Events & Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of working with Natalie during her contract with PwC for the 20+ internal events we worked on together. Her dedication, diligence and commitment to and for what she does, was quite apparent. She thinks outside the box, and made a number of innovative suggestions that made a huge impact on our event in the long run. Natalie also exemplified the epitome of leadership on event day, from set up to tear down, and everything in between. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working with her again in the near future”

Frank Cugliari, Event Planner, 10tation Event Catering

A major financial institution held a fall Leadership Team Retreat at Ontario’s spectacular cottage country. Natalie partnered with the leadership team to source, plan and arrange the venue, including accommodations, meals and creative team-building exercises.

National Convention & Trade Show
A National Lenders’ Association required a 3-day convention at Toronto’s Fairmont Royal York hotel with accommodation, meeting facilities and a trade show. Natalie worked with the volunteer board to plan and execute every detail including a keynote speaker and gala evening.

“Natalie’s attention to detail is amazing. She is a team player … always looking for ways to make sure the event is the best that it can be.” 
Conference Director, Credit Union Professionals’ Association

 

Public Sector Publicity Event
The City of Toronto and Toronto Community Housing Corporation staged a one-day “Revitalization of Regent Park” event on a chilly day in February. Notable guests included the Mayor David Miller, various Toronto and provincial VIPs, and news media. 
Natalie organized the location, a heated tent, catering, various neighbourhood groups, live entertainment, attendance by the local day care and even work boots for the VIPs.

 “I had the pleasure of using The Planner’s services for two major events in 2006. Both events were hugely successful, thanks to Natalie’s attention to detail and her skill in dealing with all kinds of people. She is thoroughly professional and manages to deal with all kinds of issues on the fly.”
