Who Let the Devil Out?
We did. Red Devil Events is the Charleston crew behind the festivals, fight nights and parties people are still talking about.
Our story
Red Devil Events officially launched in early 2023. Our first event series, The Barbie Party, took over St. Pete, Tampa and Charleston that summer and put us on TV in both cities. We haven't slowed down since.
Today we produce Charleston's most talked-about nights: the award-winning Pickle Palooza festival, The Day Club, Holy City Fights, Derby celebrations, pop-up clubs, upscale galas and more. More than 10,000 people have partied with us across Charleston and Tampa.
Our top priority is always the guest experience. If you had a bad time at one of our events, we want to hear about it, and we'll do our best to make it right.
Meet the founder
Red Devil Events was founded by Jeffrey Booth, a New York native who has called Charleston home since 2009. Jeff got into the party scene in 2002 and was throwing parties in college to cover his rent. After a short run in corporate jobs he went all in as an entrepreneur in Charleston in 2013, and in 2017 he started Blue Steel Promotions, running bar events with many of Charleston's best-known spots and handling every part of them himself: planning, marketing, customer service and logistics.
Red Devil Events is the bigger stage: larger, more immersive events, built with a crew of hosts, DJs, photographers and producers you'll meet below.
Why "Red Devil"?
Meet Mikko
The company is named after Jeff's dog, Mikko: a red Vizsla with endless energy and zero chill. If you've ever met a Vizsla, the name explains itself.
What we do
Beyond our own events, you can hire us for event production, event promotion and event consulting. And through our nonprofit, the Red Devil Foundation, our events raise money for local charities.
Where we're going
The party lives in Charleston and Tampa today. Atlanta, Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, Columbia and other cities are on the horizon.

The people behind the parties
Meet the Crew
Namesake & Chief Menace
Mikko
The original Red Devil. Mikko is a 7-year-old Vizsla, the reason the company has its name, and a full-time menace. His duties include stalking squirrels with special-forces focus, guarding every tennis ball in Charleston, and claiming the best seat on the couch. He has never once been on time to a meeting, and nobody has been brave enough to bring it up.
Founder/Executive Producer
Jeffrey Booth
Jeff has been monetizing bad decisions since 2006. A New York native (and long-suffering #BillsMafia member), he landed in Charleston in 2009, put his digital marketing and social media background to work founding Blue Steel Promotions in 2017, then went bigger with Red Devil Events in 2023. He named the company after his Vizsla, Mikko, who has never let him forget it.
Event Host/Producer
Stephen Pond
If someone's yelling 'Make some noise!' at a Red Devil event, it's probably Stephen. The CofC grad is currently the voice of the Charleston Battery and has hosted everything from ACC hoops to festivals and MMA weigh-ins. Volume: always on.
Video Producer/Photographer
Corey Connor
Corey runs CC12 Productions, shooting everything from commercials to political ads, and has worked on the set of HBO's The Righteous Gemstones. He's also an AP photojournalist who's spent 15+ years in the Coast Guard and responded to the Miracle on the Hudson, so a packed dance floor doesn't faze him.
Director of Dink
Jackie Kelly
Jackie runs the courts at Pickle Palooza, and she's got the credentials to back it up: she's a USA Pickleball Ambassador who helps lead Old Blue Truck Pickleball, the Town of Mount Pleasant's official coaching partner. Off the court she's a top-producing Realtor with The Cassina Group and the Old Village's unofficial guru, so she knows every neighbor and probably their dink game too.
Director of Shenanigans
Macy Flanagan
Milwaukee-born and Charleston-based, Macy is the reason nobody's ever bored at a Red Devil event. She runs every game and activity on the schedule and keeps the biggest days, like Pickle Palooza, running on time. She also runs her own business, Summerville to Charleston Events, which started as a community with one simple goal: to bring people together and create opportunities for genuine connections and lasting friendships. From dancing to dinners, she's helped plenty of Lowcountry transplants find their people.
Volunteer Coordinator
Nina Torres
By day Nina is the Volunteer Coordinator at Charleston Habitat for Humanity, so rallying helpers is second nature. She keeps every Red Devil event staffed and runs Clash of the Cukes at Pickle Palooza, where local restaurants battle for the best pickle in town. A Columbia native, CofC grad and rare-plant collector, she knows a thing or two about growing cukes.
Dancer & Fixer-in-Chief
Heather Miller
Heather is a passionate and versatile entertainer. She brings confidence, creativity, and professionalism to every performance. Specializing in go-go and burlesque entertainment, she performs nationwide at clubs, festivals, and special events, delivering a captivating presence and an unforgettable experience.
DJ
NattyHeavy
Nate "NattyHeavy" Lopes booked his first gig at 13 and hasn't left the decks since. Voted Charleston's Best DJ by City Paper readers for over a decade, he's opened for Snoop Dogg and Hootie & the Blowfish, hosts NattyHeavy's House Party on 95SX, and somehow found time to write the DJ Wicky Girl kids' books. Whatever the crowd, he's got the song that gets them moving.
DJ
Lyrikill
Fort Lauderdale's own Jordan "Lyrikill" Seitz has shared stages with T-Pain, Ludacris, Pitbull, Flo Rida, DJ Khaled and Wiz Khalifa. A recording artist, producer and iHeartRadio multimedia consultant, he spins everywhere from Seminole Casino Coconut Creek to Charleston's Prohibition, sometimes in a full Santa suit. Empty dance floors are not an option.
Photographer
Ben Egelson
Ben began his photography journey in 2018 driven by a love for capturing the wildlife of South Carolina. What started as a passion has grown into photographing families, headshots, events, concerts, and everything in between.
Chef, FoodArt Catering
Bryce Gussin
Bryce has never met a theme he couldn't cook. When Netflix asked FoodArt Catering for a gas-station menu for the Tires wrap party, he served puff-pastry hot dogs, buffalo wings and a walking-taco bar. From private-chef weeks on Isle of Palms to nightclub catering at Trio, Bryce builds a custom menu around whatever your event is dreaming up.
