George is the most talented event planner, period.
We never have a gig without him. Whether it is a dinner party for eight, a 50th surprise party limited to 50 guests or the wedding of your dreams. If you have no idea where to start or have great ideas and know exactly what you want, George will crank it up a notch and hit the mark every time.
Plus, he is an awful lot of fun!
Love this! Love his work and love his courage to pay respect to his partner. 🙂
Great profile, such a great person in this profession.

I’ve heard so many good things about this person. Reading his profile makes me more interested in getting him as an event planner in our forthcoming 25th anniversary. I’m now super convinced that he’s going to make my anniversary a blast.
