Wednesday, June 2nd

“Everyone is just blown away and tickled pink… and still talking about it. It was the best day that I’ve ever seen my crew experience in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed it and I have every intention on reaching out to Gerry to share how great he was and how excellent the whole day was.”
Al West
Chief Financial Officer, Greater Miami Convention & Visitor’s Bureau
