Patricia Driessen of Perfect Sense Events has served in the capacity of an Events’ Coordinator for L.I.F.E. Recovery Association for several fundraising GALAs and excessed expectations on all accounts. The organizing committee(s), made up of volunteers & board, have had wonderful experiences’ under Patricia’s leadership. She keeps meetings productive and well organized; everyone’s input is respected & honoured and consensus decision-making is the rule not the exception. The events have been very well received, supporters come back, year after year, and the organization continues to be blessed by her guidance & advice. Her follow up is equally as professional, timely & thorough with complete spreadsheets of all accounts, tracking of income/expenditures & summary documents/visuals! Patricia is easy to talk to, positive & simply a “joy” to work with. On behalf of the L.I.F.E. Board & myself, we highly recommend her for any organizing function or fundraising event!

I had the pleasure of working with Patricia on a key stakeholder-engagement event which allowed us to share our “Learning Revolution message” with the broader business community. Patricia was definitely “all in” on pulling together the logistics for this banquet event and professionally orchestrated a thousand and one details on “the day we brought Sir Ken Robinson to town”. By pulling off a successful event we were also able increase connections to the cause of our capital campaign. Very happy to recommend Patricia to any organization looking to knock one outta the park as we did together. If we were to plan another significant event in the future it would make Perfect Sense to call on Patricia again.

President,FRASER VALLEY CHARTERED PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANTS ASSOCIATION

Patricia and her team co-ordinates all of our seminars, board meetings and annual conferences. Since Covid began, Patricia has been instrumental in pivoting us to be on a virtual platform, where we have been able to continue our monthly morning meetings, we have conducted 2 annual conferences, and still deliver professional development to our members by staying connected in our virtual world. Their organization of events is stellar, Patricia is able to adapt quickly, always has a back up plan in her back pocket, and makes it all look easy. Patricia is truly a valuable member of our association, and I am so proud and lucky to be able to work with such a talented individual.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Patricia on several projects and a couple of community initiatives. I appreciate her attention to detail, her ability to see and understand needs in advance and that she does what she says, when she says she will do it. Her follow ups and communication are excellent so there is no worry that something hasn’t been taken care of. I’m pleased to offer a recommendation for event coordination and marketing with Patricia Driessen and Perfect Sense Events.

Patricia’s services as an event planner exceeded my expectations. She publicized my event and represented me well. Her business knowledge proved invaluable to making my event (a business women’s retreat) a success. I hope to work with her again in the future.
