Callisto Sound & Lighting

Our Story

After more than a decade of combined experience working in the production industry in New Orleans and becoming enmeshed in the festival production industry there, we set our sights on the larger Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. The years of working events like the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (JazzFest), VOODOO Fest, BUKU Music and Arts Festival, French Quarter Festival and countless other events in the New Orleans area have taught us lessons that can only be learned by experience.

We chose Dallas, TX as the home for our newfound company as Dallas is the home of one of our founders, Victoria Knight. Our other founder, Randy Rivero, originally hails from Puerto Rico. Both our founders come from two different musical worlds. Victoria trained and worked in the classical music world playing violin, piano, and working as a vocalist. Randy trained as a drummer and guitarist in the latin and rock worlds.

Due to our interest in astronomy, we decided that the name Callisto, inspired by one of the Galilean moons of Jupiter, would be a great fit for the company. The name Callisto (Kallist in Greek mythology) means "most beautiful," so we have made it our mission to provide beauty in all our designs.

Our team of industry professionals is there to guide you every step of the way (if you need help navigating through the process of booking a production company) . This is what sets us apart from the rest. We understand that planning an event is stressful and time consuming, so we designed the booking process to be as simple and stress-free as possible for our clients. We save you time, money, and effort that you can now put towards other aspects of your event.
