WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“The District Hall is a beautiful venue, which is very welcoming and accommodating. It was perfect for our ILEA January education meeting. We were able to cocktail in a very nice location and then move into a second space for our presentation. The AV equipment/set-up provided made our set up for the presentation very seamless. We worked with Kajsa for the planning portion of the event and she was great to work with! She provided great recommendations and connections for other vendors. Amy assisted us day of and was a pleasure to work with. She assisted with all of our needs effortlessly.”

“Kajsa Whitney was WONDERFUL! She was very easy to work with, spot on with all of our details. Logically this was not an easy event, but Kajsa made it run seamlessly. We cannot thank her enough, without her, our event would have not been successful. Kajsa was absolutely amazing, very accommodating, anticipated our needs, and just plain great to spend two days with! Our attendees loved the space, the location and facilities.”
