When working an event with Erin Schneiderman, I know I can count on her to communicate the details months in advance. The great amount of written detail she provides always makes me feel comfortable that I understand what is needed to make the event successful. On site, she is multitasking and organizing the setup while using her time management skills to keep the various vendors on task. Her attention to details and understanding of deadlines makes my job easy. If there are any last minute event changes, she handles them calmly and professionally which keeps the pressure off the client and allows her to effectively manage the staff and control any budget changes. It’s always a pleasure to work with Erin.
