You and your team made our event run so seamlessly. Everyone who attended seemed to enjoy themselves, and for me it was a delight not having to worry about the logistics once it started! I hope I have another opportunity to work with Riggs again, because it was a great experience resulting in a great event! Thank you again!
You have a great space and such a warm friendly presence when I met you. I wanted you to know it meant a lot.😊
