I have been in the event industry since 1984, the last 2 years with Ampa Events. It has been a rewarding experience to work for a company that was built from scratch 20 years ago and whose focus is always on getting the job done with the perfection and professionalism that sets the company a part. ...
Great service, delivery, set up and the return pick up for our events. Always punctual and great to work with.
Efficiency and partnership is only part of the notable experience when working with Ampa Events!
Three cheers to Ampa Events. We were last minute request to Ampa Events. No one would have guessed that from how well the evening turned out. They took my vision and made it come alive in a way I never would have imagined. The accolades I heard from our attendees and sponsors are still buzzing in...
As an Event & Wedding Planner, it's always great to be connected to wonderful service providers. I highly recommend Ampa Events. They have fantastic customer service. Their inventory is impressive and will surely bring any theme to life.
We recently hosted an event in Richmond to honor our chief executive officer s 20th anniversary. Our theme was A Starry Night, and Ampa Events provided us the lighting equipment necessary to create the effect of stars broadcast throughout the room for the occasion. The lighting was stunning, and w...
Disorganized and slow for a quote.
The initial quote was a competitive price, but the poor follow up communication means I won't trust them with my event.
I contacted them for a quote and got a reply in a few days from Ted Rubis, all fine. 10 days later I replied and asked some follow up ques...
AMPA Events does a superb job of interpreting our needs, and works to meet deadlines. Their staff is very professional, on time, and always does a great job!
AMPA has supplied services for our annual Literary Awards for several years. We have always found their staff helpful and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any special event needs.
I manage a military veteran hiring program at Hilton Worldwide and used AMPA to help us host a celebration event at our Global Headquarters in McLean, VA. I had multiple prep calls with Kammy, shared my ideas and pictures of what we wanted. She was so easy to work with and was very understand of m...
AMPA is absolutely amazing. I worked with Ted to throw the American University Washington College of Law's annual Barrister's Ball. AMPA did all of our lighting and sound and the Andrew Mellon Auditorium. I gave Ted a theme to work with and the lighting was stunning. AMPA was extremely professional ...
We have used Ampa Events for many years for our graduation at Benedictine College Preparatory. They are professional, courteous, prompt, and setup & cleanup happened as scheduled with no issues. They even show up on the day of the event to make sure everything is ready to go! Happy to recommend t...
Ampa did a great job for our event! Their staff was prompt, nice, and knowledgeable. It made my job so much easier to have them handle the set up and break down of the stuff they brought. I would use them over and over!
A big thanks to you for your help in making the event at the Former Residence of the Spanish Ambassadors very special. The Glowing Truss, Farm Tables, LED s in the Courtyard and Rope lights outside looked great! The embassy staff were impressed that with a few strategically placed light fixtures, ...
I could not say enough good things about Ampa! From the planning stages, to the event, to tear-down, the staff was friendly and helpful, which helped ease SO much stress, and they did an absolutely BEAUTIFUL job!!! We received so many compliments!
We recently used AMPA events for our local Italian Festival and couldn't have been more impressed. The service was seamless, polite, efficient and knowledgeable. We worked with Chase on some last minute international items that were a huge hit at the festival. Enjoyed the service he provided and pla...
The best professionals for planning a successful event. These guys are great to work with!
Ted and his team are top notch! I've used them for years for a variety of event needs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
Ampa has done an amazing job year after year with the Children s Hospital Ball in Richmond. They always find a way to top the decorations each year. They always figure out a way to make your dreams come alive!
I have had the good fortune to work with AMPA on a variety of events, from elegant charity galas to professional convention-style events. For each, AMPA employees went above and beyond, were incredible problem-solvers for complex issues, and truly could have hung the moon. Couldn't recommend them mo...
AMPA recently provided lighting and decor for a fundraiser/cocktail party at a private residence for Massey Cancer. I can't say enough good things about Ted and the team. Our expectations were far exceeded, but even more importantly, AMPA was wonderful to work with. Each touch point with AMPA was...
Ampa was prompt, set up exactly how we wanted it, and cleaned up in a timely manner as well. They were super professional and met all of our needs.
Ampa Events offers exceptionally professional, detailed, reasonably priced, and more than accommodating services. They provided decor and life-size props for the 2018 Howard University Graduate Student Assembly Awards Gala which had an Egyptian theme. They were very patient while we were in our plan...
This company is shady. The management is strangely intimating, rude and misogynistic.
Ampa Events has shown itself to be the ideal supporter for us in the party and events business. We know we can count on their extensive inventory of special and unique furniture for every sort of affair. Especially valuable is their experience, knowledgeable field staff, and the easy access we hav...
AMPA events put on an excellent James Bond themed gala and delivered on everything. The staff was great to work with and decorations were right on the money. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Thank you again for such a FANTASTIC time at our drive-in movie!! Everything was absolutely perfect! I hope to do another one of these for the holidays and will be calling you all again.
Ted Rubis and his AMPA team made this year's Richmond Children's Hospital Ball fabulous. From their vast amount of inventory to the extremely helpful and dedicated staff...we could have not asked for a better partner to help create and execute the event. We look forward to working with them for ma...
AMPA helped us put on a high school Prom for 800 students last weekend. From the time we decided on a theme until after the decorations were removed, the staff was dedicated to making our event the best! We'll be using them for many Homecoming dances and Proms to come!
A Big Thanks to Ted and the Ampa Team for a great event. The details of the Carnival Theme decor with black and white stripes tents and side show banners created a fun and family friendly environment for our Family Night. Everyone played the arcade games and enjoyed each others company.
I highly recommend Ampa Events. I have used their services for two strategic, premier events that needed a professional polish. Ampa went above and beyond for both events. I did not have to worry about any detail with which they were involved. I already have plans to use this incredible company agai...
I love working with Ampa - as a large event planner, you're relying on your vendors to come through. Ampa ALWAYS comes through with the best decorations. This year, I got at least 30 compliments on how great the event looked.
I have had the pleasure of working with AMPA for many years in support of the Children's Hospital Ball. They have been incredibly collaborative and their growing inventory of resources has helped to continue to make this event spectacular. We sincerely appreciate their amazing support and creativity...
