“Karen Elyse was absolutely integral in activating the events and programs surrounding this year's Fashion Rocks. She is committed and focused at all she sets out to do, and was especially adept at handling some of our more challenging client needs. She is a leader, with a soft touch, and has a sunny disposition to boot! Pair all of the above with the fact that she travels with dishes of candy for the staff, and you've got yourself a consummate professional with a kind heart.”

“In my role as President of the Board at AWNY we were planning our 100th anniversary and needed to find a new events production firm that could step in as we were pretty far along and needed to quickly find a replacement. Karen came highly recommended and did a kick ass job of transitioning and not missing a beat. The project had multiple clients, elements and events that were all high profile. She was an incredible resource and had connections everywhere. A calm problem solver that quickly found creative solutions and worked really well with a variety of personalities. After doing an amazing job with the 100th she was rehired to support a variety of other events that ran one right after the other. Large or small she is consistent, reliable and lots of fun to work with.”

In the fall of 2011 and 2013, Karen flawlessly managed a three-day international summit for Golf Digest affiliates from 30 countries with positive energy and crackerjack organization. We are forever grateful.”
