Dear Donna,
We cannot thank you enough for making Tyler's Bar Mitzvah celebrations so very memorable.
The Bar Mitzvah luncheon you organized, hosted in our home, was warm, inviting, yet elegant and without question, delicious!
The larger event, Tyler's celebratory party, exceeded all of our expectations. Your suggestions from venue to food selections, DJ to design details,
made for an evening Tyler will always remember. (As will we all!)
Our sincerest thanks,
The Patt Family
Donna Siedman,
Nous désirons prendre quelques minutes pour vous faire part de notre satisfaction lors de l’événement du 50ième anniversaire.
En cette journée du 6 octobre 2012, tout c’est déroulé avec un tel professionnalisme et d’une planification bien précise. Qui a eu pour effet de recevoir bien des éloges autant sur la nourriture, l’animation, la musique ainsi que toute la planification.
Merci ! Encore d’avoir partagé ses moment magiques, que nos convives ne sauront oublier d'aussitôt.
Amicalement, Bernard et Manon Lemay
Dear Donna
As our children Sheri and Alex just celebrated their first anniversary it brought back their wonderful wedding day.
With only four months that they gave us to plan their wedding you made it possible. The venue of Chateau Vaudreuil was perfect. You certainly performed your magic in our contract. You thought of everything.
You saved us on the flowers. Paul was amazing, to think we had to fire our florist 2 weeks before the wedding was unthinkable!
Just want to say thank you again for making something that could have been quite stressful to be very enjoyable.
Sincerely,
Sheila and Peter Spunt
Dear Donna,
I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you for making the annual event for Kisan International Trading a huge success in every way imaginable. As I was the one who was responsible for this event in my capacity as Manager of Kisan International Trading, I can say with authority that our best, and possibly most important decision was in hiring you to take care of all the details from start to
finish. Even though geographically we were an ocean apart, your communication was smooth and professional, and we always felt well informed and up to date on the event developments. Thanks to you, our logistically complex event ran seamlessly and the very fact that months later, the guests who attended the party are still raving about it shows that you thoroughly understood the challenges and desired goals.
On top of your fabulous organizational skills, you are wonderfully creative, which was proven by the way you transformed the venue into an ambiance that was beyond anybody's wildest dreams and won't be forgotten. Each of our guests felt special, which was very important to us. The bonus was your sunny disposition which made you a joy to work with.
I personally look forward to working with you again in the future. The success of the event has left me with no doubts that you are more than capable of handling any kind of event and will surely recommend you without hesitation.
Wishing you much success, as you surely deserve.
Thank you again,
(Ashit K Shrivastava)
CEO

Dear Donna,
We wanted to thank you for all the hard work and long hours that you put into helping us plan our wedding. To say that you went above and beyond your role is an understatement and the fact that our wedding went off without a hitch is truly a testament to you and your professionalism!
From all of our meetings to last minute dress "hiccups" you were always there to save the day. You were a dream to work with: talented, energetic, calming, organized, focused and full of wonderful ideas that kept our guests talking about our wedding for weeks (in fact - they still are!).
We could not have pulled off our wedding without you and we are so happy that you were part of our special day. We will always look back on that day with the best of memories and for that we wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Hugs & Kisses,
Linda and Corey Frenkiel
Dear Donna,
I want to thank you for your enormous help in coordinating Linda and Corey's wedding.
Your constant support and guidance were invaluable. You are enthusiastic, organized, creative, resourceful, easily accessible - a delight to work with.
Every detail of the wedding was properly thought out and we didn't have to worry about a single thing.
Thanks again,
Dr. Saul and Sharon Frenkiel
Dear Donna,
Words cannot properly convey how much Bernie and I want to thank you for everything you did to help make our daughter’s wedding such a huge success. I really thought I could handle it all but thank goodness you jumped onboard for the last few months of planning and I was actually able to sleep again!
The ease with which you stepped up to the plate and helped us with decisions on the infinite final details shows what a seasoned pro you are. And while it was a wedding with pretty complicated logistics, you made sure the entire event ran smoothly and everyone had a ball.
Your relaxed and calming disposition always put us at ease and made you a joy to work with. We will certainly recommend your services every chance we get! Thank you again for EVERYTHING!
Warmly,
Penny Pedvis Tevel
"Holding a world class event has been a tradition for Kisan International Trading....where top companies and their leaders meet for our annual International Fertilizer Association conference organized at different important venues.
Until meeting Donna Seidman at Eventive, we thought planning a world-class corporate event in Montreal from Dubai and New Delhi, would be like mission impossible. Throughout the eight months of planning, Donna's extensive communication and handling of the complex requirements and myriad of details was so thorough, we felt completely confident going into the event.
The event was handled with a perfect professional and personal touch.
Donna had no problem understanding our special needs and her excellent creative ideas thrilled our guests and management alike who proclaimed this
event as our "best ever"!
Having held this annual gala in various cities around the world, we can confidently recommend Donna and her first-rate team at Eventive to handle any event. Her expertise, attention to detail and professionalism is apparent from start to finish.
Donna clearly knows how to turn a dream into a reality!
With best wishes,
(M C GUPTA) DIRECTOR

Dear Donna,
Thank you for all of your assistance provided to Aaron and I prior to and on the day of our wedding.
Your knowledge and professionalism made all of the wedding planning go much easier for us, and knowing that you were there to oversee everything on the day of the wedding really put me at ease.
Every bride should be as lucky to have a wedding planner like yourself as part of their wedding day! Thank you!
Alexis and Aaron Hefter
“Words cannot possibly express how much we appreciate all you’ve done to make this special day so much more special.
You offered your expertise and creativity beyond our expectations and you turned what could have been a Cinderella nightmare into a beautiful ball. If not for you, we would have been totally stressed out planning our wedding. Instead, this experience has been positive and fun! Thank you so very much!”
Frani and David Altro
“I needed an event planner to help organise my 40th birthday party. I am a Montréaler but now live abroad and I needed someone to arrange everything for me including finding a venue, designing, printing and mailing all invitations, keeping a tab on the RSVPs, coming up with a menu and entertainment, etc. We needed a professional and efficient event organiser who could work under pressure with clients and guests living abroad. After many months of searching on the internet, I was about to give up on finding an event planner of international calibre. A friend of a friend had mentioned Ms Seidman and we were not disappointed. Her attention to details was a Godsend and nothing was too small nor too great for her to carry out with the most efficient manner. She proved to be devoted to the task from the get go. People still talk about my 40th as the best party they ever went to.
Thank you Donna.”
Isabelle Faulkner
"On July 26, 2008, there was a wedding, not just any wedding, the most talked about, raved about, most exquisite wedding in the history of our town.
It was our wedding, and we needed extreme help in planning this event. Luck brought us upon the website of a Mrs. Donna Seidman from Eventive Planning, which was by far one of the most important decisions we made and one of the best. This most gracious person we think we have ever met and worked with, Mrs. Donna Seidman, followed through and exceeded all her job requirements that were outlined in contract.
She by far surpassed our expectations of what we wanted from her as a planner on a personal and professional level, she made our special day a fairy tale to remember and dream come true.
Her confidence and technical organizational skills were never less than the perfectionist that she is, every smallest detail was met with poise and professional expertise.
Thank you is an understatement on the work that was put into this wedding, I recommend if you would like to have a real, memorable event, you can put your trust in Eventive for it to be more than a success!"
Sincerely,
Mary and Barton Goodleaf
“This was my third year as honorary Chairman and I must say that this was by far the best ball ever. Donna was an excellent coordinator. She handled everything…in a very professional manner and in a very organized fashion. Her interpersonal skills are also excellent. She oversaw a committee of 15 people who also all enjoyed their experience. It was truly a joy working with her.”
Robert Walsh, Forensic Technology WAI Inc., President
"Ms. Seidman has the rare ability to envision the big picture but still sees even the smallest detail. Her grace and enthusiam even under pressure make her the ideal team member while her focused persistence makes her a leadership force to be reckoned with. No doubt that anything she decides to put her hand to will far exceed one's expectations of success."
Belinda Pyle

“…I wanted to thank you for a job well done. In delegating the event planning fo my 2005 charity event for the MS Society, I was concerned that it would not get done as well as I could plan it. To my surprise it was done much better than I could have hoped….I really needed to be seen in the best light. Comments from participants included: “The event ran perfectly”, “These things are normally such a bore and we had such a fun time”, and “Make sure you invite us next year!” It was music to my ears, especially for a charity event….It was a pleasure working with you, thank you for your help, advice and calming ways. I look forward to our next event.”
Mark Tetrault-Assante Wealth Management, Personal CFO
“…Ms. Seidman showed tremendous organizational capabilities combined with a wonderful imagination and talent for innovation. Furthermore, she was able to energize the Committee, made each member feel vital to the success of the Ball and quite frankly charmed us all with positive outlook, confidence and cheery personality. She was always available to me if I required information, assistance or wished to make comments or suggestions, even at times when I’m sure she was overloaded with other priorities and concerns….due to her efforts the Ball was a tremendous success and indeed I counted among the best fundraising events ever held by the Society….reaching the maximum attainable revenues for the event…for the first time in my memory attendees asked to be put down for tickets and/or tables to the 2006 Ball.”
Leslie A. Beck, Alzheimer Society of Montreal, President
“Your professionalism speaks for itself. Your efficiency in planning and your devotion to details made the work for everyone involved an easy task.”
“In my view you did a magnificent job. CONGRATULATIONS!”
Michael Litwin, C.A.
