Steve made our party a huge success! Campion Homes' 30th anniversary party was a brilliant evening thanks to Steve McKenna and his team's
efforts to help plan and organise the entertainment. Steve managed the evening through his ability to command the audience's attention. Thanks, Steve. We highly recommend your services to anyone planning an event.
Christine Stevenson - Champion Holmes
We've just finished another full weekend Annual Conference at Fairmont St Andrews with our 200+ delegates in Steve's safe hands as daytime and evening host. In the lead-up to the event this year, we also leaned heavily on his industry knowledge to help us bring our audience something a little different with a new look exhibition and sponsor area. He supported us with loads of fresh ideas and a frankly impressive amount of contacts! Steve will tell you he's a "gob on a stick", but he's the friendliest, funniest, most professional gob on a stick we know. Don't hesitate if you're thinking of working with him; you'll be glad you did.

Steve and his team had a massive challenge on their hands trying to take all of my ideas that were in my head and make them a reality, and my goodness, did they deliver!! From the very first meeting I had with Steve, I knew then that we were going to hit it off. Steve and his team delivered everything and more when it came to making my corporate event of over 500 attendees a stand out event. From the planning, to the excellent communication to the final execution - I couldn't have asked for anything more. With so many moving parts and the strings Steve had a pull to make this event one to remember, McKenna Live Events will not let you down.
Lynda Collins - Diageo
We were at an exhibition displaying one of our quality kitchens and wanted some AV equipment to showcase images of the many other kitchens we have fitted previously. Due to the nature of the display, there were some challenges, so we needed to have a screen about 7 ft high but in a very tight footprint.
Steve (the company director) took our brief and delivered exactly what we needed. As we were working around a very tight schedule for a home-building exhibition, it was really useful that Steve turned up exactly when he said he would and with 2 options for the space we had available. 10 out of 10 for service price and quality of product.
