Venue: "The service and attention to detail that Cipriani 42nd Street brings to both the guest and the planner is the best I have ever worked with. Whether we are hosting an event or are the beneficiary for Wall Street's Concert Series, our organization is proud to be paired with Cipriani for their impeccable taste."
Event Design and Production: "[For] a professional, experienced production team that is fully capable of creating and achieving amazing programs, I use XA, the Experiential Agency. Their ability to stay calm under pressure at one of our biggest events, like the Snowflake gala, is astounding."
Decor: "Antony Todd's imagination consistently produces beautiful and unique work. His designs never get old. For our New York gala, he made Cipriani glow with an elegant winter decor."Photography: "Julie Skarratt's photos continue to be the best in the bunch. She is charming and knows the community that attends these events."
Graphic Design: "Lisa from Linhardt Design provides work that is fresh and classy. For our annual raising of the snowflake on 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, she created new angles while keeping it very festive. She is wonderful to work with, and her turnaround time always fits into our deadlines."
PR: "Paul Wilmot Communications knows everyone everywhere and goes above and beyond. They understand what we're looking for and how to shine the light on an event, without being too flashy for our cause."
