We helped a law firm client with the on-site management of their breakfast seminar at the Harvard Club for 200 clients and prospects on the topic of capital markets.

We helped a client with the on-site management of their 3-day partner retreat in New York City. Over 200 law firm partners and their spouses came together for two nights of client open houses showcasing the firm’s new offices, a dine-around New York City and a gala retirement dinner at Cipriani 42nd Street.
We knew how challenging it would be to execute this series of events and that we would need a short-term but dedicated extra set of hands that could do more than just administrative work. Ginger was the perfect answer! We could not have accomplished it all without her support the week before to help get the loose ends tied down. It was invaluable to have another event-focused thinker on our team. Ginger quickly understood what we needed her to do and, without much explanation, accomplished those tasks perfectly. – Events Manager, New York Law Firm, April 2011

Special events were held at GILT Restaurant and The Bowery Hotel to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the law firm Richards Kibbe & Orbe LLP. In addition to site selection and contracts, budgets and a timeline were drafted and kept up-to-date, invitations, decor, music and photography were arranged and on-site staff was provided for greeting and check-in of the 600 guests in total.

We helped a client with the on-site management of their 3-day partner retreat in Florida. Over 200 law firm partners came together for the first time in three years to collaborate and get to know each other better.
We had less than four months to plan our partner retreat in Florida. Our first question was “can we bring Ginger?” She brings her wisdom, professionalism and sense of calm to every event on which she helps us. As we walked her through our plan, she helped us make sure all details were in place (without making us feel she was taking over). She was invested in our success and took responsibility for certain tasks that let us focus on other priorities. Ginger Donnan Events is our secret weapon to making a huge event look easy! – Events Manager, New York Law Firm, March 2010

In 3 months time, 6 days of events were organized for a large corporate law firm that included registration, hotel, car service and other arrangements for 550 people, as well as a 50-person dinner, two 550-person receptions, a 400-person all-day meeting and a 670-person black tie dinner/dance.
I was given a 3 month window to plan a major international partner meeting in New York to be attended by over 400 individuals. In addition I needed to plan a formal Black Tie dinner dance on the following evening to be attended by 700 people. We had to coordinate transportation for guests arriving from over 26 countries and also hosted a series of smaller events around these two major events. I called upon Ginger Donnan to assist me with this mammoth project and was not disappointed. Ginger stayed on top of the planning and coordination, even when she was being pulled in 100 directions at once. She is organized, thorough and always pleasant to work with. I would invite her to be on my team anytime. – Rick McKenna, Chief Administrative Officer, February 2008
