Testimonials for MacKenzie Allen Fundraising Auctions

You were fabulous! You got us twice as much as we ever made before! My friend asked: ‘Where did you find that guy?!’

You did a great job! I’ve never seen anyone raise so much money in such a short period of time!

Thank you Mac (and Jesse) for your outstanding services at our annual May fundraising auction luncheon. The auction was lively and implementing some of your great ideas surely enhanced the outcome. Engaged bidders, lot’s of laughter and outstanding results are your calling card! We are looking forward to having you again next year.

MacKenzie Allen is a terrifically talented auctioneer who has the ability to make a fundraising audience feel enthusiastic about donating money. He makes the whole process feel fun rather than arduous, and I know that I can count on him to raise exponentially more money than we would without him.
Additionally, MacKenzie is a fantastic partner throughout the entire auction process and provides invaluable consulting services prior to the event. He is a terrific resource for me on anything auction-related, and I feel that my clients are in excellent hands for any advice they might need as well. I recommend MacKenzie without hesitation, and can't wait to work with him again!

MacKenzie and his lovely wife, Jesse, at a recent Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial Ball & Auction. They have been the auctioneers for the past several years. The event is generally attended by 600-800 people from the U.S. and Canada.

The skills of MacKenzie Allen are sheer genius! Watching him work a crowd is like watching an Olympic athlete compete for the gold! In all of my years of attending auctions, I can say that he truly is in a league of his own. I have seen many good auctioneers, I have seen a few great auctioneers, but none are “MacKenzie Good.” Hiring him would not only be the smartest thing you do for your event, you'll feel completely cheated at every other auction you attend where he is not the guy on the mic!

Thank you for the absolutely tremendous job you did for the Santa Fe Rotary Foundation Annual Auction on September 15th at the El Dorado Hotel in Santa Fe! With your expert help the Foundation was able to raise $50,000 with the art auction to fund local non-profits. We also thank you for taking over as Master of Ceremonies on such late notice! I received numerous compliments on your professionalism, courtesy and warm personality from our guests and board members alike.

MacKenzie Allen has been our auctioneer for the Officers’ Ball and Auction for the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation for the last several years. MacKenzie’s ability to exhort people to remember the purpose of their attendance and to encourage guests to have a good time proved wildly successful! Mac is quick and able to think on his feet.
Guests went home happy with their purchases and the WSLEMF reaped a record amount for the fund. We were thrilled with Mac’s ability to think outside the box to raise funds for our organization. MacKenzie Allen — auctioneer extraordinaire!

Thank you, Mac, for being part of the Picnic for Earth exhibition and auction that benefited The Nature Conservancy and the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market Institute. Due to your efforts, energy and enthusiasm, we raised 50% more than we anticipated—far exceeding our expectations! You were a huge hit that night and we look forward to working with you again.

MacKenzie Allen is brilliant! He guided and reassured us every step of the way. Prior to our fundraising event, he made himself available to answer questions and advise us, bolstering our confidence that we would be successful. And the night of our event, held at the Rainier Club in Seattle, he not only served as auctioneer but head entertainer—keeping our guests smiling, laughing and most importantly, giving generously to our organization. People commented that we took our event 10 notches higher—and much of that is thanks to MacKenzie Allen!

I’d like to thank you for your work as our auctioneer for the Ruby Dance fundraiser. You were brilliant, man! It was a revelation to watch you work with the room, assess the responses (or lack), come back at them from another angle and BAM, see the bids flow! With your help we dramatically exceeded our goal; a good event under normal circumstances but in light of the economic context, a fantastic result!

Thank you so much for your outstanding auctioneering services for the Tacoma Police Family Association. Our goal was exceeded by 3 times the amount we had anticipated and we owe that to you! Your enthusiasm drew in the crowd and you made our job of fundraising remarkably easy. We really could not have done it without you. We are looking forward to working with you soon and thanks again Mac!

MacKenzie Allen’s performance as an auctioneer at the Primo Grill Art Scholarship was a perfect fit for the event. His professional delivery of each auction item garnered higher values than anticipated. We look forward to working with him again. Enjoy!

The dashing and witty Mac Allen has helped our fundraising efforts for Tacoma Community College tremendously. His speech is inflected with a delightful patois and his auctioneering skills are incredibly sharp. He is the man to have if you wish to get the absolute most from your fundraising event.

Thank you for being our auctioneer ‘extraordinaire’ at our recent gala. As one of our trustees put it, you ‘hit the right note.’ You were definitely a perfect pitch for our sophisticated audience bidding on exciting cultural experiences. We thought you added wonderful flair, humor and gravitas to our fundraising efforts. And, we know we want to work with you again!
