"As a representative of Guinness World Records I have attended many major, record-breaking events around the globe, including in London, New York City, Paris and throughout Australia and New Zealand. Very few have been as well organised, as exciting and as much fun as the event that you put together for McDonald's. Congratulations to the staff of Connect Entertainment and to the 446 McDonald's Assistant Managers who are now the proud holders of a Guinness World Record."

"The team at Event Essentials and Connect Entertainment are a pleasure to work with! Their positive, can-do attitudes and ability to work with complete transparency meant that I knew I could trust them from the start and they didn’t let me down. Despite several last minute curveballs on a major premiere event Jaci, Vanessa and Matt all maintained the utmost professionalism and remained focused on solutions, not problems and I look forward to working with them again soon.
