BRAND IDENTITY
OUR HISTORY
2007
Platinum XP (formerly Platinum KC) started in 2007 as a DJ business focused on weddings. What began as a side gig for owners Courtney and Kris Nardini—while Kris was also a high school biology teacher—quickly grew into a full-scale live event production and AV company. Over the past 19 years, we’ve grown into a nationally recognized leader in delivering unforgettable, high-impact event experiences.
2019
Along the way, we’ve experienced incredible growth—not just in size but in how we approach the industry. During the pandemic, while the industry faced significant challenges, we used the time to reimagine how we could grow and better serve our clients. We embraced new technology, expanded our Kansas City warehouse, and built two state-of-the-art production studios that became the go-to spots for virtual and hybrid events. These investments helped us earn the trust of high-profile clients and continue pushing forward.
2021
This momentum fueled our biggest shift yet: we transitioned from being an AV-focused company to becoming a full-service event planning and production agency. With that shift, we rebranded to focus on our core mission: delivering next-level experiences ("XP") in everything we do. Over time, our team has more than doubled, and today, we proudly employ full-time experts in each of our five divisions: Planning & Logistics, Audio/Visual & Stage Design, Large Format Print Graphics, Media & Content Creation, and Fabrication Services. By keeping these services in-house, PXP fosters strong collaboration and creative alignment ensuring high-quality results for every aspect of an event.
2025
Today, Platinum XP is leading the way in modern event planning and production. We’re all about challenging industry norms and setting new standards for innovative, high-quality experiences. Our growth is a testament to our ability to adapt, innovate, and push boundaries. PXP isn’t just growing—it’s thriving—and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
PURPOSE
Empowering unforgettable experiences through meticulous planning and seamless execution, our event planning and production agency is dedicated to crafting innovative, tailor-made events that captivate, inspire, and exceed expectations.
