Special Event Audio Services officially began in 1993 and was created by Mitch and Leslie Grant. Mitch had been doing sound professionally since 1973, while Leslie had extensive office management experience in the medical field. By combining their skills and experience, they formed a company that soon became highly regarded in Southern California for providing excellent event production services at reasonable costs.

Currently, the company retains the services of several of San Diego's best sound and lighting technicians, and stocks an extensive inventory of state-of-the-art audio, lighting, and backline equipment. S.E.A.S. provides equipment and services for hundreds of shows each year... from the intimate upscale private party to the large corporate event or concert.
