Our Past:
Hi Tech originated as a part time hobby in 1992. Starting from the bottom, making his own light fixtures, light controllers, playing music from cassette tapes & carrying boxes full of CDs, owner, Dan McNeil used DJing to put himself through university starting a career in Electrical Engineering. In 2008 Dan left the corporate sector to pursue a full-time passion in Event Production, registering Hi Tech Productions as a company in Alberta in 2008. That year Hi Tech started with 26 events, the following year 250 and by 2019 they had completed just over 1400 events annually. A large percentage of these events comprised of weddings.
Hi Tech Productions is a trend setting production and Entertainment Company with a main focus on creating experiences. The company was the first in Canada to introduce Vinyl Video VJs, the first in Canada to introduce projection mapped wedding cakes, the first in western Canada to add the emulator holographic DJ system to its arsenal, and the first in the world to develop an emulator DJ system that can play music videos. Hi Tech has been recently featured on CTV's cross Canada show "The Social" for wedding tech trends and Dan was nominated last year for the artist of the year award at the Airdrie Mayor's Night of the Arts.
