"Upon meeting Alyssa for the first time, I knew I was in good hands. She’s professional, sincere, organized and collaborative. I’ve emcee’d a lot of fundraisers and dinners and Alyssa is one of the best planners I’ve ever worked with. Alyssa creates a magical event your guests will rave about. I highly recommend Alyssa Rhoads. You’ll love her!"

“Alyssa Rhoads is such a lovely example of professionalism and expertise in the non-profit event planning industry. Her dedication and passion towards serving her clients is inspiring and truly remarkable. In addition to providing high quality service, Alyssa was super responsive when daily tasks or last minute event adjustments arose. Every time we had an event, I could tell that she truly was putting 200% effort into making it a success. I sincerely recommend Eventing Tampa Bay without reservation and looking forward to seeing more of Eventing Tampa Bay’s events in the future!”

"Your event coordination for the To Life event was spectacular!!! Your ability to work with a wide variety of personalities and juggle many pieces, always with a smile, was amazing. Do to your efforts, the To Life gala was well coordinated – looked, sounded and tasted great and flowed smoothly. The added value you brought to this friend and fund raiser was phenomenal and your follow up when a vendor did not perform as expected, speaks further to your professionalism and high standards. You are a treasure and It was a joy getting to know you and work with you."

"Alyssa has exactly what it takes to identify and anticipate her customers’ needs, stay calm under pressure, manage budgets effectively, and execute flawless events. Perhaps most importantly and impressively, she possesses that rare ability to deftly steer clients back on a successful path when she sees them going in the wrong direction. Often the many ‘cooks’ that turn up in fundraising and corporate event kitchens – such as board members, volunteers, sponsors, and others– begin meddling in ways that she can see will end up derailing an event. She has great skills in avoiding these political and financial snafus and delivering memorable and profitable events in spite of any obstacles. She has worked this magic with several of my clients and I could not be more pleased with her performance."

“The Tampa Bay Technology Forum contracted Eventing Tampa Bay to plan and execute our summer events and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Alyssa Rhoads took the time thoroughly analyze each event and gave us creative ideas on how to maximize on attendance, sponsor exposure and publicity! Alyssa is a pleasure to work with, responsive, and I would recommend her to anyone needing a quality event.”

"As a small non-profit in Tampa Bay with a BIG event, we needed help. We relied on Alyssa’s quick coordination, access to resources and creativity to pull off a fantastic event. Working with a limited budget, Alyssa was creative and thoughtful with expenses and always had our best interest in mind. Alyssa is easy to work with and was always very accessible. She consistently went above and beyond and for that we are grateful to her and her expertise."
