Daralin Dotts of James Event Production sold 20 holiday parties in the month of December and all of them happened in 23 days. Given the holidays, that was about 1 per day and even 4 in one day. These very successful events ran the gamut in terms of venues including a warehouse, private homes, car museum and a factory. Some of these events were very large with up to 700 attendees. Her work was so impressive that Daralin picked up some new clients as well.
