“The biggest compliment I could give Janice and Savvy Event Designs is that we never worried about the organization or delivery of the Leadership program once the program delivery was contracted to Savvy Event Designs. We knew no detail would be missed, and all participating would leave with a positive feeling about the program Durham and the chamber. She truly create a great event, which gave us great brand recognition and positive participant feedback. Can’t think of anything else we could have asked for!” – Casey Stenibacher, CCE, President and CEO of the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce
“Typically, I would be a little nervous about leaving an event like this to another planner. But, I knew that we were in good hands after our very first conversation. I not only felt comfortable – I had a feeling that you would make it better for me. And, you did. Thank you again. I would work with you again in a heartbeat (with a much earlier notice).” – KW, an out of state event planner in need of a DMC to support her client’s last minute change of an event destination
“Janice is a sales and marketing person who sees the value proposition and big picture of an event or product in addition to being a person who can cover all the details – both necessary to increase revenue. She can connect with people at all levels and sees and does what is necessary to increase visibility and profits for a product or an event. In working with her at the Carolina Designer Craftsmen Guild (CDCG) annual show, I have found Janice to be a very fast learner who can ad is willing to take charge of an event and make it more profitable for her employer. She will have a positive influence on any organization that she works in or with and can be counted on to provide results greater than expected.” – Richard A. Usanis, Usanis Photography and Past President/Board Member of CDCG
“I can’t imagine a warmer welcoming to Raleigh than the one you gave me. What a difference it made to have your help when I had so many questions about ‘What’s what & what’s where?’ You helped me to quickly become acquainted with the area and made fabulous recommendations for how I could be involved in the community.” - Ashley, relocated from Alabama
“Your amazing knowledge of this area and warm demeanor has made our introduction to the area exciting and a lot of fun. We definitely feel more comfortable with the community since you introduced my wife and me to several historic and cultural Durham sites. We especially enjoyed attending a Savvy ‘group’ event in Wilmington, NC.” - Pete, relocated from Rochester, NY
“Your personal tour and advisement gave me an insider’s look I could have never gotten from a guidebook. Now I know the best places for me to shop, eat and look for housing.” - AR, relocated from New Jersey
“Savvy Event Designs planned and coordinated our event to perfection. We more than tripled our contribution to a worthy cause. Savvy had the goal in mind, took the steps to reach it, and succeeded far beyond anyone’s imagination. Thank you!” - Karen, Past President of the Brier Creek Ladies Golf Association
“Janice is thoroughly professional in her business. She not only brings extensive knowledge to bear on Savvy Event Designs, but she has a real flair for engaging her clients and turning that engagement into a customer plan that can certainly exceed my expectations. Savvy has arranged events for me locally in the Raleigh area and out of town (Charleston SC, Wilmington NC) as well. Every detail was exceptional, and I will be asking Janice to do it again.” - Jim Reilly PMP, Raleigh NC
