“I was first drawn to WholeHearted because they were different in their approach and they were aligned to our value of giving back. I stuck with WholeHearted because the team was exceptional, every detail was taken care of .. they offered a curated experience every time. Time after time WholeHearted has been focused on bringing my teams together in a meaningful way both virtually through the pandemic and in person. I couldn’t imagine creating anything meaningful without this team.”

“First of all, let me just start by saying what a great event and experience you created for us and our team. Everyone loved it and it was exactly what we needed to get everyone together, closer, and engaging outside of our busy busy schedules. Our managing partner and founder was so engaged and even brought his wife into the call to participate. It was very engaging and we loved the contagious energy that put us all in the right state of mind: FUN!!!!”
