Reviews of Boom Goes The Drum Event Planners (Event Planner)

Mike Morrison

I've used Boom Goes The Drum for four different events: An awards show (The Hashtag Awards), two conferences (SocialWest) and a smaller networking event, and I'm always amazed at how they can handle anything and everything. Better yet, they do it with ease and grace. I like to think I'm pretty easy to work with, but as the event gets closer and closer, I definitely panic a bit and start going a bit crazy. But nothing that Boom hasn't been able to handle. I recommend them to everyone. Very worthy of a five-star review!

The team at Boom Goes the Drum is incredibly talented and a delight to work with! They are great listeners, doers, problem solvers, and very professional! Planning our wedding with Boom was easy and we felt like we were always being taken care of. Do yourself a favour and hired them to take care of you!

Boom Goes the Drum is one of those rare companies that really understands how to be the best. They don't just put exceptional events together, they think about the entire guest experience from before the event even starts, to well after it's over. They have impeccable taste, perfect attention to detail, and a passionate creative team who clearly love their jobs and are a blast to work with. I recommend Boom Goes the Drum to every person I know planning an event.

I hire Boom Goes The Drum whenever I need an elevate an event. Derek and his team are masters of production and planning, but more than that, they understand storytelling, vibe and theatricality. Proud to see that some of the events we've been able to create together have gone on to be included in their portfolio and win awards! They deserve ALL the praise. No ego. All fun. Constant collaboration. I HIGHLY recommend working the Boom Goes The Drum team.

The team at Boom are incredible to work with. They are calm, smart, focused and natural big-picture thinkers. What's even better is they also care about all the little things that ladder up to a great idea AND they are experts at executing those little things. Their events are always incredibly impactful and they are genuinely nice to work with.

It has been our pleasure to work with Derek MacDonald as the Media Spokesperson and Fashion Show Host of Bridal Expo Calgary. He has been an absolute professional media personality and we are proud to have him represent our brand. Our experience with Derek and the entire Boom Goes The Drum team has been both positive and inspiring.

I'd give them six stars if I could. You won't meet a team that is kinder, smarter, or more fun to work with. This group is always on point, they have some of the coolest office space in the city.

I always know when I'm at an event that is put together by Derek and his team. Each event is unique in it's own way, but is consistent with flawless execution. Boom Goes The Drum not only makes the client feel at ease every step of the planning and execution process, but they are able to elevate the overall guest experience by adding a level of personal and professional charm.
