Testimonials

Choosing someone to plan your event is stressful—a solid working relationship, trust, and experience are so important. But don’t take it from me! Take it from people I’ve worked with to create successful events over the years.

 
 

Anthony Wark

Hyper-Local City Manager, Match MG Marketing (Diageo)

“Ann Lastuvka was my direct contact in sponsoring Bloktoberfest 2018 in Philadelphia, PA. Throughout my four-month experience in preparation with the festival I found working with Ann to be both enjoyable and efficient.

Her timely responses to email correspondence and phone calls made for quick turnaround time on all of my request. Her understanding of festivals, and how community interaction plays a role in the success of an event is unparalleled and incredibly useful.”

 
 

Alexis Cohen

Vice President, UVA Club of Philadelphia

“As President of the UVA Club of Philadelphia, Ann has truly gone above and beyond in her service to the alumni community. Ann stepped up to lead the club at a time when many board members were stepping down, and I really think that the club would not have continued to exist without her leadership.

As a volunteer, Ann puts in countless hours per month to manage the club and plan events. Ann also works hard to make sure we have events targeting a wide audience. With Ann's leadership, everyone feels included, involving alumni and friends of all ages both in the city of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.”

 
 

Christina Polenta

Chair, UVA Young Alumni Council

“Nominated by fellow Philadelphia alumni, and many of them, Ann has worked tirelessly to expand alumni engagement and promote UVA in the City of Brotherly Love. During her tenure as Club President, she has created an inclusive, welcoming and engaging environment for alumni and friends of all ages.

Ann spearheaded a game watching event for a UVA basketball game with over 900 people in attendance, reportedly the best attended UVA Club event ever. According to her nominators, her loyalty and dedication to the University comes in all that she does, and her contagious enthusiasm for UVA has grown Club outreach and engagement, and consequently, the University’s positive presence in the Greater Philadelphia and Mid-Atlantic area.”
