The San Diego Padres on McFarlane Promotions ...

"I highly recommend Laurel McFarlane and McFarlane Promotions for special event planning and implementation. I have had the opportunity to work with Laurel on a number of events over the past five years and she always showed a customer focus while consistently performing at an exceptionally high level."

Erik Judson
Vice President
San Diego Padres

"We knew that in order to adequately celebrate the opening of PETCO Park we needed a strong, creative and organized firm to assist with the gala planning. With McFarlane Promotions we not only found a terrific event planner but also an event staff who worked well under pressure and turned our ballpark into an unbelievably beautiful gala space.

We trusted McFarlane Promotions to hire our gala vendors and event crew. We were very pleased with their professionalism, timeliness and organization.
McFarlane Promotions managed these groups well which ensured that our timeline was not compromised."

"Laurel McFarlane and her dedicated staff continuously provide professional, imaginative, and thorough service to our organization, through the production of our various annual events. The Downtown San Diego Partnership's events have become more successful in raising money, better attended, and simply more fun since we brought the McFarlane Promotions team on as our official event planner. They take our goals and ideas for the event to a level we could never have envisioned - we could not be more pleased!"

"I have done a variety of major events including the Rose Bowl for 25,000 people, galas, fund-raisers. Laurel and her team at McFarlane Productions are heads and shoulders above the others at creative design, development of the event, and eventual production. They leave nothing to chance, manage every detail and work the very best deal with vendors to maximize proceeds." Don't think twice.

"Thanks in large part to Laurel's efforts, the Gaslamp Quarter is fast earning a reputation as the place to go for unique events, resulting in positive publicity and the impression that the Gaslamp Quarter is a fun, friendly and festive place to visit all year long. Thanks to her efficient and professional organization of ShamROCK and the Fall Back Festival, Laurel and her company have successfully raised substantial funds for the Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation."
