Andrea Dickstein, Director of Marketing

Eppendorf North America 

After so many years of doing all the RFPs and scouting ourselves, we realized there was someone who could do this for us! Once we engaged Site Search & Select, we never looked back.  Best thing we ever did for sourcing properties and DMCs for our National Sales Meetings. From location suggestions, to property recommendations, contract negotiations and just general consultancy they have been absolutely amazing (and fun!) to work with.  Truly, remarkable collaborators for our organization.

Yash Egami, Vice President Content Marketing

The One Club for Creativity

I can't stress enough how important it is to have Site Search & Select involved when you're planning a conference, it will save you a lot of time and money. The team of Michael and Bill seem to know everyone in the hospitality and tourism industries and they'll help you choose the right venues, connect you with local tourism officials on the ground, negotiate contracts on your behalf and let you focus on creating the best possible experience for your guests. I just wish I had known about them all along!

Laura Lynch, Executive Assistant to the Vice Chairman

Corning Inc.

Site, Search and Select has had a significant impact on our executive event planning processes since 2014.  From the initial search processes to the final selection, they are thorough, detail oriented and responsive to our needs and requirements.  We would not be as successful with our executive programs were it not for our extraordinary partnership.

Diane Falkenberg, Corporate Events Manager

Farm Credit Bank of Texas

Michael and Bill are the best in the business. Their network is endless and they provide the most prompt service I have experienced in the 20+ years I’ve been in event management. They consistently provide an array of solutions on time (or earlier) and are extremely detail oriented. I consider them to be an extension of my team. They seriously care about your event. If you are looking for the perfect venue or DMC, Site Search & Select is your solution.

Toni Logan, Vice President of Marketing

American Integrity Insurance Group

The team at Site Search & Select was an incredible resource for our recent event planning needs. We were hosting two events for our top performing agents, and they were a wealth of knowledge regarding locations, venue options, contract negotiations and — most important  — reducing so much of the stress that comes along with planning large group events. Their expertise, relationships and love for what they do is what makes them so successful. They are far more than a vendor; they become a true partner to help make sure you find just the right property for your event!

Amy DePaoli, Director of Marketing

Pilot Freight Services

Site, Search & Select has been an incredible resource for Pilot Freight Services. We have very specific criteria for venues, which can be difficult to find, particularly in the price point and size of our programs. Michael and Bill are always able to deliver a unique venue that meets our needs and goes beyond our expectations. They have a boutique feel with endless resources. From the meeting about an upcoming program to arranging site visits, contract negotiations, and a post-mortem after the event, Site, Search & Select is a great partner through it all and a huge part of the overall success of the program!
