What Southeast Elite Entertainment, Llc does

Southeast Elite Entertainment, LLC is a privately held entertainment booking and production company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, serving primarily the Southeast United States with a concentration in the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning talent booking, full event production, equipment rentals, and technician staffing under one roof, marketed through three core product lines: Elite Artists (a vetted roster of 100+ musicians, bands, and DJs), Elite Production (staging, lighting, LED walls, and A/V for outdoor concerts, indoor conferences, and city events), and Managed Elite Entertainment Programs (recurring entertainment programs with dedicated account representatives for venues). The supporting technology layer is the proprietary Gigz Manager mobile app, used internally by the management team for client communication, scheduling, and event coordination; the app is not marketed as an external product but underpins the company's service-delivery workflow.

The go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer via the company website, phone, and email, augmented by dedicated account representatives for venue and recurring-program clients. The company's customer base is diversified across SMB and mid-market hospitality verticals — country clubs, golf clubs, wineries, taverns, restaurants, and hotels — including multi-location accounts such as Hobnob and McCray's Tavern. Revenue is generated through professional services fees for artist booking and production, hardware rentals and LED panel sales, and recurring managed-program contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The leadership team comprises CEO David McPherson, COO/CFO Sarah McPherson, CMO Noah Cothern, and VP Tommy McNulty, supported by production managers, an event coordinator, and an entertainment ambassador. There is no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and no parent company, suggesting an owner-operated, organically funded operating model.
