Testimonials
See what our clients and partners are saying about us!
"The exposure we gain from the Great Beer expo has historically been fantastic for us. We are a small operation and I am the entire sales team myself, so any opportunity to meet prospective accounts is invaluable to me. This year alone, I was able to open one new account immediately following the fest, as well as gain three more interested accounts which will be coming through in the coming days. To pair that with the exposure to the fans, the opportunity to highlight what sets us apart from other breweries, as well as getting some great press, this event continues to pay off dividends for us being a small business."

“The team at Starfish Junction is amazing to work with. They have been supporting Cup For Education for over 10 years now and always go above and beyond to make sure we have everything we need to put on a successful fundraiser at the festivals. Their attention to details make the Coffee and Tea Festival a great experience for exhibitor and attendee alike.”
Karen Gordon
President and Founder, Cup for Education
“Starfish Junction, their people and their events, are in a class by themselves. It is so clear that they genuinely want everyone involved to thrive. This is evident from the long-term relationships Starfish has with their vendors. From the event planning point of view, they are masters, from day-of logistics to venue setup to event promotion. I cannot say enough about these people. I am glad to call them friends and business associates.”

“Since becoming the first Executive Director of the New York State Brewers Association, it was important for us to create quality beer festivals around the state as fundraisers for our association. Starfish Junction Productions has been a partner to the NYSBA for many years, and it made complete sense to continue working with them, as they have always provided us tremendous help, not only with our events, but as a support system for many other needed services for our association.”
Paul Leone
Executive Director, New York State Brewers Associatio
“As a vendor who discovered Starfish Junction just 3+ years ago, we did not realize that there really is an organization that puts the vendor first. Moving in and out of shows is a great deal of work but Starfish Junction personnel make it a pleasant, easy task. They are there to handle every need in order to ensure success at each and every show. This is all done with smiles, professionalism and steadfast organization. Our company has been successful at every show we have done with Starfish Junction which is why we now do 90% of shows with them only. If you want to succeed at shows, go with the tried and true "best of the best" -- Starfish Junction!!”

“For many years I have had the opportunity to work with the gang at Starfish Junction Productions. You won't find a more experienced show producer in the Northeast, they are true professionals in every sense of the word – it is certainly a pleasure being able to do business with them!”

“The Tea House Times has been a proud media sponsor of Starfish Junction's Coffee and Tea Festival since inception. Aside from our media partnership, our experiences with exhibiting and also speaking and presenting at CTF New York and Philly have always been positive. This show continually yields a great return on investment for us and others. And their team is not only a pleasure to work with, but they make the load-in and load-out procedure completely stress free. Highly recommended.”
