The Beginning of a Passion for Events
In his own words, Daniel Longfellow has “always been the A/V nerd in school.” He hosted band practices at his house in high school, learning how to properly hook up all the amps. He also volunteered as a DJ at school dances. Dan was always taking any opportunity to learn more. Eventually, he realized that people thought he was talented, trusted him, and wanted him to be at their events. This revelation led him to jumpstart his career in the events industry. He worked for a few hotel A/V teams for nearly a decade, gathering lots of knowledge and experience. In 2017, he transitioned to a smaller production company where he felt he could really get to know the customers and develop relationships. Then, a moment occurred that changed everything for him. His wife convinced him to take the plunge on starting his own business. It had been something he’d always had in the back of his mind. When all the other kids had been drawing action figures and cartoons, Dan was drawing what his warehouse would look like. So, he bit the bullet and registered his company, AVLD Events, in May of 2019.
