Vendor Spotlight: Pinpoint National Photography

October 20 | wttc vendor spotlight | staff

Michael Marmur, President of Pinpoint National Photography, frequently receives last-minute calls from event planners organizing corporate holiday parties. “They have so many details to take care of that photography is sometimes the last box they tick off,” he explains.

Pinpoint can always accommodate these rush needs. The company, based in Toronto, also operates in every major city and most smaller communities across Canada, using a network of local, established photographers who are on call. With this wide reach, Pinpoint can quickly supply multiple photographers for one large event, or cover different company offices simultaneously. And clients don’t have to worry about travel costs since photographers live in the cities where they work.

Pinpoint guarantees a quote within four hours of your call or email, with one account manager coordinating all details and ensuring the right photographer is chosen for your assignment. “We try to make the whole process as easy as we can,” Michael says. “We do all the heavy lifting from start to finish.”

The heavy lifting always includes a detailed confirmation sheet and digital post-production (colour correction and light balancing) so there are no surprise add-ons at invoice time. Among its many other services Pinpoint can also print images at the event site, upload photos to a custom website or create a DVD of the event. Caroline Aston, Principal Planner at Aston Events & Communications in Toronto, frequently calls on Pinpoint. “Michael and his team of professional photographers provide outstanding service, take care of all photography concerns and make event guests and delegates feel at ease,” she says. “They produce great results every time.”

Need an idea to make a client’s holiday party stand out? Pinpoint can set up a photo “booth” where guests, individually or in groups, can have their portrait taken, printed and framed on site. They can take a professional photo home the same night as a memento. For more information, or to request a quote, contact Michael at 416-221-3773 or 1-877-245-3859 or by email at info@pinpointnationalphotography.com.

January 19 | wttc vendor spotlight | staff

Now is the perfect time to start planning for your spring events. So why not consider a venue that floats above all others in terms of uniqueness, convenience and sheer fun?

WTTC Toronto has the ideal suggestion for you — a “meeting at sea” aboard one or more of the six unique ships that make-up the fleet at Mariposa Cruises, Toronto’s leading hospitality cruise line.

For the past three decades, Mariposa Cruises has been offering a range of tours around Toronto’s inner harbor and islands from its select fleet. Vessels range in size and style from large ships to compact yachts and include replica steamships and paddle boats. All are versatile and flexible enough to suit any program — whether a mid-size corporate event, conference, product launch, sales meeting, seminar or workshop.

All ships have fully licensed bars, chefs, wait staff, in-house catering, DJs and sound systems. Entertainers, decorators, flower arrangers and other suppliers are available on an “on-call” basis. Vessels can be independently or collectively booked for larger meeting events and functions. And, all are conveniently moored on the harbourfront in the heart of downtown Toronto. Perfect for groups of 20 to 575 passengers.

As an added bonus, the Captain Matthew Flinders, Mariposa Cruises’ flagship, will be re-launching in spring 2011, after undergoing a quarter of a million dollar renovation. Among the many interior enhancements to the ship are a new state-of-the-art sound system.

To book your next event with Mariposa Cruises call 1-866-627-7672 or 416-203-0178 or e-mail reservations@mariposacruises.com.

Happy sailing!
