Even so, I signed high-end clients from the very start of my business and produced events for over $1,000,000. I started Jubilee Events with NO experience, NO contacts, and no training or support available these days. Over the years, my team and I worked with hundreds of clients worldwide, from New York City to Fiji, Vermont to Costa Rica, and Barbados to Paris, celebrating moments that mattered in our clients' lives.
