What our Clients Say
I’m so grateful for having been connected to Lucy. From our first meeting, to venue sourcing, to accommodating multiple pandemic-related date changes, to helping with budget management, all logistics, and making our first founder retreat in the UK spectacular — Lucy was outstanding. She’s an absolute delight to work with, is incredibly thoughtful and thorough in thinking through all the little details that make events successful, and there is no job too big or too small for her. Lucy and I worked virtually together and then finally got to meet at our in-person retreat this May. She is a proactive, can-do individual that was essential to our team and the retreat. I truly loved working with Lucy and would hire her again in a heartbeat.
