“As a supplier, working with downeast has always been a wonderful experience.  Their team is organized, thoughtful, timely, and are equally as passionate about the quality of our products as we are. When downeast is involved, we have the peace of mind knowing that the all the behind the scenes work leading up to our activity has been completed to perfection.”

Fred Stillman, Kattuk Expeditions

“Our first experience working with downeast destination management was nothing short of excellent.  Finding new ideas for office events can become a challenge, however from the first contact with downeast their staff, especially Jenny Hasselman, was next to none.  We truly had very little to do but show up and enjoy.  The staff at downeast just needed to know the number of guests and from that point on handled every last detail.  Staff were professional and courteous and we look forward to future events with downeast.  Many thanks to Jenny and her team.”

Barb Churchill, Sr. Client Service Rep, Great-West Life Assurance Co.

“Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to you and your staff.  We have received great feedback from our guests and look forward to future events with your company.”

Over the past 5 years I have had the pleasure to work with downeast destination management with great success.  Our Alexander Keith’s birthday event in Halifax has become an annual favourite of Keith’s fans from all over the country.  The team at ddm is always enthusiastic to work with us and their operations team ensures we have smooth transfers, and their support of our on-site events makes everything look flawless. From web registration, travel bookings, on-site check-in, decor support, budget management transportation operations and on-site event staff, they have become a wonderful partner for us in our Alexander Keith’s celebrations! Slainte!

“Working with downeast was not only a pleasure, but I could not have produced such a flawless national conference and trade show without their incredible guidance, support and expertise. Their staff are super stars and I tell all my colleagues to skip the bothersome RFP process and simply hire downeast for transportation, companion program, entertainment, décor, transfers etc. Jenny Hasselman was incredible and became a part of my team and went above and beyond to help wherever needed. I highly recommend downeast destination management.”

“I just wanted to send a short note off to you, thanking you for making our RAI conference a terrific and memory filled experience for us.  This was our first experience presenting at the conference and your professionalism and guidance made it “smooth sailing”.  I’m sure that we couldn’t have been able to get through it all without your help.

You are really great at what you do. Thank you so very much.”

“We have been working with downeast destination management for many years. Recently, they helped us plan and execute two very important events. The service that we received was fantastic and we always feel that they have our very best interests at the forefront when negotiating with suppliers on our behalf. They have become a valued partner, especially when we want to wow our guests; we will be engaging the ddm team to assist us in creating truly top notch events well into the future.”
