She listened to our ideas for the activity and concerns for the day and worked with us to put together an event that exceeded our expectations and addressed all of our needs. The event was well organized and executed in seamless fashion. Every member of their team was friendly, approachable and encouraging to staff. Our evaluations only had good things to say about the event and our employees still talk about how fun the experience was.
