“Organizing a special evening for clients and industry stakeholders is never easy, but doing it within a few weeks and from the other end of the country can be a daunting task.  From finding a location that would fit our group to providing me with insightful site visit notes, finalizing the décor just before the evening to closing all the details right after, Kevin provided valuable assistance through the entire process.  He was professional and fun to work with.  He always had quick and honest answers to my frequent questions.  I would not hesitate to recommend Kevin to anyone who needs someone they can trust to organize an event.”

Caroline Phaneuf, Marketing Strategy Analyst, Nova Bus, St-Eustache, QC
