I strongly recommend De-de for any one that is looking to make there next event a success and also have maximum participation. De-de was the 2006 Meeting Planner of the year because of her ability to provide her customers with three crucial things. 1. Plan and configure your event more than it was thought possible. 2. Tools and technology to make every event spectacular. 3. Committed to 100% client satisfaction. THE MARVINIZER March 19, 2009
Marvin Montgomery , Sales & Customer Service Consultant , ERC ServicesDe-de is one of those people that once you meet them, you know immediately that you want to work with them. She exudes confidence and competence. I have had the privilege to work directly with De-de on MPI projects. She always worked hard and delivered beyond all of my expectations. I have referred several clients to De-de who needed onsite planning expertise and all were very pleased with her work. I would hire De-de immediately and will continue to recommend her. Work with her if you can! March 6, 2009
