What a gift to be dealing with people who are focused on conferences for professionals. I had very little explaining to do. Couldn't have asked for better service, anticipation of needs and most of all, flexibility to change rooms to accommodate the group better. There were rave reviews from many participants...a wonderful venue with great friendly service. Waltham Woods is a model of excellence for professional meetings.
I was very impressed with the level of service I received. Tracey was professional, yet had that personal touch that is so important. I felt valued as a client. Carol was fantastic. She made everyone feel welcome and well taken care of. Very important to my group. She blew them away.
We cant thank you enough for the wonderful service we received from your staff. The facility, food and attention to detail were just amazing and as a result we are still getting compliments about the program and your facility.
