years of wedding industry awards. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and operates with 11-50 employees from a single Davie, FL headquarters. Notable operational pivots include the 2020 launch of virtual graduation ceremonies during COVID-19 and Jeff Greene's co-founding of The Live Events Coalition in partnership with Florida International University's Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism.
