Success Stories from Our Partners

“The Best Decision Our Fundraising Team Made!”

Working with Julianne was the best decision our fundraising team ever made! She expertly guided us through every step of the event-planning process—strategy, logistics, donor stewardship, event management, and everything in between.

Julianne recognizes that no two organizations are the same; she takes the time to get to know the organization, its people, its donors, and its culture to cultivate a truly personalized experience.

She also encourages innovative event planning; if you have an idea, she’ll help you run with it! Above all, Julianne is a kind and compassionate event planner dedicated to the success of your organization and its mission. She will help you plan a beautiful event and maximize your dollars raised. This is our third year working with E + E, and we can’t imagine planning our events with anyone else!
