Praise

I’ve been working with Richard for several months and in that time I’ve seen his dedication to professionalism towards his clients and the events he produces. He has a diligent work ethic and unstoppable desire to make events better than good – he wants everything he does to be great so that his clients can have a good experience. I’ve attended several of the events that Richard has planned and they are beautifully executed and he manages to keep other event staff coordinated and in lock step. His clients are able to relax, network, and trust that he will ensure that their event goes smoothly. I would recommend Richard to anyone looking to produce a corporate event or wedding and want someone to give their undivided attention to the tasks at hand.

I have been a corporate event planner for over 20 years and I’ve never met anyone as warm, professional, and event savvy as you, Mr. Richard Williams II. It only took a few conversations early on and I knew without a doubt that I was both comfortable and confident that Luna Park Events could handle me and all of my corporate & special event needs! Your “can do” attitude and patience with me speaks highly of your organization. I also enjoy working with your amazing staff! I am excited and grateful to have the opportunity to work with a team that’s expectations (and objectives) are aligned with – and have often exceeded my own! THANK YOU, and look forward to our next successful event.

I am writing to recommend Richard Williams II, the owner of Luna Park Events. I have trusted Richard with all my company events for the past 3 years. I recently resigned as the Sales Director and National Brand Manager for Charbay Winery & Distillery, a 13th generation house in Napa Valley, California. I have opened my brand management consulting firm, Impressa. In my position I spent almost 50% of my time on the road and was often not at home in Austin to supervise our events. I now represent 4 clients who have special event needs. Richard is the one I trusted and trust to help me plan and execute all our endeavor. The quality I most admire and count on in Richard is his experience with detail. As my strengths lie in sales, marketing, and brand development, I must have colleagues around me that can see to every detail. I represent and represented high-end brands whose image needs to be presented in a manner that reflects their values and quality. I can always count on Richard to develop specialty features for our events and manage the timing, personnel, and logistics to execute beyond my expectations. In addition, Richard has a special knack for dealing with the unexpected. From vendors who are not on time or lost, to spectators who are mis–informed or confused, I trust him implicitly. I feel confident that any business or organization he handles events for will benefit from his personal approach, his experience, and his attention to detail.

I just concluded a project with Luna Park Events for a non-profit I help run called Austin +Social Good. What I’m about to say is going to sound like hyperbole, but it couldn’t be more genuine: Richard Williams and the Luna Park team are the single most professional events team I have ever met in Austin. I’ve met a lot of event planners and companies here, and although I have a high opinion of many, none have handled a project as effectively, or passionately, as this team.

They were responsible for our event being the best one we’ve thrown in our 4 years. They were responsible for the directors of our organization actually getting to drink and enjoy our event (and that’s really saying something).

The thing is, we’ve run 3 consecutive events very very well ourselves. We know what we’re capable of, and our events have been great. For us to trust another company to work with us on throwing our event was a really big deal for us. However, upon meeting with Richard and seeing his team’s process and professionalism, it wasn’t that hard to trust them to do a fantastic job. And based on all the feedback from our attendees, the proof was in the pudding: Luna Park Events created an EXCEPTIONAL experience for our night.

If you are considering this team to handle your event, just remember this: rather than having to sweat and hustle to keep our event going well, I GOT TO ENJOY A GLASS OF WINE. 5 out of 5 stars.
