Our number one mission is to surpass all client expectations.
Here is what a few have had to say:

How do you get nearly 3,000 hungry workers at a refinery on 20 plus buses, transport them safely to a new location, feed them until they are full, entertain them, provide them with a gift, and return the workers to the refinery IN ONE AND HALF HOURS? Oh and as an added twist you have three weeks to do this, it is in a different city, the event is hosted by the President/CEO, there is one company and three contracting companies to co-ordinate, you also have to do a night shift event and the event must be videoed and edited so it can be watched at a different event in another city for another 1,000 people the next day. Beats me! That is why we got the best on the case — Jennifer James. Jennifer pulled this event together successfully — on time and on budget. And best of all, we truly had fun doing it!

Hire Jennifer — she’s great at what she does!

Jennifer James has been a key player in the logistics and coordination of the Career Show since its inception in 2005. She showed us the way when we had the vision of a Show that provided career information and options for young people, their parents and anyone in Calgary wanting to improve their career circumstances.

Jennifer James combines the unique talents for creative ideas and the skill and organization to make them happen.

I truly know that if you hadn’t brought your experience, insight, recommendations and attention to detail for our community event, we would not have been celebrating, as we did, at the end of it.
This event had its challenges – remote location, sourcing challenges in a small town – to say nothing of the fish flies! But somehow you brought the voice of reason to our plans and led us down the road of putting together a meaningful, professional event we were all proud of.

Thank you so much Jennifer. We wish you many successful events in the future!

Working with Jennifer and her team, is quite simply put, easy. As the Senior Manager, Communications & Marketing, Alberta
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, I would like to take this opportunity to offer a formal recommendation for Jennifer James as an event planner.

There are a few event companies in Calgary, all of which are looking to make their mark. However, the event industry is quite competitive and it is essential to get the right company for the job. Jennifer and her team have wonderful creativity, can handle pressure well, and are consistently in communiqué with their clients. The later, I find to be most important.

I have worked with Jennifer for a number of years and have always been pleased. Jennifer’s desire to stay at the top of her game is clear as she consistently offers a fresh perspective and creative approach to projects. She also approaches her projects by calculating risks and making solid determinations. Jennifer is always willing to assist with any task, even when it does fall out of the original project scope.

Jennifer also has a remarkable network of resources that she is able to access for projects as required. This limits the amount of internal resources an organization is then required to provide – a huge benefit in today’s marketplace.
I would not hesitate to recommend or hire Jennifer James Events for future projects.

The phenomenal success of our Memorial fundraising event, Celebrating Betty’s Life, is measured not only by the $100,000 plus that was raised but by the compliments we continued to receive, especially about the events décor. The Décor’s Chair, Jennifer James, combined her leadership talent and creative skills with an enthusiastic group of volunteers who worked with Dr. Betty Flagler. They captured the garden party theme of the evening and set the perfect ambiance. This visual reflection was superb!
