"We were so lucky to have been recommended to work with Chantal at Venice à la Carte for our annual Congress in Venice in April 2019.  Chantal was amazing, especially in such a logistically challenging city like Venice.  Her local knowledge was very impressive as was her very quick understanding of what we wanted to offer to our delegates and partners.  Chantal suggested some very special excursions for our high-level partners, and their feedback was that they were some of the best tours they had ever done.  Chantal was extremely pleasant to work with, as well as highly efficient, responding as quickly as she could to our requests. We had some tricky logistics in moving 300 persons out of Venice and back on the same day, and it all went exactly according to plan.  I cannot recommend her highly enough.  We honestly could not have executed this event without her invaluable help, and I will really miss her now that the event is over!" Amanda Millard Event & Office Manager, International Wool Textile Organisation AISBL Brussels, Belgium

"There is only one reason that I could be a laid-back organizer... I had chosen the right DMC with dedication to the client and knowledge and experience in "doing the incentive business". So I am glad that I met two ladies who gave me the feeling that I was not only an on-site organizer but a guest as well."

“A mon tour de te remercier pour ton efficacité, ton professionalisme et ta gentillesse.  Si le congrès est une aussi grande réussite, c’est aussi en grande partie grâce à toi et les gens qui t’entourent.  Ton support et ton travail nous ont été précieux.”

“It seems an eternity since we first met all those months ago, and the sheer volume and quality of work which has since been achieved has been fantastic!  You really have been fantastic, and I know it can’t have helped receiving quite so many e-mails and requests from all of us – at all hours of the night !!!  We really loved working with you, and your professionalism and knowledge were unsurpassable.”

“Marie-France and her team are simply fantastic.  We sourced and contacted several DMCs directly.  Venice à la Carte seemed to listen more carefully to our needs and then quickly put together an excellent program for our 88 staff that was an eloquent mix of experiences, history and culture.  This was then executed with precision and with a team that supported it with a friendly and knowledgeable style.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Marie-France and her wonderful ‘Venice à la Carte’ to any organization who, in our opinion, wants to use the best in Venice.”

"So, first of all, I would like to thank you for your very professional, efficient and incredibly thorough approach to managing our transfer logistics at the Venice Festival of Media. I particularly appreciated your obvious understanding of our desire to deliver the best solution for the best price, and also your patient and yet "no-nonsense" approach with our multitude of demanding sponsors.

"Our event in Venice was magical! A very heartfelt thank you to the entire staff of Venice à la Carte for your professionalism, your creativity and most of all, your flexibility in understanding the needs of our very specialized clientele. The program exceeded our expectations in every way."
"Beautiful accounting work by the way. Yours was the easiest final invoice I've ever had to reconcile and code. You rock!"

"You deserve every accolade I can think of! I am so very grateful for your attentiveness, professionalism, creativity, and responsiveness.  It was so easy to work with you.  You respected my budget, you listened to my needs, and you cared as much as I did about crafting a program that would show the best of Venice. You overlooked nothing - and paid attention to the smallest detail.  You poured your heart and soul into every detail.  It's obvious that you have earned the respect of suppliers and guides throughout the city.  Always important - but never more so than in Venice - where the logistical complications are enormous!" Marilyn Murphy CEO, The CTP Group California, USA

Once again, it was a pleasure to work with you and your sister, and I thank you for helping us put on a great event. The feedback from our guests was generally in the "best event I've ever attended" genre."
