“There are plenty of event agencies able to create exciting events – Vivace do SO much more than that. They have a genuine passion for the relevance of the content and a fastidious focus on the objectives of the event. I trust the Vivace team explicitly to ALWAYS help me exceed expectations. Their expertise is unquestionable, and their professionalism and exceptional relationship skills mean they always get the best out of my Executives, delegates and all suppliers they bring into projects – in turn getting the best results for me. Vivace add into the mix infectious energy, imagination, work ethic (I ALWAYS get more than I pay for because good is never enough for Vivace). Fantastically fun personalities that mean – whatever hour of the day or night…however many times the goalposts have been moved…or however many ‘24hrs to go’ last minute requests have been thrown at you – you’re still having fun! What better than an agency that make you look good! How about an agency that gives you all this and follow a never-ending quest to deliver more, better – they are a hard act to follow”
