Charlton and Gina were great to work with. They communicated effectively, were courteous and professional, and worked hard to make sure my event went off without a hitch. They went to bat with the venue for us, helped us keep costs down where we needed, and treated my clients like they were their own. If you need an on-the-ground production team in Orlando, or need help putting on any event, I cannot recommend them enough.

I can not recommend aVenue Event Group enough. Charlton and Chloe were an amazing team to work with. They made sure our event went flawless, had the best ideas, and were very easy to work with. They did not only feel like an extension of my company’s event team, but great friends I got to plan and enjoy an event with. I don’t ever plan on throwing a large event without them by my side again.

There are simply NO WORDS that can express my gratitude and, honestly, amazement at how absolutely awesome it was working with Megan and aVenue Event Group. From start to finish, she was on point. She was incredibly responsive. Her professionalism and knowledge truly made me NOT STRESS as the day of our event approached. I will call her for every event I have to plan — personally and professionally. Hands down the BEST! Thank you, Megan — for making our event(s) a smashing success!

Our team had the pleasure of working with Charlton McBride and Chloe Hagle with aVenue Event Group at Ole Red in Orlando FL. We had 5 weeks to plan an event for 100 people and we were planning this event from NH! This event was a meet and greet with our outgoing University President and incoming University President, and I’m thrilled with how pleased everyone was with the event! Charlton and Chloe were so patient with all of my questions and made sure I felt confident and at ease, especially planning from so far away.
The food at Ole Red was the best and the staff superb. Charlton and Chloe felt like part of our team and assisted with whatever was needed for our event.
The event was a huge success and I’d work with Chloe and Charlton again in a heart beat!
Thank you!
