“Jodi is the embodiment of the professional event planner. Inventive, understanding, and results driven.”
“We just finished working with Jodi and were so impressed with her quick responses and professionalism; working between us (the speaker) and the client. Leading up to the event she was on the ball for practice rehearsal and worked gracefully under pressure on the day of the event. Working with Jodi was easy, I can’t wait for our next event together!”
“HUGE, ginormous shout out and praise to Jodi at Eleven Events. This woman knows her stuff when it comes to events and creating an experience for your customers. Just WOW!!”
“Jodi skillfully guided us through our first-ever GMS LivingWell Festival. She’s very responsive and detail-oriented, which was incredibly reassuring since we were on a tight timeline. During the planning process Jodi was like another team member, joining us in-person for weekly updates and sharing her knowledge and expertise. It was great to bounce ideas off someone with so much experience and positive energy.”
“We had an immediate connection and I knew doing business with her would come with a lot of benefits and contribute to successful events. Jodi is an excellent communicator, problem solver and is very detail oriented. She delivers on what she says she is going to do and is very responsive to communication and follow up. Jodi would be a good fit with any organization or person wanting a successful brilliant event.”
“Jodi helped us plan our first annual Learning and Leadership Event in 2015; a fundraiser welcoming Margaret Trudeau as our inaugural speaker. The event was amazing! Every detail was expertly handled and looked after from the venue selection and negotiation, to the décor, the food, and the silent and live auctions, all while keeping our budget in mind. All our guests were totally impressed!”
“Jodi was my contact when planning the National Managers Exchange 2016. She provided positive, professional and thoughtful advice, and responded to our inquiries right away. She was very accommodating and flexible with our requests was able to resolve issues immediately. I especially appreciated her sense of humour while remaining calm. Jodi helped make our event a success!”
“Working with Jodi is truly like working with an extension of your own team. Jodi’s attention to detail and communication skills were key in eliminating the stress associated with event planning and execution. Her weekly planning updates, vendor selection grids, risk analysis and stakeholder management skills were crucial in creating a successful hybrid event, especially during uncertain times. We felt we could trust Jodi to make decisions that were aligned with our goals, not to mention, looked beautiful and were within budget. We cannot say enough good things about working with Jodi at Eleven Events and would recommend her services if you are looking to take your event to the next level.”
“Without you the event would not have gone so smoothly. How to reiterate what a wonderful experience we had planning and executing and celebrating a grand retirement party for our colleague? Thank you, thank you, once again, for your own patience, suggestions and help in ensuring it was a happy, memorable time for her. I’m attaching the photo she sent me – hope you enjoy how it captures the beginning of a fantastic evening for her. I truly appreciate your caring in making this event so special for us all!”
“I attended the Cultivator Start Up Social at Conexus and I was absolutely blown away by the event you and your team organized! Everything was perfection! It was such a fun experience. Your company has been on my radar ever since and I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking to hire in the future for events.”
I work at Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as the Manager of Business Development and had the great pleasure of working with Jodi who booked an event with us on behalf of one of her many clients. Jodi is a true professional, has great attention to detail and was on the mark for every deadline we had requiring information. I would not hesitate to recommend Jodi and Eleven Events Management for any of your needs. She is simply The Best.
“Working with Jodi has been an absolute dream! She quickly became part of the team, actively listening to the plans and intentions we had for our gathering so we could make them reality. She always gave sound advice, and handled situations as they arose with care, professionalism, and diplomacy. We were in very good hands with Jodi—she was as deeply invested in making the National Gathering of Graduate Students as successful as we were.”
“Working with Jodi was such an excellent experience! We were hosting a National Conference for the first time, with few resources, a smallish budget and minimal expertise and Jodi made so much of it seamless. She was the shelter in our storm, and the anchor to our team. Jodi came with lots of advice, ideas, and connections. She was onsite every minute of the conference addressing any issues and making sure our guests and organizing team had what they needed. She remained prompt and engaged after the conference to get things wrapped up, including two days of meeting minutes. I would have her by my side again anytime! Thank you Jodi!”
“Absolutely loved working with Jodi. She was organized and efficient and kept all our contractors on task during a very challenging event. I would work with Jodi again in a heartbeat!”
