Carole Anne Devaney Speaking Testimonials

"Carole Anne was absolute perfection! Everyone loved her, and most importantly, she kept everything on time, which was really important to us. I already told her we will have her back year after year for this event because we were so pleased!"

Ashley Cruz

Manager, Community Engagement
Mental Health Foundation

"Carole Anne did a truly amazing job at entertaining the seniors. She was very well presented and prepared. From my perspective I could not have asked for anything more from her. She covered her topic very well and had a great presentation to keep the audience interested. Carole Anne seems to have a naturally genuine personality as it is which she allowed to show from the moment she arrived. One elderly lady in a wheel chair asked her for a glass of water and without hesitation she grabbed a glass for the woman. She was very easy to communicate with throughout this whole experience."

Kayla Pippen

Active Living Conference for Seniors, Flagstaff County

"I had the most favorable experience of engaging Carole Anne Devaney as emcee for the 2017 Ford World Men’s Curling Championships in April 2017. This international event requires all official functions (Opening Banquet – 900 people, Opening Ceremonies – 4,000 people & Closing Ceremonies – 9,000 people) be done in both French and English and Carole Anne who is fluent in both English and French was the ideal emcee for the three functions. Carole Anne is very professional, well prepared, always on time and did a great job of speaking to the sponsors, officials, dignitaries, athletes, volunteers and host committee. I would not hesitate to recommend Carole Anne as an emcee and would..."
