“GEM is one of kind, which is exactly what we needed for our Grand Opening. We turned everything over to them to coordinate the event from start to finish, and we couldn’t have been happier. We had very specific needs due to our Oscar-themed party, and GEM was there every step of the way and exceeded our expectations. Our Grand Opening drew an amazing crowd thanks to GEM’s network and flawless orchestration. There is something to be said about the expansive media coverage and talk before, during, and after the event. GEM created an amazing and memorable party for us as well as our guests.”

– Xavier’s Bar Testimony

“GEM’s expertise and successful track record helped put us on the map. Without a doubt, we wouldn’t be where we are today without GEM. Because of their reputation, expansive network, and media contacts, we relied on GEM to create an infrastructure that allows for flawless special events.

The entire staff was very professional and never hesitated to accommodate any of our specific requests. We highly recommend their service as first class in the industry.”

– Basic Urban Testimony

“Hiring GEM to execute our series of 3 Grand Openings took the dream attendance and club exposure to the next level.

GEM brought in a great deal of local media, online, TV and print, which subsequently provided Red Circle with incredible coverage and city wide exposure.

Besides nightlife, our emphasis is also to showcase Red Circle as a versatile special event space. GEM fulfilled that objective by bringing in all the top DMC, event planners, hotels, concierges and A-list influencers, and putting the WOW in their experience at Red Circle.”

– Paul Parente, Red Circle

“Gaslamp Event Management knows how to throw the best events/bar crawls! I attended Irish 4 a Day this past weekend to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and I had so much fun. The girls who were running the booth where I picked up my ticket from informed me about everything I needed to know regarding the pass, and the rest was a breeze. The venues were selling green beer and shots, and everyone around me seemed to be having as much as I was! Definitely am gonna get my hands on some tickets to the next event GEM throws.”

“I worked with this company on a promotional partnership for their Mardi Gras VIP program. The professionalism and enthusiasm displayed by the company was unmatched. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

And given that I work with a lot of organizations for partnerships and cross promotional opportunities of varying sorts and levels, this review says a lot.”
