CUI Makes Dreams Come True!
“I approached my Concierge to assist me in obtaining a Bruce Springsteen on Broadway ticket. Simply put, my Concierge was on top of his game. I told them where I wanted to it, and they asked me questions (dates, price range, seat preference) and presented me with several options on the same day. They also took the time to search for alternative sources for good measure. They included a seating chart and provided me with website links for y reference. My concierge is very pleasant, professional, knowledgeable and has excellent follow through. They helped make my dream come true and see Springsteen in an intimate setting. The show was amazing, a great experience. And the best seat!”

CUI Opens Doors
“A client wanted to treat their daughter to a special breakfast but they were tight on time, so they called their CUI Concierge. Their CUI Concierge was able to secure a Greenhouse at their preferred restaurant at their desired time which, happen to be before the restaurant was scheduled to open. The client couldn’t believe it, their CUI Concierge was able to open the restaurant’s door early just for them. CUI making the impossible possible.”

CUI Saves the Day!
“Traveling by way of Salt Lake City, Utah through Chicago’s infamous O’Hare Hilton & Airport, CUI coordinated the transportation of nine large shipments of medicine to Somaliland’s “Cheetah Conservation Fund,” which was shipped next day via Ethiopian Airlines, to medicate stricken, abused, and undernourished cheetah cubs rescued from the hands of smugglers. To learn more about CCF, visit www.cheetah.org.”

CUI – Thank goodness!
“I just wanted to say ‘THANK YOU!!’ for your assistance in getting our reservation. The (CUI) Al Fresco dining hot sheet you sent us gave us great options to choose from. Luckily, you were available to help us get the reservation when we couldn’t get in on our own. Since this was our first time eating out in months, it was the best Weber Grill burger this year.”

A Special Birthday thanks to CUI!
“OMG. It was so beautiful (at BOKA)! It was perfect! They were so kind and gave complimentary champagne when we first got there and a beautiful little pastry at the end that said ‘happy birthday’. We did the 5-course meal with the drink pairing. Everything was so good from start to finish!
Thank you so much for helping me make the birthday night a little extra special.”

“Just wanted to give a huge thank you to all of your help planning this surprise party this past weekend! My mother-in-law was very surprised and blown away by the party and all the details. The weather started off crummy but we did get to take the boat out and even saw some sunshine at the end! Everyone raved about the food and the caterer was so helpful. The delivery guy was incredibly nice and even went so far as to help me unload my entire car of supplies, drinks, etc. Thanks again.”

“…I wanted to let you know what a GIANT help [the CUI Concierge] was with planning out [the] holiday outing. Due to a reorg and a couple other things we started planning extremely late and we were locked in to just one day.
{The CUI Concierge] explored all our options, was quick to respond and don’t think we would have pulled the party off without his help. It has been a bit since we’ve had a concierge that is this responsive and helpful and it was very refreshing!

“Everything was absolutely amazing on Saturday night! What a stunning space you found us – I absolutely loved the decor! The food was excellent, we had one of everything for appetizers. In addition, we ordered the burrata, egg yolk ravioli and meatballs. Although the ravioli and meatballs were not on the menu, our server was happy to bring them to the table to share.
Our server was exceptional! I can’t tell you how warm, professional and key he was to our experience. Please send praises to the GM. Cocello is fortunate to have this server as an employee…he really helped make it a wonderful experience.
I look forward to working together on future events.”

“I am writing this note to thank your company for the outstanding service. I have used this company for years and it is beyond compare. If I could give them more than 10 stars I would. Last summer I took my daughter, son-in-law and 3 granddaughters to Europe. Everything and I do mean everything was planned to perfection. Hotels, tours, drivers, meals, nothing was left to chance. I have been blessed to have traveled many places, but because of Olga’s knowledge and caring attitude it was the BEST experience of my life. We got into a mess trying to get out of London to Paris with an air traffic controllers strike in Paris. A call after hours to Olga had us on the last train to Paris and being met with a van. What a relief for 6 tired travelers.
This organization is the best I have ever worked with. Their caring, knowledge and first class attitude is beyond the norm. My brother has used them for years too with perfect results.
I do feel inclined to say if you read a bad review it has to be from someone with a personal matter against them. I am taking time to write this review from my heart with thanks for planning a trip that I could not have done without them, and Olga. She is a member of the Golden Key and has contacts around the world…..and boy, did that pay off. It was PERFECT, again thanks Olga to you and your team!!! “

“I am writing with regard to Allison Weber. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate all her hard work and dedication. I am remiss in sending this, but my amazing experience with Allison took place in January. I was out of town and had the worst flu ever! I was expecting company to arrive at Tucson airport. I was supposed to pick them up and bring them back to our home in North Tucson. Needless to say, I was so sick, I couldn’t leave my bed. I also had no way to get a hold of my sister to tell her I wasn’t going to be able to come and get her. I managed to call Allison, explain my dire straits and she took it from there. She arranged for a driver to go to the airport with a placard to retrieve my sister and her husband. The driver delivered them to me in short order. I cannot tell you what a relief it was to know I could call Allison and KNOW with great confidence that she would handle everything. This is a service that is so very hard to find these days. She is a treasure! She is always positive, willing to assist and genuinely interested in her clients. I thought you should know how very valuable she is to me and the tenants of the building. Thank you!”

She did an outstanding job helping me plan and book a vacation to Disneyworld for my family within our parameters. She went above and beyond, researching Disneyworld and providing great options.

“I just wanted to take a quick opportunity to share with you what a great job our CUI concierge did in assisting with securing tickets to see a Broadway show over the New Year holiday. As a last minute trip, my husband and I decided to see Spiderman in New York city, but to our dismay, when attempting to purchase tickets on line, we were unable to find two tickets seated together in our area of choice. Before securing, I remembered reading in the Cultural Updates that we can put our, “CUI savvy savior to work”, so I thought I’d give it a try! Within minutes of sending an email, our concierge responded that she would be happy to assist! After providing her with the specifics, she was quickly able to provide me with several options, all of which were better than what I was able to obtain through my own searches on line. Ultimately, CUI assisted with securing two tickets seated together, first row balcony center – right in the middle of all the “Spidey” swinging action. We could not have asked for better seats, especially after booking within days of show date.
Being out of the office (Christmas shopping!) while trying to secure the tickets, our concierge was responsive, both via phone and email throughout the process and within 24 hours, the tickets had been securely delivered to my office. Furthermore, after such great service, it was of no surprise to get a follow up email from Julie after the New Year holiday, checking in to see if everything went well.
Based on the great customer service experience I received, I have no reservations reaching out to Concierge Unlimited again in the future!”
