Mike Vendetti, Benefit Auctioneer

I would like to thank you for helping make Mulberry School's annual auction a huge success! It was a pleasure to work with you from the nery first contact phone call through the event clean-up. I appreciate that you were attentive to the specific details of the event (Steppin' Out - Under the City Lights) and site (San Jose City Hall Rotunda). Your dedication to helping our school raise funds through our silent and live auctions was evident. The day of the event, it was wonderful to have you arrive early to offer last minute suggestions and set up your equipment so that everything was operating perfectly at the beginning of the event. I appreciate that you were willing to bring your own microphone. Your suggestions for a more effective sound system were appreciated even though we were not able to incorporate it into our budget, The live auction went very well. The pace was just right for inexperienced auction bidders. Your encouragement to bid just a little higher helped us to earn all our community was able to contribute. Mulberry School earned over $55,000.00 at Steppin' Out which will support our educational program throughout the next year. Our guests had a fun and memorable evening! I look forward to working with you at future events.

Thank you for being the auctioneer at our Memories in the Making art auctionand wine reception. We have received wonderful feedback about the event, and we could see a real difference between hiring a professional auctioneer and asking a local celebrity to help with the auction. As you know, before the event we were undecided about having a professional auctioneer at our event, but we now know that it is the only way to go. Having you there raised the level of our event to a higher level, and we appreciated all of your support before, during, and after Memories in the Making.

On behalf of the entire Live Oak Waldorf Auction Committee, I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your extremely professional auctioneering services. The consulting aspect of your service was critical to the success of our auction - we implemented your ideas and the results were fabulous. Your performance during our silent and live auctions exceeded our expectations and, most importantly, we set a record for gross and net revenue - we exceeded our previous tears' record bottom line by 25%! Your personality fit perfectly with our Waldorf community. Please feel free to have any prospective clients call me for a reference. We look forward to working with you next year!
