What’s better than one auctioneer?
Two auctioneers!
Specifically geared toward larger audiences, the “Tag Team” auctioneering style allows for more competitive bidding, greater visual coverage of bidding around the room, and a good deal of comedic relief.
Ausgezeichnet!
David and his business partner Chris were game changers for our Gala in 2024. Because David took the time to really understand the goals of our event as well as the logistics of the evening, joining us for planning calls and a pre-event venue tour, he was able to see the full scope of our event provide a solution to a problem we didn’t even realize we were going to have, bringing in Chris to ensure our 2024 Gala was our most successful event yet. It is not hyperbolic to say that David and Chris were the single biggest factor in the degree of success we achieved in the room that night with our fundraising efforts. Their ability to team up and cover an awkwardly shaped room to engage every table, coupled with their almost uncanny ability to play off each other to keep the bids escalating, helped us raise significantly more money than we’ve ever raised in prior years. With David and Chris you’re gaining partners who are authentically invested in your event, not just two men with mics. We are excited to partner with them again in 2025 and would recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their next event. David und Chris sind ausgezeichnet!
