    —Lorriane, Australian Eggs

  • ‘‘I’ve personally used Rosie Buckley’s services since 2009, and I have to say that it has transformed the way I do business. By incorporating Rosie’s business platform, it frees up my time! Whilst I provide an outline of my requirements for an event, Rosie is able to gather all the options and recommendations into a 1 page document in a timely manner. This makes it seamless for when I need to present options to my leadership team. Rosie is pragmatic in her approach. It is rare to meet someone as organised and calm as Rosie. Nothing seems to faze her, she can be a sea of calm amongst the chaos. I would highly recommend doing business with her, she is a pleasure to work with!’’

Rosie has always been very positive and always has a can do attitude. She listens and delivers to meet all our venue requirements and pricing and we have been extremely happy customers of hers! Thank you Rosie for all the wonderful venues you have sourced for us over the last few years! Very happy we have your services!”
