I have received more rave reviews on this program than ever before. I really appreciate you working with me through our intense RFP process; it really opened my eyes to where a “niche” DMC like you with the expertise and experience can provide exceptional value and cost savings. In 12 years of managing incentives, my hats off to you for being a company with the utmost integrity, professionalism and expertise.

Thought you’d enjoy this. Came from one of the people we listed as a VIP….

“ …….My favorite part was when we left Maui and got to the airport and there were oh, 200 people standing in the United line and this fella is standing there: “Ms. Blake, we were expecting you: here are your boarding passes, we will check your bags, you go ahead and go to your gate.” I about cried – Truly, felt like a “princess” and that my company totally rocks.” - Michelle Fallone, Summit Performance Group, New Century Mortgage

 

“On behalf of our client as well as from the Summit Performance Group team, we would like to thank DeSilva Meeting Consultants for the exceptional service you provided for our recent Maui Incentive trip. The process was smooth and efficient from beginning to end. DeSilva Meeting Consultants responded quickly to our RFP and revised the proposal many times to meet our budget needs. Your flexibility with our program requirements and budget constraints was key to satisfying our client. And at no time did DeSilva Meeting Consultants sacrifice the quality of service provided to the client. Onsite, DeSilva Meeting Consultants’ team was professional, dependable and most importantly represented the Hawaiian Aloha spirit. DeSilva Meeting Consultants was a true partner who understood our client’s goals, agenda, and mission. The client saw DeSilva Meeting Consultants as a part of Summit Performance Group’s international team and made us look good as a result. We couldn't be more pleased with the transportation, décor, entertainment, tours, and Luau that DeSilva Meeting Consultants provided us. This was our second program with your team and we know there will be more to follow.” - Dick McCann, Partner, Summit Performance Group, Arag Group

“I am having serious withdrawals from Joshland. Today is the first day of minimal jet lag. I really wish that we did not live such worlds apart. Rest assured that I will always use your name first when recommending anything in HI. Thanks again for all of your hard work, excellent attention and tenacious dedication. You made the whole trip a pleasure. Wish it could happen more often.” - William Taufic, President, William Taufic Photography, UBS group

 

 “I am writing to thank you for your incredible professionalism, hard work and attention to detail that embodied every single element that you helped us with during the recent Toyota Maui Incentive at the Fairmont Kea Lani. As you know, I am extremely selective about the vendors I choose to assist me with my clients’ programs and I have to say, working with you on Toyota’s incentive programs has always been an absolute pleasure. Your willingness to go the extra mile, the level of service you provide and your ability to calmly and creatively problem-solve (on-site problem solving is so rarely needed when you’re involved) is consistently reflected in your staff’s attitude. Do they ever have a bad day? Or stop smiling? They’re as honest, hardworking and dedicated as you are!” - Kathryn Jurgensen, CMP, CEO/President, Premier Meetings, Various Toyota Programs
