L'ORÉAL COLOUR TROPHY AWARDS
"I have had the pleasure of working with Vai Leo from Exquisite Planning Limited in her role as Events Manager of the L'ORÉAL COLOUR TROPHY AWARDS in 2008 and 2011.
Vai's contribution to the organisation of these landmark events in the hairdressing world has helped make them a tremendous success.
Vai's professional attitude combined with her personal approach ensures that she delivers on the briefs given.
When last-minute changes were required and the 2011 L'Oréal Colour Trophy event was down-scaled due to the Christchurch Earthquake, Vai worked tirelessly to successfully deliver a new venue and show.
I would not hesitate to recommend Vai as
one of the premier event planners in
New Zealand."

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND ACADEMY FOR EATING DISORDERS
8th Annual Conference
"I feel delighted to have my comments and feedback included on the Exquisite Planning Limited website. We appointed Vai as the Event Manager for the 8th Annual Conference of the AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND ACADEMY FOR EATING DISORDERS (ANZAED) which, for the very first time, was being held in New Zealand. This posed quite a challenge for a range of reasons and, as Conference Convenor, I was entrusted that the conference would be of a standard that would meet or exceed the expectations of the presenters and attendees.
I truly feel we could not have made a better choice with Vai as the Event Manager.
I was impressed with Vai's high level of professionalism; she was extremely responsive to our (often changing) requests and took the lead where required. Vai was extremely reliable and responsible, she made herself available in a very flexible and generous way and, in addition, impressed with her cheerful manner which brightened up everybody's spirit, even at the most challenging of times.
We have had consistent feedback that the 2010 Conference was the best conference ANZAED has ever had. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vai once again for her invaluable contribution in making the 2010 ANZAED Conference such a success."

VISUAL GROUP LIMITED
Christmas Function
"I would like to record my personal and also on behalf of the staff at VISUAL GROUP LIMITED our appreciation at the just superb way Vai planned and carried out our Christmas function. We had been for some time a little at a loss as to how we best plan a truly memorable function, especially in light of many Companies not holding one due to the economic environment.
Vai organised a unique event that was a refreshing change from what has become rather standard and uninspiring functions where restaurants or reception venues are the norm. Our event enabled the best atmosphere that was very intimate, special, exuded class and extremely cost effective, without the common pitfalls of many Christmas functions.
Any future events we will be seeking Vai's expertise with and we will be looking forward to what new creative exquisite surprises this dynamic team comes up with.
Vai has also been part of a team reviewing some new business activities with our senior management team. I believe both Vai's inclusive style and ability to relate to all participants will be instrumental in meeting the business objectives we have set.
Please feel free to use this testimonial to any other prospective client."

VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS AUSTRALASIA VIP PR Product Launch
"We are a New Zealand based subsidiary of an American multi-national pharmaceutical company. While the brands we handle are big, our head count is not. That said, we are still required to launch new ranges and profile new brands just as our much larger Australian neighbours do, and the outcome must always be a tangible result on the bottom line.
No one understands this better than Vai.
After years in the world's largest cosmetic company, there are very few contacts she does not have.
Not only that, but her ability to deliver a great event with minimum fuss and without unnecessary expenditure, is second to none.
I can think of no better word than 'exquisite' for the results Vai always delivers - high on attention to every last detail, while she works every angle of the job to ensure the outcome is as the client requested.
I would recommend her for any event, large or small, personal or business.
