“Vanessa Kogevinas is a dream! She is an organized and efficient leader who knows how to direct and manage large-scale projects; all with her signature “can do” approach. Vanessa excels in managing people and processes, is well-versed in untangling complicated circumstances and knows how to keep the trains running on course. Beyond all that, she also has a charming personality, and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her.”

“Vanessa is a pro – dependable, detailed, thoughtful, creative and strategic. She is a problem solver who gets the job done and makes everyone love her along the way. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”

“Working with Vanessa was a seamless experience from start to finish. She understands all the meticulous details involved in setting up a successful event, and is relentless about ensuring that all of the details are discussed, remembered and put into action. Because of her background as an editor and writer in the design world, she genuinely understands design world aesthetics and style, and how particular and discerning designers are by nature. Her coordination of Snyder Diamond’s important 65th anniversary party, our largest fete to date, was a stunning and memorable experience. I highly recommend her.”
