She was very detailed in our briefing meeting, making sure she had all of the context, run of show and pertinent information to successfully support the event. On the day of, she was prompt and came ready to go! After getting the lay of the land of the venue, she took initiative in the tasks assigned to prepare for guest arrival (setting up the registration table, assembling cocktail tables and dressing with linens etc.). Serving as one of the first faces the guests saw, she was polite and helpful, even escorting our speakers to their designated seats and explaining their involvement in the program. Candace will definitely be one of my first calls should I need event support in the future. Thank you for helping to make that event such a success!”
