In October, 2007, the leadership team from staff and Board decided to put  on an event that would recognize an organization and an individual which made a significant difference in promoting leadership and diversity in the great Pittsburgh region.   We called upon TRE Communications to lead us through this effort in 2007, and again in 2008.  The team at TRE are outstanding professionals.  Their experience in planning and execution was incredible to watch and observe.   

Regardless of the obstacles, our project manager Casey, remained calm and in control, and never lost site of the objective, or, most importantly, of the budget.  TRE consistently came up with fabulous and innovative ideas, ideas that made our event unique and outstanding.  TRE Communications is a wonderful group to work with....I enthusiastically recommend them, and I’m confident in saying that I’d always want them to be on the team that I’m working on!

I would recommend - without reservation - working with Tapis Rouge Events and Communication. You will be in the hands of consummate professionals! They are VERY hardworking, creative, fun to work with and well-organized. TRE spearheaded our signature fundraiser and did an excellent job making sure every detail, no matter how small, was addressed. They paid great attention to staying within our small event budget and still managed to create a sophisticated yet fun atmosphere, which was our goal. I am forever grateful to Casey, Erika, and everyone at TRE!
- Nicole Molinaro, Executive Director, Communities In Schools

We wanted to put on a memorable, significant fundraising event in a minimum amount of time. Many of our Board members were rightly skeptical and very concerned that we had neither the time nor expertise to pull off such an event.  Then we brought Tapis Rouge to the table.  From the outset, Erika and Casey assured us that they would help us achieve our goals and gave us the support, advice and plain old nose-to-the-grindstone hard work we needed.   They calmed our fears, organized us, gave us direction, accessed their resources, and were simply invaluable in the planning and staging of our event.  They exceeded our expectations and we will most certainly be working with them again in the near future.

I have never worked with a more professional, competent and effective organization as TRE. I recommend them highly.
– Sala Udin, President and CEO, Coro Center for Civic Leadership

The first time I met Erika and Casey from TRE I said, "Where have you been all my life."  Their knowledge of planning and public relations as well as their calm demeanor put me at ease and removed the stress and burden usually associated with this annual event.  I will never do another event without them and highly recommend them.
- Lynn Griffin, Board Chair, Veterans Leadership Program of Western PA

From the initial planning meeting through the execution of the event, TRE has repeatedly demonstrated that they were a perfect fit to plan and promote the statewide 2007 ImPAct Conference at Heinz Field.  Their genuine enthusiasm, creativity and meticulous attention to detail have made planning the Conference stress-free and exciting.  TRE is a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend them to anyone planning or marketing any type of event, large or small.
- John Richardson, Event Chair 2007 Impact Conference

The stores and restaurants could not stop raving about the amount of business they did during SouthSide Works Exposed 2006.  They said it was by far the best event we ever had and the sales were higher than during the holidays.  The amount of foot traffic was amazing and even if people did not shop that weekend, the event gave SouthSide Works great exposure.
– Pamelyn McMahon, Director of Marketing, SouthSide Works

Couldn’t sing enough praises about you guys.  I know it took a team effort, but this year’s income doubled last year’s, and you certainly were a big part of that reason!
– Sally Haas, President, Pittsburgh Airport Area Chamber of Commerce

Everything looked beautiful and elegant, we got tons of compliments on the baskets, and the guest of honor herself commented on “How good those events planners were.”  We appreciate all of your work...it was a great party!
