TESTIMONIALS
“Michele’s got a number of gifts when it comes to events: designer, creative force, negotiator, producer and gracious leader to name a few. Her work with our events at The Shea Center has helped us create events that are beautiful, practical, cost effective and memorable.”
Dana Butler-Moburg, Executive Director at The Shea Center
Over the past 25 years I've spoken at more than 750 events large and small throughout the world. I've had the opportunity to see the best and brightest in the "meetings industry." I must say that Michele Holmen is one of the best meeting planners I've witnessed. Her skill at "juggling chain saws" is right up there with the huge firms out of New York, Chicago and Beverly Hills. Meeting planning is beyond throwing a great party and most folks have no idea the skill it takes to multitask, feather-smooth, McGuyver and keep your head as she did. Recently, I spoke at a multinational Fortune 100 company meeting to see what five times the budget could
buy and it wasn't anywhere near what we got!

When Michele planned our wedding, she had every detail covered and was able to come up with really practical solutions. The event was absolutely beautiful. The hotel even featured it in the events sections of their website as no other event planner had gone as above and beyond with the venue before. Michele is brilliant when it comes to the logistics and the design. Everything was planned and looked beautiful. She was able to recommend a great DJ company, photographer, and florist for us. We were so happy with the result. It was such a breeze on our end since everything was taken care of.

Michele did so much more than just “plan” our wedding; Michele left a lasting impression on our lives. When I look back on the planning of our wedding, and the event itself, I think of Michele with such fondness. She went with me to meet every potential vendor. She is so knowledgeable and knew exactly what questions to ask. I can honestly tell you I felt complete confidence in her. She never steered me wrong. She was so quick to reply to all my emails and phone calls. She was patient with me. She made the experience fun and comfortable. On our wedding day, I was blown away. It was perfect down to every tiny detail. I feel that hiring Michele was the best decision we made. She made us feel important. It was magical.
