Client Testimonials

"Events are something that we have to do as a nonprofit, but as a nonprofit, we don't always have the ability to allocate sufficient staff to oversee detailed planning without detracting from their other day-to-day responsibilities. Debra and her team have proven more than capable of filling the gap for us. She's responsive to our inquires, sensitive to our needs and committed to helping us achieve our goals. Unafraid to offer options when she believes they are in our best interest, Debra is truly a valuable asset and unofficial member of our staff. We look forward to our continued partnership."

Central Union Mission, Client

“DAK Occasions has been a tremendous help to us, handling all aspects of event management as we started on this charitable journey at an amazingly affordable cost. Having their help with event management allowed us to focus on our most important asset...our guests. We would recommend DAK Occasions to any nonprofit.”
