Vanessa K. Productions is one of the most professional, efficient and hard-working teams we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Long story short, they are experts when it comes to event production and managing relationships (not always easy when dealing with tight deadlines, conscientious sponsors and high-stakes events). Vanessa and her team have built great relationships within the design industry and bring top-notch service to their work. They were THE natural first choice to assist us with production and marketing support for WestEdge Design Fair.

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.

As usual, always an amazing job. Everyone’s hair is on fire and you are a sea of calm. That’s why everyone likes working with you. Always admire that about you. Congrats! Great event!

We worked with Vanessa on the recommendation of another volunteer, and we’re absolutely grateful for the immediate impact she made. Vanessa is calm under pressure, has exceptional insight into any scenario we threw in her direction, and acted with immense grace and overwhelming competency throughout her work with us. She is an asset to any organization she works with.

As a contributing editor for California Homes for the last eight years, Vanessa Kogevinas has never missed a deadline. She is an excellent writer, extremely ethical and a proven professional. She is always ready to step up to the plate to help solve problems and is a valuable team player. I value our working relationship, and friendship that has grown over the years.

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.
