Our committee was debating whether to do all of the planning and people finding on our own, but we were all reluctant to sign a contract with a hotel, front a deposit and have to devote hours to people finding. We also wanted something a bit more causual than the standard sit-down dinner and wanted to it all for a more affordable price. We worked with a reunion company for our 10 year, and had heard that other classes didn't have great experiences with that company, so sought out feedback for new reunion companies. \n\nWe found a few people, including Pete with Reunion Coordinator. We were instantly impressed with Pete and his professionalism, but had some concerns since it was a newer branch of his business and we weren't sure his company would really profit just on negotiated discounts he could tap into through a parent company. \n\nNeedless to say we ended up signing a contract with Reunion Coordinator. Pros included very personable staff, willing to coach us along the way, Cons, included having to people ourselves, through facebook, which ended up being a daunting task, but in the end managable. \n\nThe Venue was beautiful (Pointe Tapitio), but the ticket price (near $60 per person) was still a very high price-point for a few appetizers. \n\nThe name tag lanyards, DJ and photographer were professional and helped the event really feel like something special. It was so much fun looking through all of the photos that RC sent out to attendees (through the RC facebook page). The photos were down-loadable so many of us posted them to our facebook pages and were able to share our evening with others via the photos.\n\nOur committee also hosted a family picnic with about a 25-35 person turn out. It was nice to provide all classmates including those who coudln't afford Sat. night or who weren't into a party scene with a chance to come (with or without kids). The price was perfect at $6 per person to $15 per family. \n\nAll in all it was a great weekend, which I'm glad to now put past me (I haven't logged onto facebook since posting a few reunion posts -I don't want to see that site for another 10 years!). \n\nI highly recommend RC, particularly since they are working on bringing down the Saturday night price-points.
