“Claire is a dynamic producer who can do just about anything! I've had the pleasure of working with her for years in many different facets ranging from agency partners to pitching huge programs. Claire can multitask like no one's business and is grace under fire, all qualities that a top-level event pro should have. Claire is extremely organized and can make a complicated task look easy with her instincts and years of experience. She's someone you can call when you're in a pinch, need a creative workaround and the best part is that she's an absolute pleasure to spend time with. I am always excited at my next opportunity to partner with Claire on any project that she touches. Claire would be an asset to any event team or task!”

- Gary Guerin, CEO StemSWAG

“I have had the pleasure of working alongside Claire Friday on numerous large scale special events where she was associate producer and production stage manager. I highly recommend Claire and her company Done by Friday in the highest possible terms.  She is detail oriented, highly intelligent and her vast and deep experience along with her ability to be part of a team and a team leader makes Claire invaluable.  I wouldn’t do anything without first calling Claire.”  

- Amick Byram, CEO Found Entertainment

“I was so taken with Claire the first time I met her. She was so present and openhearted. That is rare in this business. Claire was stage managing an event I was participating in and we hit it off immediately promising to get together . Intelligent, capable, energetic, and discerning, she is exactly the kind of woman I love to have coffee with and bounce around ideas. She has experience in so many different areas of show business and a real passion for talented artists. I love that we have developed such a supportive friendship.”

- Debby Boone, Grammy Award Winning Singer, Author, Actress

“I am hardly a public speaker, so when I was asked to speak at CES2019 I was apprehensive. When I arrived for the rehearsal the evening before I met the production team. I have worked with production teams in this type of scenario before, but this time something was different. What struck me was how calm and together everything was. A standout was Claire Friday. There was an unspoken feeling of maturity and command of the event. It was clear to me that on Claire’s part, there was a committed preparation for the event, which gave me an easy feeling and more confidence for my performance. During the rehearsal, changes were made to my segment, and Claire was unfazed. The day of, it was clear I was nervous, but Claire, in her own way, allowed me to find my own strength through conversation, patience, a zen-like presence, and a coach’s guidance. Only now, after watching the video of my presentation, I can clearly understand what happened those days on the floor at CES. I could not have risen to the occasion without having Claire Friday in my corner. I highly recommend Claire Friday for any situation because it’s hard for me to imagine she would give any less than 100% of herself to what she is doing.”

- Mark Wilder, Sr. Mastering Engineer at Sony Music Entertainment

“Claire is an extremely focused and driven individual. She never allows anyone or anything to stop her from doing what she loves. And people like her! Who wouldn't want to be connected to someone who is energetic, passionate about life, and focused? She has carved her own career path and is successful at anything she puts her mind to.”

- Tom Rizzo, Musician and CEO of Plectrum Advisers

“I brought Claire in as an event production partner when planning a large-scale installation and celebration for my firm. At the time my firm, Payette, had received the most prestigious and highest honor in the industry, the AIA Architecture Firm Award. We needed to produce an immersive event to celebrate the firm and showcase its work, in under five months, from nearly 3,000 miles away. Claire was the perfect partner to help us do this. Her attention to detail, thoughtful questions about our intent, and commitment to our schedule and budget was essential to producing a successful event. Her expertise, network, and creative ideas allowed our in-house team to focus elsewhere, while knowing Claire had the on-site details handled. During the planning and production process Claire became a seamless extension of our team, truly understanding our vision. We brought in well over 300 guests for an experience that our CEO later described as part exhibition, theater, art gallery, cocktail party, back alley jazz club and helped shape future perception of the firm.”

- Karen Robichaud, Communications Director, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson

“As an event planner, it’s rare to find someone with such knowledge, grace under pressure and innovative ideas who is also easy to work with. Claire Friday is a consummate professional and part of the success of any show our firm produces. She has decades of experience in show production and the intricate details and logistics necessary for a successful event no matter the size or scope. She is calm when it matters, detail-oriented and the audio visual crew respects her which means a positive outcome for everyone. I enthusiastically recommend Claire for any production or show!”
