They have taken time to show me various venues, assisted in customizing my events and working within my budget. Karla and her staff are great to work with and I continue using them for my bluegrass events!"
“Many people say they plan and manage events, but few understand what it takes to deliver an event that is memorable and impactful. From the first time I worked with Karla Stahlman on an international New York convention that she managed, I was impressed with her grasp of the finest details as well as her energy and negotiation skills. I've relied on her to manage events, find and recruit star talent, and advise our clients on opportunities and challenges of hosting events. Destination Bluegrass has been an essential and reliable part of my team for more than 16 years."
