As a Community Manager for the American Cancer Society, I first met Leesa McKeon at a Sponsorship Reception for our Inaugural Decades Ball, a Roaring Twenties-themed event. Ms. McKeon told me that she was an event planner and would like to get involved and help with the event. Two things that impressed me right away about Leesa's involvement was her willingness to help whereever needed and her initiative, never waiting to be asked to do anything. Decorating the event on such a small budget is also where she was a huge asset to the committee! We had a small amount of materials donated, but Ms. McKeon put together some amazing floral arrangements and her assistance with decorating really made it a first class event!!

Three years ago, when I decided to get married near my mountain home in Cashiers, NC, I couldn't imagine how to get it done and have the beautiful wedding that I had hoped for. It was an unusual wedding...the second marriage for my fiance and for me...we had been college friends and lost our mates. We wanted our children and grandchildren (all 15 of them) to be a part in the event. Enter~Leesa McKeon.
Leesa had the know-how and resources to make it happen beyond our fondest hopes. She knew the best florists, the best cake designers, the best photographer, and the best people to facilitate a seamless wedding and reception. She even found the best "big-band" in three states and did it all at the least possible costs for us. Leesa became a good friend and I would recommend her to anyone.
When we walked down the aisle, we were preceded by fifteen beautiful children and when the minister asked, "Who gives this woman?" Fifteen beautiful children said "We do!" Leesa planned it all.

A friend introduced me to Ms. Mckeon and she has taken great steps to help me and my company select our Safety Awards. I am the EH&S Manager at Volvo Construction Equipment and I would like to thank her for the effort she has put into helping with the selection and ground work involved with our 60 Day Safety Achievement Awards. Thank you, Leesa McKeon for your work.

"Accustomed to numerous non-profit solicitations, my office was approached by Ms. McKeon for underwriting sponsorship of a function in her area. She pleasantly increased the level of giving opportunity by opening the door to more than just the advertised exposure. Traveling to the event, we were directly introduced to potential business contacts, guided to other area non-profits, and recognized in a manner that outshone our initial contribution value. Ms. McKeon operates on a level of leadership that would be an asset to any non-profit, or corporate development/marketing team."

"You are a professional event manager of the highest caliber, who meticulously researches, designs and executes your events."

"Thank you for taking care of all the "small" details for us. I emphasized "small" because sometimes in the planning stages each one does seem like a minor detail, but I can't tell you how many times we have arrived at an event without proper space provided for our equipment vehicle, without enough power, with confusion regarding the accommodations. You get the idea...well thanks to your detailed planning this event was a well oiled machine."
- Larry Perigo, "The Headliners"
"Congratulations on such a successful event with "Encore at the Summit." I am sure the success of the event was directly related to your creativity, planning skills and attention to detail. It is refreshing working with a professional who understands what it takes to "make" it happen. I look forward to working with you in the future."
