Working with Laura was a wonderful experience. She provided excellent feedback and was a great help in making our event a success. I'm looking forward to working with her again.

Laura Vaccaro is a true professional with a wonderful personality. She's always available, accommodating and makes everything seem effortless. Our firm's 2013 post-conference dinner was perfect--it ran smoothly because of Laura. Our firm's partners were delighted--they received so many compliments about the event and our clients were impressed--all thanks to Laura. She worked hard both before and during the evening to ensure that everything ran seamlessly. Needless to say, we're having our 2014 corporate dinner at the same venue and Laura is planning the event!
