Passage Events for Dulcinea: A
quick note to say thank you for all your help with the Bite. Both of
our clients did very, very well and were really pleased with the event.
And I’m sorry I ever doubted you on the location for Dulcinea. It
doesn’t look very good on paper but when we started going – WOW! It
couldn’t have been better. Can we keep that spot forever as the special
Passage Events spot? Thanks again for everything. Hope we can work together next summer.
Sensodyne: I just want to let
you know that we couldn’t have been more happy with our placement at
Bite. I was informed by Nicole that it was by far the best sponsorship
location at the event. Overall, the event was a huge success and we
would love to return with Sensodyne and other programs in the future.
Thank you very much. Please don’t hesitate to send information on your
other events in the area.
Mobile Media Enterprises / WNBA Tour:
The event was a huge success for us, one of the best on the tour so
far. Thanks for all of your help prior to and during the event.
Emerald Queen Casino:
Despite inclement weather conditions and other unnamed obstacles,
I would like to thank you for a fantastic festival season. The Taste of
Tacoma was as wonderful as ever and was enhanced by some additions. The
Bite of Seattle was a showcase for your versatility, perseverance,
flexibility, and pure tenacity as a company and as a crew. The lay-out
was the best I've ever seen as a visitor or sponsor and I'd appreciate
it if you forwarded my sincerest admiration to the individual or
individuals responsible for laying out the event out so effectively.
Every addition from the badminton to the beer garden(s) and Pike Place
Market vendors showed skill and precision and a distinctive knowledge
of your customer base. Next year I hope that the weather is more
forgiving and the "event players" are more "forgiving, as well.
The Sponsorship Placement Company (representing Harley-Davidson): Working with the Bite of Seattle™
is one of the best event marketing experiences in the industry. Their
sponsor relations and communication before, during and post event is
terrific. I'll continue to bring sponsors to this outstanding
event whenever possible!

From the Heart of Washington booth had terrific traffic and fantastic
coverage throughout the Seattle Center grounds. Thanks to the Festivals
crew, especially Brett and intern Amanda, the Alley area and Bite Cooks
stage ran smoothly. Our sponsorship of The Bite Cooks! stage was well
received as well as positive feedback from the public. We are looking
forward to next year!
Old Bay Seasoning: This
was Old Bay's second year as Official Seafood Seasoning sponsor of the
Bite of Seattle™. Once again, the event was a great vehicle for us
to reach out to people in the Pacific Northwest. Our Peel & Eat Shrimp contest boasted record crowds and we were able to sample our product to thousands of people. It's always a pleasure working with Festivals Inc. Their staff is helpful, organized and always willing to go the extra mile. We look forward to working together again in the future.
Advil Liqui-Gels: From
the moment we arrived at the Bite of Seattle™ until our final load-out,
the event was a great success. Brett Gorrell and his hardworking staff

venue to distribute Advil® Liqui-Gels®. Festivals Inc. eliminated our
headaches, making it easy for us to eliminate everyone else’s!

year!
BrushPicks Toothpicks: The Bite of Seattle™ was by far the most successful event we participated in all

the event. Thanks so much... looking forward to next year's event!"

Marketing Agency on behalf of General Mills: Working in the entertainment and
marketing industry for over five years, I have to say that participating in the
Bite of Seattle™ was by far my best experience ever. From the preliminary
coordination stages to the end of event celebration, I have never met and worked
with more accommodating people. The staff that puts on and manages this event is
beyond professional and helpful, they have an amazing way of making you feel
that you are the only person they are there to help. With the daunting task of
distributing over 200,000 samples, the staff of Festivals Inc. bent over
backwards to ensure that the event was a total success for us. I look forward to
taking part in this event in years to come and will encourage all of my clients
to develop a sponsorship package that includes participation in the Bite of
Seattle™. I would like to give a special thanks to Brett Gorrell and Jeff Fisher
who went out of their way to make sure we reached our goals and had a great
time.

It was a fantastic event and QFC was proud to be the title sponsor and looks forward to an even
bigger and better event next year.

The Bite of Seattle™ was not just an addition to our schedule, it was an asset! The
event was all that was promised: big attendance, ideal demographics, excellent
placement, a perfect location in a vibrant city, and terrific weather to boot!
The thing that gave the Bite™ its advantage, however, was its fantastic staff. My
staff and I were well taken care of every step of the way. From planning and
logistics, to event execution, to an efficient breakdown and departure, the
event's staff was friendly and knowledgeable and never said "No." They
made me look great to my client too; what more could you wish for?
Mortgage Market, Inc., an RBC Mortgage company:
The Bite of Seattle™ provided RBC Mortgage Market

booth resulted in over 30 approved home mortgages!
