Joe and his company (Cedar Grove Travel d.b.a. Summit Management Services) stepped in a critical time for me and my organization to provide outsourced meeting logistical services to a very important “new” book of business. Joe and his team were able to provide top tier service domestically and abroad allowing my client to focus on their business with minimal distractions. I highly recommend Joe and his team.
