Testimonials
Here's what some of our previous clients have said about us!
'Jane and Gavin not only put a lot of work into events, but they really care about the causes they support - I have no hesitation in recommending Ta-Daa! to any organisation wishing to raise funds.'
Csaba Ovari, CEO Hearts of Hope Australia
(Quiz night fundraiser; Laugh-Aid comedy fundraiser; Songs for the Heart choir concert fundraiser)
'Our group of 50+ staff had the most inspiring and surprising workshop at our Staff Development Weekend this month. The way that Jane was able to bring out the singer in each of us was smooth and encouraging, and before we knew it we were making a beautiful sound in 3 part harmony! The strong singers encouraged the more reluctant staff initially, but we needn’t have worried about prompting the group throughout the session ... they were enthused by Jane into singing from the beginning, and we had a few surprising performances from some staff! We are still hearing glowing feedback from staff, and this session will be talked about for years to come.'

'I would like to extend our sincere thanks to you for the great quiz night your wonderful team provided at our conference in Hobart. The atmosphere you created, which quickly initiated the great rivalry between all the teams, was very impressive. The questions and the method of scoring were excellent. ... There is no doubt that a professionally organised quiz night is the only way to go, and you certainly provided that for NARSA. And this, together with the humour that you introduced to the evening absolutely ensured its success. Once again, our thanks to you for a wonderful evening.'
Gary Stokes, CEO, National Association for Rural Student Accommodation Inc.
(Quiz night for conference delegates)
'It was a pleasure working with you and the team at Ta-Daa! Professional Entertainment. The Hobart City Challenge was exceptionally well organised and a lot of fun for the entire group. The vast majority of our delegates had not been to Hobart previously and this was a great way for them to get out and see the city and surrounds. We held the event on the afternoon of the third day of the conference and as it turned out it acted as a terrific energiser leading into the conference close and the Gala Dinner that night.'
Geoff Counsel, Iris Financial Group
('City Challenge' Scavenger Hunt for conference group)
'Thank you Ta-Daa! for ensuring our New Year's Eve Dinner was such enormous fun. Gavin Baskerville was hilarious and is definitely a comedian who will make it big in the future! We had a great time laughing our way into 2009 - as did all our guests. We will be looking at more such events this year and will highly recommend you to others. Many thanks.'
Peter and Anne Niven, Giants' Table and Cottages, Maydena
(Comedy performance by Gavin Baskerville)
'On behalf of GVC, I would like to congratulate you on the comedy event organised by you and your team. Feedback from attendees was that it was a brilliantly run event, with an excellent variety of comedians. I personally have been to a number of comedy festivals on the mainland and have to say that I never laughed so hard as I did with the line up arranged by you. Your staff were relaxed, friendly and professional – it was truly a memorable night.'
Dr Ginelle Cardoz, Global Vaddo Charity
(Laugh-Aid comedy fundraiser)
'On behalf of MyState Financial we would like to thank you for such a wonderful night. As the first major event we have organised, it was great to see all our staff having such a great time in a very relaxed and entertaining environment. The organisation and the running of the night was flawless, and we look forward to using Ta-Daa! again in the coming months for our next Trivia Night!'

'From the venue to the running of the Quiz Night everything was perfectly organised. Your creativity, knowledge, organisation and professionalism went a long way toward making the night inventive and fun. All this was made possible, of course, by your team’s flawless execution of a tightly packed night full of humour, fun and games. I strongly recommend you to anyone who is planning an event in Australia. I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate you once again for delivering an excellent job - I put all my trust in you and it was worth it. Everyone loved our event – you were simply great!"
