Travel Planner Pam Swofford
Founder Pam Swofford Journey
Founder Pam Swofford started Taylor-Made Meetings, Inc as an event planner orchestrating meetings for groups across the US, ranging in size from small groups to 3,000 people. Life changed when Pam met her now-husband Stan, a set medic in the film industry for 35 years.
After living the day-to-day life as a crew member's wife, Pam became interested in the Film/TV industry. She started visiting local Atlanta production offices for several months, determined to be a part of the business. To her surprise, going office to office paid off when The Blind Side welcomed her with open arms, and Production Housing was born.
Climbing the Steps
In 2005, the Film & TV industry started to boom in Georgia. Pam was the only local travel agent at the time assisting Georgia productions. She spent extensive personal time educating hotel partners on production works and all the nuances. One aspect Pam takes great pride in is her hotel relationships that extend outside Metro Atlanta into countless small towns throughout Georgia.
She discovered there was a lack of knowledge of smaller towns in Georgia where film crews would constantly film. She focused on becoming the go-to person for hotels. Not limiting herself to just Georgia, Pam has worked with 100 film & TV productions across the US to date. She enjoys the personal relationships the industry has brought into her life and considers her clients as family.
Testimonials
It’s been my good fortune to work with Pam Swofford for production housing on two productions in the Atlanta area and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Pam is delightful to work with and very responsive to our needs. Pam worked within our budget and found outstanding housing alternatives for both our star talent and our out-of-town crew. Pam draws on her years of experience and her relationships to come up with just the right accommodations, whether it’s an up-scale, full-service hotel for our cast, a fully furnished home, or condo for our stars or executives, or an affordable, superior option for our out-of-town crew. I look forward to working with Pam at our next opportunity, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them enthusiastically.

Co-Executive Producer
Pam with Production Housing has been a godsend. Our production office crew is able to concentrate on the logistics and leave the hotel research and rate negotiating to the experienced Production Housing team. A team who’s always on our side. Negotiating great rates and making sure hotel rooms were available for all our crew and actors is great. However, the personal touch really makes a difference when dealing with cast and the VIP’s. I’m looking forward to the working with Pam again.
