I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Emma since her days at The Landmark London through to present as the owner of Vine Tree Connections. She is by far one of the most professional, as well as personable, people I know. Emma's network, industry knowledge and contacts are vast. She is dedicated to not only the venues she represents but also the clients she works with as evidenced by the fact that we have been working together for over 17 years. She always delivers on what she promises and is always honest about what is and isn't possible. Her passion for her venue portfolio is palpable and I always know that if Emma is representing a supplier then it is worth considering for my clients. Emma has high standards and a keen focus on customer care which is always at the fore of all she does.

I have worked with Emma for nearly 20 years now; In my former life as a corporate events planner in a publishing company and in my new life as an owner of an international venue finding agent. In both companies I have always enjoyed working with Emma. She is highly professional, very knowledgeable and always willing to do the extra mile to ensure that our events are a complete success. Emma has always been incredibly reliable at ensuring we are offered the best possible rates and that the venues offered are the best suited for our needs. Every event we have run with her has always been a great success. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma and her team.

I have worked in the events industry for 20 plus years and over this time I have had the opportunity to visit many properties and destinations. Some agencies do it well, some DMC’s make an effort, some tourist boards try really hard, but Emma and her company Vine Tree Connections excel! The breadth of knowledge, expertise and hands-on care that we receive from them means that we are always confident to put forward their recommendations to our clients, regardless of whether we have personally experienced the product.

Vine Tree Connections are excellent industry partners, going beyond connections and recommendations to adding value to proposals and relationships. Specifically, I consider Emma to be incredibly well-connected, knowledgeable, and great to do business with. Evidence is that I am writing this knowing Emma for approx. 15 years. She brings not only insight and knowledge, but a passion for the properties, places she represents. Now in a management role I find myself less at industry events, but still prioritise Emma’s hospitality and discussion forums – there are always a good number of senior agency people in attendance. I also encourage our event teams to attend her events, confident that they will learn and build lasting industry relationships. Please do not hesitate to contact me if further detail would be helpful.

Emma represented Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board in the UK market while I was in the role of Director of Sales for the International MICE market. She conducted sales calls and generated MICE leads for me to convert. Together we attended trade shows, brought in clients for fam trips to LA and had in-market events. Emma was always smart and proactive in who she was targeting on my behalf. She really understood the need to find and present qualified business for our hotel members and was honestly the best in the business in terms of knowledge, attitude and professionality. To know Emma is to love her, and her clients all share this sentiment. I always felt that she had our best interest in mind and that she working hard for our joint success.
