About Us

Angela Shelton

Founder & CEO

Angela Shelton, owner and operator of AST Exclusive Events Services, is a proud New Orleans native with deep roots in the city and a lifelong connection to its culture, music, and celebrations. Her passion for business and planned events is grounded in both local tradition and industry-level expertise.



With over two decades of family experience in entertainment and event services, Angela brings a hands-on, detail-driven approach to every project. Much of her industry knowledge was shaped through close exposure to internationally known musician and entrepreneur Jeff Tyson, former husband and founder of the JT Ka-nection Band and owner of JT Sound and Lighting. Through this experience, Angela gained firsthand insight into high-level production, live entertainment logistics, and the operational side of running a successful sound and lighting business.

Angela’s commitment to professionalism, creativity, and exceptional customer service will help AST Exclusive Events Services earn a reputation for excellence throughout the region. Her local knowledge, entrepreneurship, industry experience, and genuine passion for creating memorable experiences will be the foundation of the company’s vision and success.
