For several years now, Alex has been our rock for our annual benefit auction. She is a meticulous event planner, with an amazing ability to orchestrate complex events, always with her signature grace and humor. Her distinctive flair ensures every event is a unique experience, while keeping the budget on target.

For our new event, Jubilee Event Engineers was involved from the very beginning, providing assistance with every aspect from site selection through program development and onsite management. As a direct result of JEE’s expertise, we exceeded our revenue targets and maintained a very low expense ratio while nurturing relationships with key donors and members of the community. We had an extremely successful inaugural event that provides a strong foundation for ambitious growth targets for the future.

Thank you, thank you, thank YOU!! I can't begin to tell you how many people have told me what a blast they had. Indeed, it was a wonderful event. Again, thank you for making that happen. And thank you for everything throughout the year. Tell me when you want to sign on for next year's events. :) You are the BEST.
- Andy Smallman, Director, Puget Sound Community School
We've worked with Jubilee Event Engineers and Alex Martin for the past 3 years . . . her professionalism is stunning. Alex stays calm in the most pressured situations and is a never-ending source of creative ideas. Her extensive knowledge of any detail of the event planning process is not only appreciated by staff, but by event committee volunteers alike. She takes into account the unique need/frame/mission of our organization when recommending event ideas. Alex is always willing to give us advice and helps us train our staff to take on more of the event planning responsibilities. And last but not least, her genuinely positive outlook is both inspiring and motivating. We truly love working with Alex.

What can we say, your help was invaluable. This was a huge success and you knew when to push and when to encourage. Thanks so much.
- Dave Cook, Engineers Without Borders
With little lead time, you "engineered" a truly successful event. Your assistance with the timeline, program, and performers was invaluable. You transformed an abandoned school into a welcoming venue, and somehow turned a dirty auditorium filled with old appliances into a magical party room. Our guests were thrilled, and we were reminded once again how great it is to work with true professionals!
- Ellen Stearns, Three Projects One Community
Kudos to you! Everyone LOVED the cakes, the display and your performance. Some of the old people didn’t seem to know what was going on—but they liked it nonetheless. It was so great to have your creativity energy for our event.
- Ann Jacobus, Cornish College of the Arts
Before, we'd always done events without professional consultants. That was hard. This time we worked with Jubilee. Not only was it more fun, we raised more money.
- David Yeaworth, former board president, Allied Arts of Seattle
Jubilee helped us identify all the hidden tasks and shortcuts involved with putting on an auction. Without their help we would have spent countless more hours reinventing the wheel! They bring the experience needed to help pull off a first-time auction.
- Sharon Lee, Executive Director, Low Income Housing Institute
Thank you for everything you've did for this year’s event and last year's event... your fee is worth every penny. I was thinking about CHAC last year and Bootsy last year and Tom Douglas and the video and the 2200 in Paris donation . . . everything that goes on top of the actual event planning -- your connections and your ideas -- that is worth far more than the fee you charge. It has been a privilege for NHP to work with you and it's been a privilege to work with you personally.
