October 8, 2013Marci Mannis - great to work with!
We hired Marci for our largest annual fund-raiser and her dedication to working with our committee was impressively patient and steadfast for months prior to the event. She used her connections from the community to help raise our numbers from the previous year. The National MS Society, Upper Midwest Chapter will forever be grateful for Marci’s Auctioneering expertise in this year’s “On the Move” Luncheon!

October 4, 2013Marci was "heaven sent"!!!
Our choice to make a switch from our regular auctioneer to Marci paid off in spades! An astounding 82% increase can be attributed to Marci’s persistence, grace and ability to connect with our audience. Her smart sense of how to price the items and the order in which to introduce them made the outcome of our 125th-year Anniversary event a complete success. Her energy and suggestions leading up to the event, and her willingness to work with our team make Marci a top contender in the Charity Auctioneering sector.

Marci has been such a pleasure to work with thus far. We have a fundraiser event next week that she will be auctioneering, and in preparation, she's not only help put together a great live auction program, she's secured a number of auction items! Just goes to show the dedication and commitment Marci brings to the table. She truly is a cut above!

I have known and worked with Marci for well over a decade. She is truly at the top of her game when it comes to stage presence, bringing in money and interacting with the crowd. I would recommend Marci for any charity event looking to raise their numbers from the previous years. She has a unique style and her smile and command of a room is the ticket to her ability to bring in the big bucks!
