Testimonials
Incentives:
Dave Ziebarth, Astec, Nassau, Bahamas, 29 people
"I have to say Donna and your group did a great job for us all along the way. Whenever I had questions or concerns Donna was right on it and got back to me quickly. We had concerns about the hurricane that was heading to Nassau and she made sure we were protected in case the dates had to change due to damage. She also set up entertainment for our Awards Banquet that worked out very well. Your online registration helped a ton in managing things here as to who was committed and who wasn’t. It was easy to use and I was able to review it often.
The Sheraton that Van Zile recommended to us was a great choice and they helped make our conference a lot of fun and very successful. We even threw a curve ball at them during the pre-con meeting 5 hours before our cocktail party. One of my long term employees had turned fifty that day and we wanted to do something fun at the cocktail party. Their “Director of Fun”, Kirk handled this himself and did a fantastic job. My employee will always remember his 50th at the Sheraton in Nassau. Our contact at the Sheraton, Katrice did a great job for us and I want her to know we would recommend their resort for these type events to anyone.
Thanks again to all who helped put this together and we will not hesitate to use you again for other events."
Tom Cavanagh, Element K, St. Kitts, 60 people
"For years now, Van Zile has been doing our corporate travel and recently took over our Circle of Excellence Program. You have always made our employees feel special and they often comment about how well you have taken care of all their details. There will always be something unexpected that pops up and the curves have always been transparent to us. Thank you for all your support through the years."
Robin Driver, IBM, Dallas, 336 people
"I'd like to thank our registration supplier, Van Zile, for building the FS3 registration process so quickly. From the time at which the IBM PO number was received to the time at which the registration site was built, tested, up and running was less than 24 hours. This is exceptional, especially considering that building and testing a registration process typically requires 1-2 weeks. THANK YOU VAN ZILE!!!!"
Dan Bump, Pelton & Crane, Hawaii, 286 people
"I just wanted to take a minute and once again say thank you for your company’s tremendous support of our recent trips to Hawaii. Your onsite travel manager was not only organized and professional, but quite entertaining and enthusiastic with our customers. What a pleasure it was to see our customers hug her goodbye as well as us."
Meetings:
Linda Salpini, Pictometry, FutureView, 300 people
"As I have stated in the past, and never mind repeating myself, the success of [FutureView] is also a reflection of the contributions from Van Zile. Karin & Marie have continued to manage the reservation process, hotel room management, and all of the onsite support services in a professional manner. They represent both Van Zile and Pictometry in the best possible light. Every year, I have the opportunity to spend a portion of the registration day working along side of them. Any concern or question is handled effectively and always with a smile!...Thank you to Karin, Marie and the entire Van Zile Staff working behind the curtains for contributing to the success of FutureView 2010."
Joan Bozman, Welch Allyn, National Sales Meeting, 260 people
"For the past three years, Van Zile Travel has managed my list of attendees for our annual national sales meeting. We are a group of 260 people. And, from keeping me on top of what was going on with the rooming list to grappling with such mundane elements such as shirt sizes to choices for recreation day Van Zile has done it all, and with admirable professionalism. I will never try and execute a meeting of this size without their assistance. The attention to detail is, without a doubt, the best in the industry. It would be difficult for me to do my job without them.
Lori Guarino, Eastman Kodak Company
"Each year I host about 300 customers and Kodak people for a several days at the Hyatt. This includes an extensive schedule, rooms, presentations and lots of registration activity....last year it even included taking a photo of each person as they checked in. Donna's upbeat friendly attitude is a wonderful way to have my customers greeted. She is a total "can do" person and no matter what someone asks or requests - she finds the answer without exception. She makes very quick and CORRECT decisions about the best way to proceed in any situation and I totally rely on her expertise."
Kathy Labbate, Carestream Health, US&C Leadership Meeting
"You picked another great hotel for us. We are in Toronto at the InterContinental Hotel. Everyone commented on how nice this hotel is, the rooms are great, and very clean. They couldn't believe the price you negotiated. The staff is very friendly and the food is fantastic! The location is great, within walking distance to all the restaurants."
