Our happy clients

And what they have to say...

"Once the doors open everyone’s breath is taken away. But that is only the beginning of the evening. After dinner the entertainment starts. The attendees are riveted and some of them crying at the beauty of the evening. A standing ovation from the crowd brings the evening to an end. Then I am peppered with questions from my management regarding how we could afford this amazing evening and this special group of amazing musicians. I was so proud to tell them they easily fit inside our budget due to the work of BEM Ireland."

“I had the pleasure to work with BEM Ireland recently with an incentive group to Dublin. I would recommend BEM Ireland highly for their professionalism, integrity, and ability to get the job done. Our group was over 250 people in two hotels had had a lot of off-site movement. Additionally, my client is very demanding with last minute requests for VIP’s that need to be handled on the spot. BEM Ireland handled all of these flawlessly without a hint of exasperation or frustration which would have been understandable. They brought the entire program in on budget and honored every commitment they made both by contract as well as oral while on-site. The best compliment I can give them came from my client who is not easy to please. His words were “I got my monies worth and more on this trip.”

"I would like to thank you for your outstanding support for our clients Best in Class program. Your support and dedication was critical to the success of the program. Averil, I want you to know how much I appreciate your attention during the planning process. Eamon, your “energizer bunny work ethic.”
