our story

VIP is a culmination of 71+ years of industry experience that started with two people passionate about sound and lighting: Troy Reit and George Lathrop. George started Silhouette Lighting and Staging selling lights in his garage, and Troy started in high school running sound on a couple Radio Shack mixers. Humble beginnings for sure, but through hard work and perseverance they became the top lighting and audio companies in Spokane!

In 2014, Troy envisioned a company that could offer broad audio and visual services, while George was looking to retire and pass the torch. The stars aligned and VIP Production NW was born. Now, years later, we continue to reinvent ourselves by implementing new technologies to manage our services and enhance our customer experience, upgrade and expand our inventory, and increase our partnerships with local businesses and customers alike.
