Jerry was a wonderful auctioneer for our school fundraising. We could not have done it without him. He was both patient and helpful in answering all of our questions as virtual gala first timers since the beginning. He walked us through the whole process and did a MAGNIFICENT job!! We can't thank Jerry enough for helping our school raise as much as we did. We truly appreciate everything that he has done!! Everyone said it was fun!

We hired Jerry this year for our first live auction and he was awesome! Jerry met with us for pre-event calls that helped us better organize our evening. He has a ton of knowledge and experience that was extremely helpful in making our event more fun and ultimately more successful. His ideas and performance in our live auction and our fund-a-need helped us raise significantly more funds. We look forward to working with him for years to come.

Jerry Goldstone was an absolute pleasure. He is professional, knowledgable, passionate, experienced and engaging. He asks all the right questions and has very useful suggestions and techniques. He is a one man show and reasonably priced -- great for a charity with competent volunteers to assist in spotting and tracking auctions and fund a needs.

Jerry was amazing!
Our overall fundraising goal was $100,000. With Jerry's help we raised $50,000 more than we expected, and doubled our net income from the previous year! Most impressively, with Jerry's help and expertise, we raised $43,000 in Fund-A-Need donations! Our Fund-A-Need goal was $5,000, double what we made last year, and we spectacularly exceeded that goal. Jerry did a great job with our Live Auction, as well. He increased fundraising by 38%! He was personable and talented with the reading the crowd.
I definitely recommend Jerry Goldstone!

We hired Jerry to help us revamp and liven up our auction at our annual fundraiser. He did an amazing job. He met with us and helped us work through a strategy for the best way to go about our live and silent auction, we had several phone meetings before the event and at the event he took the time to make sure all our staff and volunteers knew the program. I really believe he helped us to raise all the money we could at the event!

Jerry was very professional and easy to work with. When I met with him prior to our event, he was well prepared, asked great questions and was very thorough. We had 350 attendees at our seated dinner fundraiser and he was able to reign in the crowd for our Live Auction. I highly recommend Jerry!

We were a little nervous getting an auctioneer from a place we found on the internet (Gigmasters), but we could not have been more delighted with Jerry from beginning to end. Jerry is articulate, professional, prompt, and the time he took to research and do background work on our organization and for our event was impressive. His prices were realistic too - we are a relatively small nonprofit, and when some of the others from Gigmasters responded back to us with $1500 or $2000 prices, they were immediately removed from consideration. We would use Jerry again without hesitation, and we would be happy to provide a stellar reference for him. Thank you Jerry!

Jerry was an amazing auctioneer for our event. He gave great suggestions but never overstepped. We thoroughly enjoyed his personality and his dedication to raising money for our cause. He was great at communicating before and during our event and I had full faith in him hosting it.

Jerry was a sincere and friendly auctioneer. Always willing to assist me with any request and very helpful by providing options. Arrived on time and was friendly with all guests vs hiding in a corner. Thanks Jerry and would highly recommend him to anyone.
