Client Testimonials
Summer Picnics
A special thanks to the Windy City Fieldhouse staff. The team was very energetic and
engaging, keeping everyone involved as much as the individuals chose to be so. From the
moment we arrived, smiling faces greeted us at the gate. The emcee was amazing with
participants of all ages. Many attendees enjoyed simply walking over to see what was going on
when they heard the music and directions over the speaker. He nicely tried to bring the
families together for activities, kept the momentum going adding fun and excitement, and was
engaging/motivating. Many asked how he kept going! The food was great and we were lucky
with comfortable weather. The buzz continued in the office on Monday which was definitely
indicative of a successful event and a tribute to the organizers. Thanks for offering a
great, well-planned and delivered, summer event."

"I want to thank you and your fantastic staff for all your help in making our Thronton Tomasetti
company party a huge success! Scott, the onsite staff member was so helpful in making sure
everything went smoothly. He answered all of my questions without hesitation and was very
friendly. Your other staff that was there to facilitate the games were so friendly and
helpful as well, and this will easily go down in our books as the most successful summer party to
date! Thank you so much for all your hard work. I will highly recommend you to everyone
I know!"
Thornton Tomasetti on their Daytime Summer Picnic
"Last year was the first time we tried an evening picnic, and I have to say it turned out better
than imagined! You're not in the heat of high noon, it's the perfect time! Our
employees loved it so much they insisted we do it again this summer, even though we usually don't
do the same thing 2 years in a row! Once again, it was great! And the employees at WCF
are so enthusiastic and helpful too! An evening picnic is a great idea! We loved it!"
Thornton Tomasetti on their Evening Summer Picnic
“Thanks for a great picnic! The company consensus is that it was “awesome”! There
was something for everyone. It was a first class company summer picnic. The company “
heads” enjoyed themselves as there were no decisions to make during the event except which food to
eat and how many times they wanted to do the Velcro wall. We let you guys do all the work and
it allowed all employees to truly relax and have fun. You came thru on all your
promises. Without a doubt, this company picnic was the perfect way to spend a summer day
downtown with co-workers and family.”
Infinium Capital Management
“Everyone that attended had a wonderful time. They thought that everything was coordinated
well and came off great. My boss was particularly pleased at how you guys continually got
everyone involved in activities, which made the day much more enjoyable. It should also be
noted that the food was EXCELLENT! I really enjoyed working with you and your staff should be
commended on their continued professionalism and upbeat attitudes. Thank you so much for a
wonderful first time experience, and I can guarantee you that it will not be our last.”
LaSalle Bank N.A.
"Everyone had an amazing time. The event was awesome I am so glad that we decided to have
it outside inspite of the weather. Your team did a great job, the food was great, we had a
blast playing softball/volleyball, and it was a really good event. We definitely want to do
something like this on an annual basis. Special thanks to you for getting all this set
up. We received the digital pictures and it reminded us of how much we enjoyed
ourselves. We look forward to doing business with you soon."

it sure did. You guys rock! I hope we can work together next summer. Make no
mistake, I will be telling my other friends/business acquaintances about you all!

employees...and especially for me! It was the first year I was actually able to enjoy the picnic,
and now that I have had a taste of it, I can assure you it won't be the last. Rest assured that
we'll be contacting Windy City next year to handle our 2009 Picnic."

“We've gotten great feedback! I've heard good reports from the Interns up to the
CFO. Our entire leadership team was involved in the late softball game and really enjoyed
themselves! It really was a great event. Your staff was very helpful and
cheerful. I had a great time because we didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. That's
truly the sign of a good party for me. Thanks for worrying for us!”

“This year’s corporate picnic was by far our best event of the year. Not only did our
employees have chance to relax and have fun together, but our families were able to mingle as
well. The event was extremely easy to plan and gave our employees a chance to become a closer
team outside of the work environment.”

everyone had a wonderful time!”

"What can I say but "Wow!" You put on such an amazing event for the Ounce. The praises
continue to roll in. We are so grateful for your careful planning and perfect execution of
our corporate barbecue. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I witnessed WCF staff
busy at work. You seemed to know exactly what needed to be done. You made certain our
needs were met, and you were right there to offer assistance with whatever task was at hand.
You are PROS at what you do, and we take our hats off to you! You truly took care of us and
our families. The children were engaged every second. Parents had fun, but were
completely relaxed at the same time. And staff members who didn't bring children or spouses
also had a ball!"
Ounce of Prevention Fund
