Client Testimonials
Peninsula Montessori – California
Our annual gala fundraiser at Peninsula Montessori raises money for field trips, assemblies, and school events. In 2023, without the Dukas Auctioneer Team as our auctioneers, we raised $46,000. But in 2024, with their incredible support, we more than doubled our total proceeds, raising an impressive $112,000!
The Dukas Auctioneer Team was amazing. Prior to the gala, they brainstormed profitable auction ideas and provided helpful feedback on our website and auction items, suggesting adjustments to maximize bidding. They even reconfigured the table layout to enhance visibility and participation. Their assistance with the BEO and event timing was spot on, ensuring everything ran smoothly and kept our guests engaged. They also worked closely with our DJ to ensure the Audio/Visual setup was sufficient for our needs.
Craig was a standout! He was charismatic and fun, and we received rave reviews about him and the auction. The heads and tails game he played with our attendees was a big hit! Throughout the entire planning process, Craig and Chuck were incredibly patient. Despite joining us late in the planning stage, they expertly guided me through everything (and this was only my second gala as chair!).
Thanks to their efforts, the event ran like a well-oiled machine, and I learned so much from them. I’m excited to have found such a reliable and professional team to help us boost our fundraising goals while ensuring our attendees have a great time. Thank you, Craig and Chuck, for an impeccable fundraiser!
