Over the past 16 years Sequoia Productions have delivered highly professional Gala Dinners for G'Day USA. Each year they shown exceptional initiative in creating a new refreshed event so as to maintain the high reputation and credibility of the Dinner. Sponsors and attendees alike have returned each year because of the value Sequoia produce. They are able to operate seamlessly in a highly demanding environment. Always courteous and willing to accommodate demands they are the benchmark without peer.

I've had the amazing opportunity to attend G'Day LA and the Governor's Ball preview party this year. Both events were beautifully done with gorgeous decor, fabulous food and drink and overall FUN. I'm astounded how well organized and efficient they were given so many attendees. Furthermore, I've had the privilege of hearing Gary Levitt's lectures on 3 Crystal cruises. He was engaging, informative and truly entertaining in discussing Sequoia's events for the Oscars and Emmys and tributes to Henry Mancini, Stephen Schwartz and others. I would highly recommend Gary and Sequoia for any event planning needs.

Having now worked with Sequoia Productions for the past 7 years I feel confident about writing this review. I have had the pleasure of working on the Oscars Governors Ball, Primetime Emmy Governors Ball, G'DAY USA, Wallis Presents: to name a few and have always found them to be extremely creative, attentive to detail and receptive to outside input from Technical Directors like myself. Cheryl and Gary are always fun to work with and expect more from themselves than they do from those that work with them. They put together teams that have the passion for what they do and create a unified team to pull of some amazing events. I would recommend them to handle any size project and know they would put all efforts towards making it spectacular.

I cannot recommend Sequoia enough! We first engaged with them for a last-minute event takeover and in an extremely short time they made our vision come to life. The photos of our presence have been circulated over and over again throughout our company, and I almost feel guilty accepting all the praise when the Sequoia team was truly behind it all. As I said to my colleague, "we couldn't even throw Sequoia a 'curve ball' request" -- because in their world of making things happen and making ideas come to life, there's no such thing as a curve ball. The icing on the cake was my close working relationship with Gary Levitt, who is the ultimate professional and nothing short of a delight. We will be working with Sequoia every opportunity we get!
