Our Story

Shannon McQuade and Dana Nitti - Owners


We met in 2016 while working at sister event production companies in San Diego, California. We immediately became friends, as we both shared a common passion for creating memorable events and a goal of one day starting our own event companies. When COVID-19 hit, and the event, tourism, and hospitality industries were paused, we were left wondering what the future held and if, just maybe, this was the right time to start thinking about venturing out on our own. While the country was on lockdown, we used the time to brainstorm ideas for the future, and SD Event Production and Celebration of Life Events was born!
