"I have attended Debbie Durkin's Main Event Red Carpet Lounge & Green Suite (Oscars & Emmys) with my series regular actors and hands down - Debbie puts on one of the best Suites in town! The Main Event Suites are more like attending a party with old friends. Everyone feels so welcome and the overall mood of the room is casual, relaxed and fun! Somewhere along the line Event producers forgot about the fun part. Not Debbie! This gal knows how to put on a classy event with quality trends of style and substance and she never loses track of the fact that it needs to be a celebration with tons of fun! Debbie Durkin is a class act and knows how to put on a Hollywood Event. My clients and I could not be happier. You did an amazing job. Thanks Deb!"

"I attended the 2007 Emmy's gifting suite and got amazing press via celebrity photos with my product. As a result my product sales went up" "thanks Debbie!!"
Ryan Trujillo, Dragonfly Clothing, Marketing Director

"Thank you so much for getting in touch with me. The event was a wonderful experience to not only raise money but awareness within A-list Hollywood. As a young non-profit, events like these allow us to have a great footing for exposure. It's been exciting to see the press come in and hear about more celebrities wanting to get involved with our cause. Many donations to Invisible Children were made personally throughout the event, and we are always encouraged when we hear how people like Jonathan Lipnicki have been long supporters of our work. With the generous $1000 donation, we raised more than $3,000 for the event! Very exciting! Thank you so much again for this opportunity."
All the best, Carolyn Sams, PR Director Invisible Children

"I have known Debbie Durkin for over a decade. As an agent, she had started up my Acting career in Hollywood, with major roles in films like Apollo 13, Seven, The Craft, and many TV shows and Soaps. She also sold my first screenplay. She was always on the go and on the ball, and I have learned an enormous amount about the nature of "the business" from her. It is always a pleasure and an honor to work with her."
Endre Hules, SAG-Award Winning Actor/Writer/Director

"Seventeen years ago when I was just starting out as a photographer, Debbie Durkin was a tremendous help when it came to finding talent and production people for my shoots. Before that time when I had an advertising agency, she and her company helped us put together the teams we needed on schedule and on budget. In the world of print production with tight deadlines and last minute changes, reliable and knowledeable help like that is essential and not that easy to find. Debbie always came through."
John Manning, Manning Photography, Chicago/NYC/LA

"I'd written an offbeat comic novel and I'd given up on finding a publisher, and was ready to self-publish. Debbie made a commitment to this project – she stuck with it for TWO YEARS and shopped the book until she found a publisher that stayed true to the work. Within a few months, Debbie turned the success of the novel into a sweet TV Pilot writing deal. Without her help, I'd be parking my writing on the shelf; instead I'm published and a working writer."
BK Wells, Author, Playwright, Stand Up Comedian
