“Marilu sent me a cold email out of the blue. No mutual connection, no warm introduction — just a well-crafted note introducing herself and her services. I was curious enough to wonder how she’d found me, and then I realized she had done it for every single exhibitor at the National Home Show. That kind of initiative is rare. I was impressed enough to hire her on the spot.
She supported the Art at Home Pavilion throughout the show — helping with the website, social media, and day-to-day digital marketing. She’s comfortable with WordPress and Elementor, brings solid instincts, and showed up every single day of the ten-day run. In a live event environment, that reliability is everything.
She did what she said she would do. She charged what she said she would charge. And she was pleasant and effective the whole time. For a first-year project with a modest budget, that trifecta is worth more than I can say. Her rates were fair — genuinely accessible for a small independent event like ours — and the value she delivered was real.
What I also valued was her collaborative spirit. She gave me her honest professional advice, and when I chose to do things my own way, she followed my lead gracefully — supportive, never uncomfortable, always fully engaged.
I say this as someone with over 40 years in the event and hospitality industry. I’ve worked alongside a lot of people. When I recommend someone, it means something. I recommend Marilu without hesitation.”
