Partnerships That Drive Success

"Jackie is a phenomenal meeting and event planner. She brings a unique combination of strategic thinking and detailed execution."
"Jackie is a phenomenal meeting and event planner. She brings a unique combination of strategic thinking and detailed execution to her work. She listens to her client carefully to understand the objective of the event, the budget and the success criteria (raise funds, raise awareness, entertain, celebrate, etc.). She is very creative and innovative and has a great network to tap into for various event related services. She identifies options that meet the client's needs and guides them through an informed decision-making process. Throughout the process, she keeps her clients informed and when new information is presented, she works with you to incorporate, revise and adjust as needed. She has planned multiple events for me and my team and we are extremely happy with the results. We have had large business meetings in interesting locations with creative additions to keep folks engaged and interested (and well fed) while attending to the business objectives at hand. She has also planned multiple social outings and celebrations that have delighted a diverse group of employees, ensuring all had a great experience. We look forward to working with Jackie on our next event."

"We have worked with Spark Events on several of our annual retreats for our employees. Each year they work with us in advance to understand our vision, our goals and the needs of our people. This year was SO FUN! We came up with a theme early on and the Spark Events team went above and beyond to incorporate our theme into every meal, every gathering, meeting space and communication. They also do so much ahead of the event that our people just get to walk in and relax. Everything is taken care of for them from venue expectations, dietary needs, agenda and activities. We love working with Spark Events to plan our events, but they are also so helpful to have AT the event. Doing just in time adjustments if needed, being a go to resource for the venue and always thinking about what we could do differently next time. They are THE partner for us. We look forward to many more years of great events with Spark Events at the center of those plans."
