Derby Experiences Customer Testimonials
"A big thank you for a great, great time this past weekend! Only thing that wasn’t perfect was the DQ of my pick! Thanks again, and I will for sure recommend you to other horse fans." -T.O.
"Your organization didn't leave anything out about what we should see, wear, etc. All your information was greatly appreciated. It was a great four days. We had a wild and crazy time at the Derby. What a fun experience. The food at the Affirmed Lounge was amazing! Steve, who rarely takes pictures with his phone except of our grandchildren playing sports, was taking pictures of crazy suits and hats and sharing them with our friends! He was really into it. The hotel was great, the museums were great, the transportation to and from the airport and to and from Churchill Downs was great." -M.P.
"You guys gave us a sensational experience. Coming from Aussie to watch and feel the Derby the way we did with you guys... Mandy and I can't thank you enough. We certainly appreciated everything that was done for us. The survey asked if there was anything that could be improved. For us, no. You and your staff did everything above and beyond to make our Derby very special. Once again, thanks, and we will be seeing you guys next year." -W.R.
How was Taste of the Derby?
“It was like 'Oscar' night. I was totally surprised. I thought it was going to be like any other party with a buffet and a bunch of people. It was just the opposite, and I was thrilled. I had so much fun. The music, food, and ambiance were terrific. And we even got to have our picture taken.” -J.J.
“Great venue. Got to experience celebrity chefs and their wonderful hors d'oeuvres. It was the best event I have been to in some time.” -A.W.
