Micki and her team are always easy and fun to work with. The energy she and her team brings to the event is unparalleled and her expertise in the auction/emcee/fundraising space is incredibly impressive. We can't wait to host more events with Micki at the helm.
Amy Lucas, DSCA Board Member
I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Micki. From the very first time we visited with her, we knew that she was the perfect one to be our auctioneer for our school gala. She guided us through the entire process and was there with any questions that we had along the way. The night of the gala she and her team did such an amazing job. She came with the most fun and vibrant personality, and we got to see her incredible gift as an auctioneer shine through. She got the audience laughing and excited about participating. Micki doesn't just show up for the event. She goes the extra mile to get down in the trenches of the planning and all of the details with you. We look forward to working with Micki again at our next gala.
Amy Lane, Executive Director
Thank you for adding your energy, positivity and auction expertise to our 2021 Gala 2.0.
It was a breath of fresh air to have a teammate through the planning process.
Jeanette Cacciola, Director, Board of Directors
Micki is fantastic to work with. She’s knowledgeable and gives great advice across many aspects of the event in advance. She’s fun to work with in advance and during the event! Her energy at the event was the right balance of pushing for more without it being too much. She told our story so well, worked perfectly with our emcee, and ultimately helped us nearly double our goal. She has now helped us exceed our goal significantly two years in a row. We’ve already booked her for year 3!
Darla Dakin, Executive Director
Micki was absolutely key in creating a successful ‘live’ virtual event. She anticipated every detail that would ensure our guests were excited and engaged!
Jennifer Cunningham,
Director of Marketing and Events
"Our experience with Micki and her team at Hoot Auctions has been nothing short of exceptional. As a non-profit organization dedicated to serving seniors, we were initially hesitant about utilizing an auctioneer for our events. However, upon meeting Micki just two weeks before our event last year, any reservations we had quickly dissipated.
We wholeheartedly recommend Micki and Hoot Auctions to any non-profit organization, regardless of size or scope. The investment in her services is more than justified by the unparalleled results she delivers. Micki's dedication, professionalism, and expertise make her an indispensable asset to any event, and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to collaborate with her.
Jill Mitchell, Donor Relations Coordinator
Micki brought innovative ideas to our event and then was right there to help implement them. I appreciate the ease of working with her, the broad range of ideas she throws out and her professionalism throughout. She’s a bright light and her personality and commitment to the cause YOU love shines through!!
Resse, Owner
Micki is a fantastic auctioneer and has played a huge role in fundraising for our clients' successes. She is honest and direct in communication. A valuable perk is that she is well-rounded because she also has an events planning background. We highly recommend Micki with full confidence and we look forward to hiring her for multiple events in the future. Big hugs!
Lulu Jones, Executive Director
Micki brings great energy and enthusiasm to our event. She has definitely helped us raise more funds compared to not having her help. Micki's compassion towards our organization and learning about us first is over the top and makes a huge difference!
