Testimonials

“Elizabeth has been a true gift from the universe. She contacted us when our search for a conference site was in crisis, and calmly and efficiently contacted hotels in two different counties, vetted them completely using our conference guidelines, accompanied us on our site inspections, and helped us with the contract negotiations, attending to details I had not imagined.”

“Working with Elizabeth on site selection, contract negotiation, and all of the details for two major events, one in 2018 and the other in 2019, has been a true joy. Her knowledge and expertise have benefited us greatly. Our level of confidence as a planning team is high when it comes to her attention to detail and assistance.”

“We have worked with Elizabeth Caragay Watts-Russell for multiple years now. She has helped us from every stage of planning our large-scale events in multiple cities. From helping us to find the proper venue, to negotiating contracts, event planning and event follow up, her advice and assistance is invaluable. I plan to work with Elizabeth for many years to come for all of our major events in cities around the country. Our events would not be near as successful if we did not have her support and guidance. Elizabeth is poised, professional and great to work with. She is constantly available and always ready to respond immediately to all our emails and calls. I would recommend working with Elizabeth to anyone planning an event.”

“I have worked closely with Elizabeth Caragay Watts-Russell for over 5 years to help me with the hotel site selection inclusive of the searching among several hotel contenders, coordinating site visits, negotiating the best values and terms, contracting and advocating on our behalf every step of the way through the conclusion of the conferences. I cannot recommend her services enough. Not only does she find us the best fit every time, she always ensures we get the best deal and best terms in our contract. Another thing I really appreciate about working with her is her incredible support throughout and until the termination of the program. Elizabeth is always an incredible advocate and representative. I would not plan an event without her.”

“Elizabeth has been great to work with in all aspects of our event. Her professionalism, experience and ability to interact well at all levels are assets that anyone would want on their team and we are grateful that she is on ours!”

“Hosting a large event, such as a conference, is a very intimidating task. Thankfully we had Elizabeth to help us out. Her expertise in contacting and negotiating room rates to the hotel industry took that daunting task off our hands which made the process easier for us to focus on planning for our event.”

“I feel lucky to have had Elizabeth Caragay Watts-Russell assist my non-profit association to host a conference. I am a paralegal, not a party planner, and she was able to negotiate and secure a great contract with the hotel. I certainly have no idea about what to ask for and what to look for. She helped us through the end. Very grateful for the assistance and advice given. It was a complete success, and I can say that it all started in the hands-on approach with her years of experience. I HIGHLY recommend Elizabeth and her company.”

“Elizabeth, I cannot say enough great things about working with you on this and how easy you made our lives during this process. Thank you so much, as we felt all of your hard work in how smoothly our visits went. You are outstanding and we appreciate you!.”

“As the District Governor, I can't recommend Elizabeth Caragay Watts-Russell high enough. What she did in helping us and negotiating made it a success and allowed us to achieve a greater conference than we could have imagined while staying within budget of last year's conference. Elizabeth is incredible and we have her helping us with the next 3 conferences. She is wonderful!!”

“Elizabeth has supported us through two company retreats, and both experiences were absolutely seamless. She's organized, proactive, and such a great advocate throughout the entire planning process. Elizabeth anticipates needs before they arise and ensures every element is handled with care. It's rare to find someone so dedicated, reliable, and easy to work with.”

“Elizabeth came to us highly recommended, and she exceeded every expectation. We began working with her for our conference after hearing countless positive reviews and success stories, and it quickly became clear why she is so well regarded. With our limited experience planning a conference, Elizabeth's expertise was invaluable. She guided us through the process with confidence, clarity, and professionalism, helping us identify the best options for our needs. Most importantly, she worked tirelessly to ensure that the final contract was fair, thoughtful, and beneficial to both parties. Elizabeth is knowledgeable, responsive, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to her clients' success. We are incredibly grateful for her support and cannot recommend her highly enough for site selection services.”

“Well done, Elizabeth; dedicated and patient listening, in addition to your negotiating skills, certainly made the difference in our case. Keep on excelling!!”
