Our Clients
To name a few…
We have had the pleasure of working with the Maribeth Smith & Associates team for the past five years for our annual Marian University gala, and because of their creativity and expertise, we have continued to host a crowd of over 1,600 people for this event each year! Maribeth Smith & Associates’ relationships with event vendors, hotels, and community members benefit all their clients and ensure professional, strategic, and inspired event production. The MBSA team has been an invaluable resource for our important event each year, always respecting the university’s mission, event goals, and budget.
The Colts are huge Maribeth Smith & Associates fans. We have relied on Maribeth Smith & Associates for nearly 25 years to help us plan and carry through events that need to be impactful and memorable, and every single one of those events has been a smashing success.
One thing I really value as a client of Maribeth Smith & Associates is that our internal team has really grown from working with Maribeth and her team. Not only have they invested time and energy to make our events successful, they also help our staff develop new skills, which pays dividends far beyond the events themselves.
INHP has contracted with Maribeth Smith & Associates for over 15 years to provide expert event planning services for our annual fundraising event. We have benefited greatly from their strategic counsel, resourcefulness, creativity, and attention to details. INHP enjoys the partnership with MBSA, and we look forward to planning meetings with their leadership team and the enthusiasm of all the MBSA associates.
