What CDH Productions does

CDH Productions LLC is a privately held, full-service audiovisual production company headquartered in Clovis, California (Fresno area). Founded in 2007 by Chadwell Hopper, the company provides lighting, sound, and A/V production for corporate events, trade shows, concerts and live music events, theater productions, and permanent venue installations.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model: pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue generated through event production fees, equipment rentals, and custom permanent AVL installations. Go-to-market is direct sales and contact-driven, reaching enterprise and institutional clients across the western United States from the Bay Area through Southern California to Las Vegas. Channel presence is limited to the company website, Facebook, and Instagram, with no paid acquisition or partner channel infrastructure visible.

The company is founder-owned and founder-operated, with a lean team of named specialists covering lighting, video, rigging, audio, repairs, administration, and sales. The customer base is diversified across 15+ named logos spanning government (City of Fresno, Fresno County), education (Fresno State, Fresno Pacific University, University High School), healthcare (Saint Agnes, Fresno Madera Medical Association), manufacturing and trade (Fender, Intel, CMC, American DJ, NAMM, California Citrus Mutual), marketing (JCS Marketing), and nonprofit (Fresno Mission). No funding rounds, M&A activity, or external institutional investors are disclosed, and the firm generates no AI-driven or software-defined revenue layer beyond streaming and recording services.
