James Bennett, Founder
Our competitors still try to sneak James onto their programs as an emcee. When he’s not imagining fantastical new experiences for our customers or sending cat photos to clients you can find him creating or dancing. If he doesn’t have a camera in his hand he’s dancing. If he’s not swing dancing then he’s learning how to screen print or fiddling with electronics or learning how to pick locks or skateboarding… you get the idea. He’s like sponge for random skills. We periodically download his brain and sift through it for new ideas while he sleeps.
Nadine Sandeluss, Founder
Nadine been to over 55 countries and avoided capture in all of them. Her operational expertise makes her indispensable to our clients. Clients have accused her of having psychic abilities due to her ability to predict what they’ll need next. Her degree in Travel and Tourism is the perfect accent to her world travels. As a British citizen she takes no blame for Brexit. She’s health conscious and ultra fit. If a bully ever tries to kick sand in our face she’s our secret weapon.
Our group LOVED the beach Olympics Firefly Events put together. James and Nadine were an absolute pleasure to work with and the onsite staff were just as great. They kept our group of 100 entertained until the very end! Highly recommend!
This was the best event our office has had to date.
What an amazing experience! The DMC we were working with could not seem to provide us with the type of volunteer activity we were looking for, we had been going back and forth with them for week. I found Firefly online and from there our even was worry free. Not only did they understand what we were trying to achieve, but they came up with the perfect event for us and took care of all the details from transportation to food. The team was proactive, professional and engaging! Our Board of Governors was extremely impressed with the entire day and we received great feedback about the actual volunteer activity and the way things were handled.
