“Julia is an asset to anybody looking to secure hotel rooms and meeting space. She is thoughtful and considerate in her hotel selections and secures the best value for the program. Her vast knowledge of the Hotel business, along with her astute contract negotiation skills are invaluable. I have no idea how we managed before she came along and streamlined the entire process for us, saving my association time and money.”
“Julia Levene is most certainly a rare gem in the ever changing field of meeting planning. She has the expertise and knowledge to support and inform planners in every aspect of the process. She achieves this by learning each detail of a meeting and working tirelessly to find the perfect hotels that will meet our specific needs. Julia flawlessly mediates between planner and sales reps and is willing to continue doing so far after a contract has been signed. She is the best advocate and consultant that a planner can have in their corner and I would be absolutely lost without her!”
“My small nonprofit offers training events throughout the country. I know Julia Levene and Association Planner Partners will give me expert advice in locating our events and negotiating arrangements with the hotels. And should problems arise, from contract to close of the training, Julia is immediately responsive to our needs. We have worked together for twenty years; I could not imagine doing business without her.”
“Julia has tons of experience in the realm of event planning and it shows when you work with her. Julia is extremely communicative, which helps keep numerous parties on the same page and the final result is a well executed event. Additionally, I truly appreciate the work she does on my behalf related to negotiating contracts and ensuring that my company is getting a great deal. Julia’s calm demeanor and expertise makes her a delight to work with.”
