Natalie was a pleasure to work with. Super helpful, personable and always flexible. Can't recommend her enough!
Amy Elz
Natalie is amazing. Let's begin there. She is not only excellent at her job, but she's also the type of person that puts you immediately at ease because you instinctively know she's got everything under control. She works fantastically well with the staff and guests around her because she is polite and kind at all times, even when she's been working for countless hours straight while bombarded by zillions of requests from a variety of clients. She's smart, efficient, and knows just how to get things done. And, by golly, she's as nice as they come. It's over a year on from our event at the Grosvenor House and we still talk about how we wish there was a Natalie at every hotel we visit because she set a new standard.
