Marquam has served us well over the past two years for our annual Taste for Justice live auction and gala! Christine was easy to work with, engaged our guests and followed through on every detail with professionalism. 2019 was one of our most successful events and in 2020 they helped us pivot to a virtual event that exceeded our expectations. We will most definitely be looking to work with Christine and her team in 2021!

Marquam Auction Agency knows how to put together a successful fundraiser! They guided us through the transition from live event to virtual event, including a livestream through YouTube. We were anxious how our community would respond to a virtual event, but we were pleasantly surprised by how well our event turned out. Their step-by-step assistance helped ease our minds about all the new things we had to do, and our event was a hit! Thank you MAA!

Marquam has worked with us at Silverton Area Community Aid for several years and we are so grateful for their assistance in growing our fundraising event each year. This year was special as we went virtual. Marquam Auction Agency has great webinars which started us off with great information. They have organizational documents that guided us through the planning and presentation. Their crew for the livestream from their studio was professional and efficient and Misty, as always, led us to have fun during the event. Their positive and knowledgable guidance brought us to our best results yet, despite not having the face to face contact that we value.

I have absolutely loved working with this incredible group of passionate and professional go-getters. They tackle every challenge with zest and humor - so important when you are dealing with the stress of conducting a major fundraising event. They give a fun flair while also having incredible technical and practical knowledge about the process of raising money and support for their clients. And they have adapted with finesse to make their events virtual and safe. Truly a wonderful group to have on your side to make the most of your fundraising event!

Marquam Auction Agency undertook a daunting task at our request — putting on a virtual gala in less than 30 days — and made it an incredible wonderful success. They were responsive, caring, helpful and knowledgeable. Every question was answered promptly and fully. They assisted and suggested but did not push. They encouraged and directed but werent overbearing. Christine was delightful before and during the event and Misty popped in from time to time as well. The whole team made it a triumph! I can hardly wait to plan our next virtual gala with Marquam (and yes we will give them more time!)

We LOVED working with MAA! Christine brings an unmatched level of energy and expertise to the work. She walked us through every step of hosting our first ever virtual fundraiser, provided helpful templates, invaluable feedback and insights, and shared industry best practice and trends. Our event was a huge success and we are so grateful for Christine and the whole team at Marquam!

Once again, Ronald McDonald House Charities had the opportunity to work with Misty and her team at Marquam Auction Agency for our largest fundraising event EVER - Hope Lives Here! Like many non-profit organizations this year, we had to re-imagine our in person events and turn them into a virtual event. I can honestly say there isnt ONE SINGLE PERSON I would rather have had by our side during that journey than Misty Marquam! Her knowledge, data driven information, her personality and most of all, her CALM, was exactly what we needed to re-imagine all our statewide events into one virtual event! Regardless of your budget for your event- find a way to bring in Misty and her team!

When we determined our in-person gala needed to switch to a virtual online format, Marquam Auction Agency delivered! We had less than four weeks to create content and get up to speed on the new format, and their guidance every step of the way helped ensure our success. From positivity to flexibility, from professionalism to friendly encouraging cheerleading, MAAs team went beyond the beyond in getting us across the finish line and conducting our first online auction and gala. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

We love working with Marquam Auction Agency! They are on top of it, fun, professional, and optimistic. Give them a call!

Working with Christine and her team at Marquam for WaterWatch of Oregons 18th Annual Celebration of Oregon Rivers was fantastic. The professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail was unparalleled. I would highly recommend Marquam for nonprofits in the Portland area that are looking to take their annual fundraiser to the next level. Hats off!

Misty is always a pleasure to work with throughout the year. She offers wonderful strategic guidance leading up to the event and delivers a phenomenal experience for attendees. Our guests have raved about her and her team, highlighting her energy, enthusiasm and clear passion for our organizations mission. Thank you Misty and the entire Marquam team for your amazing partnership!

I would recommend Misty and Marquam to anyone in a heart beat! She is the greatest decision our organization made and we will continue to come back year after year! Our fundraising has increased over 30% in the two years since we began using Mistys services.

We LOVE working with Misty and her team at Marquam Auction Agency. Misty is passionate about the mission of her clients and offers additional services to assist charity organizations make their fundraiser a success. REACH is proud to partner with Marquam Auction Agency, the first and only fundraising auction agency in the nation comprised of minorities with emphasis on serving minority and underrepresented groups. A great team of professionals and enthusiastic fundraisers!

Dress for Success Oregon has worked with Marquam Auction Agency for four years for our annual spring gala and we love Misty and her team. This year, Misty worked tirelessly to help us transition our normally physical gala into a virtual gala due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Her guidance helped us take on this overwhelming and unchartered path with confidence, and we met our fundraising goal! We highly recommend Marquam Auction Agency as their pre-event consultation is second to none, and Mistys energy and expertise during the event itself is beloved by our guests and donors. We cant wait to work with Misty again for future events!

Marquam Auction Agency, and Dan Newman, were an absolutely invaluable asset to us as we staged our first-ever gala event. Dan was our auctioneer and provided just the joy, energy, empathy, and encouragement we needed to give everyone a great time and get people to give generously. Misty and Dan were both outstanding advisors throughout the entire process. We loved working with this agency and will readily so go again. I give them my highest recommendation.

Michael Faith is simply the best in the business. He came highly recommended, and from our first meeting, it was easy to see why. He did his homework on our organization, led us through the process of taking our fundraiser to the next level, and provided very helpful guidance in so many areas. We will be using Michael and Marquam Auction Agency again without hesitation.

Marquam Auction Agency are true professionals in the business with an incredible team of rockstar women. The amount of support and expertise that they provide throughout the entire process of ensuring a successful event was something that I honestly did not expect in just my first meeting with them. They go above and beyond at Marquam and they are at the top of my list when it comes to auction services. If your organization works for, or with, communities of color - and you care about diversity, equity, and inclusion - this is the organization that you want running the event alongside you.

Marquam was an incredible agency to work with and we highly recommend them! We had a last minute request and their level of responsiveness was just phenomenal. Not only did they help us add a paddle raise to our first-time gala with less than two weeks lead time, they also helped us raise more than twice the amount of money we had anticipated. Michael Faith was a superb auctioneer who connected immediately with our audience and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He and Misty both bring an enormous amount of knowledge, insight, and enthusiasm to their work and they made our experience very positive--which under almost any other circumstances would have been extremely stressful. We cant recommend them highly enough.

Great auction company to work with! Knowledge of all the best practices. Attentive and flexible staff. Great communication pre, post and during the event. Highly recommend and will use again!

I worked with Michael for the Sabin School Auction. We hired him for additional consulting time on top of being the auctioneer for the night of. I cant recommend Michael and this agency enough. I had no experience planning an auction (to be honest hadnt even attended it!) and would not have made it without Michaels expert support and guidance the whole way through. He worked and planned with our team to build the best night possible and supported us with lots of tools, ideas and resources. The night of, he was outstanding! He completely engaged with the crowd, nailed it in the live auction and helped to created a very successful event. I know that our event greatly benefited from working with Michael and Marquam Auction Agency. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Misty and company were a crucial part of our events success and an absolute delight to work with. They are professional, provided clear directions and important information that kept us well on track. Their pre-event guidance and expertise was invaluable and gave us confidence going into the event, at the event they were efficient, targeted and had a great command of the room, and provided follow up advice. I would highly recommend them.

Misty deserves ten stars. Not only does she do a FANTASTIC job of getting people excited to give, shes chock full of great event fundraising knowledge and advice. Our non-profit organization relies on her for our biggest fundraisers. I am a bit of allergic to direct asks (pretty ironic for a fundraiser, I know), but not only does Misty make asking painless, the whole thing is actually FUN. You wont regret booking Marquam Auction Agency to help you meet your fundraising goals for your event!

The Marquam auction agency has been key in our effort to resurrect our school auction. The pre-event guidance is priceless in setting us up for success. Their day of support and auctioneer services are beyond compare. All of their auctioneers do a great job engaging the audience and become an instant member of the community. I cant say enough good things about this fabulous business and group of people!!

This was our first time using a professional auctioneer for our school auction. All I can say is WOW! Michael and his team exceeded all expectations. Michael was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, patient and made myself and our team feel comfortable and confident going into our event. He knew how to work with our crowd and delivered a healthy amount of money for our auction. We are SOLD! on using this agency for all our future events!

Professional, positive, polished - having Marquam at your event will make your evening and your earnings STAND OUT! I was so impressed by the energy and momentum of the entire team - they contributed to increased donations and an exciting competitive auction which ultimately helped our non-profit raise funds for the operating year.

Misty is smart, energetic and sincere. Our staff and guests loved her and she commanded a great presence on the stage. She was a perfect auctioneer for our event and I look forward to working with her in years to come!

Marquam Auction Agency is not only professional and great at what they do, they go above and beyond during preparation for a successful (and fun!) event. They completely exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.

Working with the team at Marquam Auction Agency has been an absolute pleasure! Misty is an amazing auctioneer and inspires greatness in everything her team does. MAA is a team full of rock stars and I cant wait to work on our next project together!

Michael brought a needed new engery to our 20th anuual auction. His charisma and whit helped made for a fun evening and helped us raise more money than we ever have. Thanks Michael!

Misty and her team are complete professionals. Our event was more successful and more fun for our guests because they were there. I cant recommend MAA enough.

Simply the best!!! Professionalism at its finest, fun beyond measure and above all else....unsurpassed results. Misty and the Marquam Auction Agency team shine!!

We had the pleasure of working with Michael Faith for the BodyVox auction: a pleasure all around, and financially successful -- a great combination for any organizations bottom line and community building.

The whole team builds camaraderie with the audience and fills the room with great energy. Its an A-1 event every time.

Had a great experience working with Misty and her team!

The team at Marquam Auction Agency are the real deal! Hardworking, professional, reliable and FUN! I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Misty and her team were awesome and lead us to one of the best special appeals ever!

Misty was a top-notch auctioneer, and was stellar at helping us craft the fundraising strategy for our whole event. We would not have met our goal without her!

Misty is a key component to our fundraising success at our event.

Professional, experienced, caring, and passionate about ensuring your event is a success!
