Destination Thunder Bay provides exceptional hospitality services to the performers at City of Thunder Bay produced events. They are a pleasure to work with, as they go a step beyond what they are requested to do, this makes them a key part to the success of Live on the Waterfront.

 

– Ash Young, Live on the Waterfront

The team at Destination Thunder Bay was amazing!

 

We were looking for something fun & exciting that we hadn’t done before. They came up with a sailing adventure that was perfect! We just showed up which was the best part for me, because I’m usually the one working out the details. Melissa took care of the food & drinks with extra care to specific sensitivities & allergies. We took advantage of the sound system on the boat & had a blast!

 

Our experience with them was so great that they’re in the process of planning a sleigh ride this winter for our staff & families. Looking forward to future staff team building experiences that they have in mind for us!
