What an incredible team! This fest has been amazing and has gotten so much publicity. Decor, cultural elements, vendor booths, the youth corner, everything. With my folded hand, I say thank you so much. I enjoy working with you and every year it’s getting bigger and better.

Your crew on Saturday night was great! Truly, they were so on top of it! Together we made the appropriate changes to set up and were able to get everything in the room that the client needed. Thank you again!

Casey, Brad and staff have done an outstanding job for me at the last three festivals. They really bust it to make things go smoothly festival day.  I know it is no easy job but they are the best of the best.  The Cooper Young Fest is the largest festival in Tennessee each year and I am glad that I can depend on your impressive team.

I really don’t have words to express my feelings but simply to say Thank you for making India Fest a huge success. People loved each and every bit of it, the drape colors, centerpiece, umbrellas in the center and everything. You both are just too good to work with and the relationship of mutual communication that we have developed is amazing. The services provided by Hicks Events Rental were brilliant and also appreciate your support in supporting India Fest.

Thank you for all Hicks did for us at ‘Biennial’. Your flexibility pre-‘Biennial’ was greatly appreciated. The on-site support to us and our vendors was terrific. All of the exhibits and signage you provided enhanced our conference. Hicks was a pleasure to work with.
