Testimonials

Some kind words from our customers

I have used Simon Smith Events for my hospitality needs at Music and Sporting events for a number of years and they have always delivered for me both corporately and personally. I have got to know the guys very well and would recommend their services for whatever you require.

- Martyn Holman

Jo at Simon Smith Events has been looking after our ticketing needs for years. He never fails to understand what we’re looking for and provides fantastic packages. We’ve never been let down and know Jo will always go the extra mile to make sure we’re happy. He’s our ‘go to’ provider.

- Philip Greenhalgh

Everything went very well. We had a great day and the facilties were first class! Very well organised! Should get some good business opportunities from it too!

- I - Global Energy Management Company

Jo: Tickets were great- thank you for another perfect event. La Tribune (hospitality on day 1) has the best location as it is right next to Court 1 and Phillippe Chatrier. Le Pavillion is a nicer set up (and has air conditioning) but a far walk and you have to go through security each time as it is actually off the grounds. We liked both, but giving you details as I thought you would like to know for other clients. We absolutely loved the French Open and will go again. Thank you!

- VIP guests from the United States

Hi Preetinder I hope you had a good weekend! I wanted to drop you an email and say thank you so much for helping us organise the concert on Friday. The bloggers loved it and the hospitality area was perfect – it was great to be able to treat them to the food and drink before and after the show. The whole event went really smoothly and Beyoncé and Jay-Z were amazing! We are definitely keen to organise some more events for later this summer.

- Leading online retailer

I just wanted to thank you for your help in making Friday a major success for us. As you know, it was a very important mix of people attending and essential that everything possible went to plan. As promised, you delivered a great evening – relatively stress free. The staff we had were excellent – very used to serving in a confined space. If we can keep a note of their names so that we can request them again? Valet Parking worked very well We now have a format to work with Good news all round
