Some say, “You’re only as good as the company you keep.” In our world, we’re in company with some pretty powerful people. See what they have to say about the BML-Blackbird experience.
“I wanted to give a big “thank you” to you and your team for all of your work on our client’s 2018 Global HR Summit, especially given the fast pace we moved over these past few weeks. Everyone on site was professional, courteous, and seemed to really care about the success of the event.
Kudos and thank you!”
Carolyn Quinn (Production Coordinator) and the Sequence Team
“Thank you for all your help in the lead up to as well as onsite for our event at Ellis Island – I really appreciated your quick responses and updated quotes in the pre production process. From an A/V point of view the dinner ran smoothly on the night and the crew was great! It was definitely impressive seeing the quick set up and turnaround given the tight time frame.
Look forward to working with you again in the future!”
Emma Boyd, Senior Producer – Veritas Events
“Thank you for the gear and work for the Criss Angel Live show at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. It was tough, but both performances were successful, and in the end that is what counts. I really appreciate that a BML-Blackbird Senior Manager came out and visited us personally to assist with a content issue and was involved in the whole process when not on site. We all know things can go haywire, or situations are not ideal, but that is why I choose a company like BML-Blackbird with the resources to overcome any issues that are thrown our way, especially when I am not even close to the biggest gig you have going simultaneously.
Thank you again for realizing this project for us. I look forward to another season of work together.”
Tom Pascarella, Production Manager – Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at LIU
