Hear What They're Saying

It was such a relief not to have to worry about anything knowing your capable staff had it all “under control.” I especially appreciated Antonio’s technical assistance, dependability and easy-going manner.

VBCPS Teacher Forum National Speakers Series 

It was all wonderful. Nothing but compliments. The entire staff at the [VBCC] and [caterer] could not have been better. Also the quality of the food at both the Ladies Brunch and President’s Banquet was excellent. The other locations that SASA goes too, Myrtle Beach and Pigeon Forge does not come close to what we have at Virginia Beach. Thanks so much for all of your personal attention too.

David Monell, SASA Past President

You all did a great job! The food was great as well! I heard lots of nice comments! Look forward to working with you again next year!

Mary Kay Regional Sales Convention 

I consider the VA Beach CVB an extension of my office. They took the time to thoroughly understand my event. In every area - they exceeded my expectations. I believe [they] added value to my event, brought quality and professionalism to my team and helped me take my event to a level higher than it could have obtained without their involvement.

Dean Jones, CMP | Conference & Events Manager

Rejuvenate Marketplace 

What a great event! The CVB really did pull out all the stops. I have to say, they are a very special team who provided an excellent experience.

Rejuvenate Marketplace 

The members of my team, as well as my client, were impressed with the professionalism and excellent service we received from the convention center staff at every turn. I felt fortunate to work with a group of professionals that understand the unusual balance of calm and efficiency that keeps the rest of us on track. I am pleased to now consider Virginia Beach for my other clients’ needs knowing that the city can truly offer excellent service and execution of a flawless program.

USS George Washington Holiday Banquet 

This was STIHL’s third holiday party in as many years at the VBCC. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with the same event staff. We keep to the same format, just changing up the food and decor. We feel the Center’s staff is hard working and they give us excellent service. We hope to see you next year!

Kimberly Holland

Kimley-Horn Holiday Party 

Weather was horrible and the van was already circulating parking lot for our guests. Several VBCC staff volunteered & provided umbrella coverage for guests coming off the bus. This was such great customer service without having to ask! We wanted to have a bit different feel and atmosphere for this year, all the recommendations were spot on. The VIP reception was the best in five years!

Gretchen Allen, Director

United Way of South Hampton Roads Women’s Initiative Luncheon 

Thank you for a great event! Everyone had a fabulous time and the food was very good. I’ve had several people tell me how good the food was and was a great time they had. We’ll have to do it again!

Cindy Fletcher

Everyone has been saying how wonderful the food was. The food was excellent and so was your staff. Everyone did a great job and I truly appreciate all your hard work in helping me put this together.

Liberty Tax Holiday Party 

What a great experience! From start to finish, the Sales and Catering staff were A+, and the facilities exceeded our expectations. We look forward to working with the Virginia Beach Convention Center in the future.

Kimberly Bronk

Cox Communications Employee Gala 

With your help and Jane’s, we put up a top notch event that impressed the boss and other attendees. Col Bligh was most impressed with the food service and the ability to add that table at the last minute. My meter stick was based on the glowing conversations and reactions of the attendees over the night. The best testament was the stragglers that stayed until midnight even after the CMC left.

Marine Corp Birthday Ball

 The experience was exceptionally coordinated and executed and the staff was superb. Many kudos and thanks to everyone there. I hope to someday work with them again.
