What they have to say:

Bill Hardy, Hardys Wines Australia
 “I really did enjoy my time with your team in Alberta and BC and I thought you did some fantastic work rustling up media exposure for 'me and my brand'. You will be a seriously tough act to follow!”

Kim Peacock, Publisher, Transcontinental Western Media Group (Vancouver magazine)
 “Vancouver magazine has worked with Coletta & Associates for the past five years to launch and grow our International Wine Competition, and the Big Night event. Without their partnership these initiatives simply would not have gotten off the ground. Their combination of understanding of the industry and their connections, and marketing insight are absolutely unique and invaluable.”

Christa-Lee McWatters Bond, co-owner, local lounge and grill (formerly of Vincor Canada)
 “I have had the pleasure of working with Coletta & Associates for more than a decade. They are fun, professional and stay on budget. I have to tip my hat to the whole team: Christine for her knowledge and insight, Leeann for her bright ideas and communication skills, and Julian for his excellence in events: from a cellar, vineyard or even a moving train, he always makes it flawless.”

Dawn Donahue, BC Restaurant Hall of Fame Event Producer
“The BC Restaurant Hall of Fame cannot thank you enough for your support, attention to detail, professionalism, and the incredible results you garnered for the Hall of Fame and the Inductees. Leeann, working with you sets the bar even higher for all of us to aspire to – you are a natural leader, with tact, diplomacy, experience, and professionalism. Your enthusiasm keeps the message fresh and exciting.”
