About Livewire
Livewire was founded in 1999 by Kent Kolstad in Alexandria, Minnesota.
From the start, Kent aimed to supply our region with world-class audio, video, lighting, scenery and staging for corporate events, conferences, non-profit galas, concerts, and theatrical events, of all shapes and sizes.
In our 23+ years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with thousands of event planners to bring high-quality, impactful, successful events to life.
Livewire is now based in Downtown Fargo, North Dakota, with a constant presence throughout the North’s greatest cities including Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Sioux Falls, Bismarck, St. Cloud, and Alexandria.
As we’ve grown, so has our reach. We've had the pleasure of working with clients on events across the country...with only 4 states left to cross off the list!
