Reviews From Event Planners
See what clients say about our staff at conferences, summits, and corporate events around the country.
  • I've been in the industry for 15 years and JV is the event staffing agency in the business. Such professional staff, and the booking process is super easy. I mean, their client list says it all. Stellar in every way.
  • I called Julia Valler Events last minute on a weekend and actually got someone on the phone… immediately. How often can you actually reach a live person anymore?!!
    From the first phone call to the final invoice everyone I spoke to, and worked with, we're incredibly professional and courtesy. The staff was outstanding!
  • Working with Julia Valler staffing was a FANTASTIC experience from beginning to end! They are quick, responsive thorough and professional! Couldn't have been happier!
  • I hosted an event with my client at their store. Victoria worked with me to pre-plan and JC helped make the event a success. I was able to mingle with guests and never once had to worry that drinks were served and guests were happy. Highly recommend Julia Valler for any event you are planning!
