“After we decided that ColorCraft would be our designer, I knew the right decision had been made. And our booth was stunning! You understood my vision, making it come alive and I was extremely proud that space represented our company. Thank you so very much for everything you did! We’ll be doing this again in 3 years and my ideas have already begun.”
“ColorCraft has my highest recommendation. They were incredibly professional, prompt, helpful, patient and knowledgable throughout the entire planning process. I am so grateful for them and their help in getting these events off the ground.”
“The team was a dream to work with. Timely and professional in communicating, the knowledge ColorCraft possesses was a wonderful asset, and the end result of the fabrication and installation was nothing short of stunning. We are very pleased this was the outcome of the first time working with ColorCraft and hope it is not the last.”
“Now that Wine & Dine is behind us I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for all of the work that went into designing it, building it, permitting it, and breaking it back down. I know how much went into it every step of the way—sometimes during the final hour and I just wanted to say thank you so much on behalf of our AdventHealth team. It was beautiful and so well received by guests—it was so fun watching people interact with all of the different elements.”
“I have to say the whole team was very impressed with the execution of the booth and the design looked very professional. Our booth stood out among the other booths and we received a lot of good feedback. I also really appreciate the communication throughout the entire process (before and during the show). Lauren was always super reachable. Therefore, thank you so much to help making it a great show for us! It was a pleasure working with you!”
“Lauren is always there to help either with a change or to fix an issue. The install team in El Paso was OUTSTANDING!”
“Lauren and Davis took the stress out of tradeshows. They were always willing to help and had numerous solutions to any concern I had. They brought our vision to life with renderings and everything was magically setup when we arrived in Columbus.”
“The work you both have done for us at Prodigal has been nothing short of great. From helping us design a custom booth to continuously helping us with our booth shipping and storage from show to show. You both have truly been a pleasure to work with and have proven to be a very valuable vendor.”
“Great work all of you at ColorCraft! We are delighted with the booth, and your local team has truly stepped up. We feel we’ve built the best-in-show booth and we are directly challenging some of the biggest names in the world when it comes to excellence in trade events. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts!”
“ColorCraft did well managing a tough situation, working between two clients (Bristol Group of Companies and Bacardi USA) and two countries (Bahamas and USA). We received first class service and are very happy with the results.”
“ColorCraft was great to work with, and the product delivered met our standards as well.”
“ColorCraft was there at each step to make sure we were ready for the event.”
“I can’t say enough positive things about the whole ColorCraft team. Based on their performance and the quality of the booth itself, I would recommend ColorCraft to anyone who is in need of a booth purchase, rental, or other trade show properties. I was the booth lead at four different large, national shows this season and we used other rental companies at some of them, but this was by far the best experience I had. Thanks again to everyone at ColorCraft for their hard work and making it such an enjoyable experience for me and my company.”
“ColorCraft did an extraordinarily good job. We loved it very much; especially the colors, shape and white carpet in the booth.”
“I was so impressed with the presentation. Thanks you all so much for making this experience a positive one! Keep doing what you’re doing.”
“The response was awesome! People were amazed by the booth.”
“I just want to take a moment to thank both of you for your professionalism and support. I always get off the phone with you two feeling much calmer and more confident than when the call begins.”
“Words fail to express the success of our exhibit at WEEC. I can’t thank you enough for all of your recommendations and guidance.”
“I wanted to email you about the kick-ass booth installation for Ackman-Ziff you worked on. I heard that the set-up was stellar (I wanted to write ‘STELLAAAA’… imagining you reading that out loud a-la-Rocky Balboa). Working on this project was one of the highlights of my year.”
“We were all very happy with the results and got a lot of great comments on the booth; even from our own competition so that’s always a good sign.”
“The show was great. I can’t thank you and your team enough for your support. You are amazing to work with and your team is the best I have ever experienced. Every person that helped us with our booth was professional, positive, and really cared about their work and our satisfaction. I always know that I never have to worry when you and your team are part of mine.”
“Thank you so much for pulling LIGHTFAIR together for us this year! The booth looked amazing and we couldn’t have done it without all of your hard work and dedication to the project.”
