“I wanted to take this opportunity to commend you, your staff and vendors on your exceptional work in presenting our Second Annual HOPE Gala.  You exceeded all the expectations of the Majors' Long and our advisory Board and once again, provided the community of Kroc Center supporters with a night to remember.

Your vision and execution in turning our Kroc gymnasium into an elegant ballroom surprised and dazzled our guests.  I had many, many compliments on the decor, lighting, table settings and centerpieces, as well as the red carpet entrance and themed ice sculpture.  You and your team delivered an exceptional atmosphere that allowed us to favorably introduce The Salvation Army in Hampton Roads to many new supporters and impress those who know us well.

I am also grateful for your strict adherence to our budget and the fact that with Main Stream Events, there are no surprises.  Your willingness to integrate with our staff so efficiently also helped us keep costs under control.

I would welcome the opportunity to share our overall experience with any potential customer of yours. [...]"

James L. Sisson III, Executive Director
The Salvation Army Hampton Roads Area Command

“We hired Main Stream Events and PR Firm for a casino night that our firm held to kick off the beginning of tax season for our staff in January. They did an excellent job in staying within our budget, met all the needs of what we wanted for the evening and all the legwork of the function was taken care of by Karen and her team. All we had to do was show up to the event. 

The evening was such a success and all of our staff was so impressed with the way the evening turned out. Our firm has continued to use her company for two events per year since 2012.
I would recommend the services of Main Stream Events and PR Firm as no matter how big or small an event they will accommodate you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.“

“Karen Gould is a “FIREBRAND” – and an amazing worker.
I approached her after meeting her at a social / business networking event with the hopes she would partner with me to plan and put on a series of training events to the general public as part of my consulting business. (I am horrid at event planning!)

Within 72 hours of our conversation, and my ‘go-ahead’ – she had found a venue (free!), contacted the main point of contact at the venue, gotten approval for dates, whipped up an advertising flyer, established an account for the event on EventBrite, and after I approved the flyer, pushed it out to her social network.
This is incredible because this is far above even what I would have been able to achieve (and I’m a workaholic!). 

This woman has incredible organizational skills, knows her event planning, performs marvelously as an administrative executive, and I hope this partnership will last a long time! “ If anyone is looking to hire a ‘go-to’ person, Karen if the person they want on their team.
