Seamless Support

"I especially liked that it's all one coordinator and a one-stop-shopping effect. I worked with one person and she arranged for food, A/V, etc. Some conference spaces you end up working with each vendor directly and separately which gets time-consuming and not as seamless as you want and need it to be."
