Gary S. Jared, Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys

“The team members at RJ Whyte (now Stratus Firm) are true professionals! They expertly guided our event from beginning to end. I wouldn't change a thing they did. I appreciate all of their hard work and dedication to making sure our first virtual gala was a success.”

Chad Cooley, Bozzuto Management Company

“In an amazingly short period of time, with little-to-no template to follow, RJ Whyte (now Stratus Firm) took years of BMA history and tradition and was able to synthesize it all into an amazing, dynamic, warm and genuine virtual program that left few feeling that they had missed out on a “real” BMA celebration. The can-do spirit and positivity which was a hallmark of the entire collaboration made even the tough times/decisions easy. When you are truly working with partners and friends, even the bumps in the road seem easily surmountable.”

Barfonce Baldwin, Tahirih Justice Center

“Thanks RJ Whyte Event Production Company (now Stratus Firm) for masterfully executing Tahirih Justice Center’s annual spring fundraiser in DC. With only four weeks planning time, your team quickly pivoted from an in-person gala to a virtual event that exceeded our wildest dreams. Absolutely brilliant work!”

Jenny Bilfield, Washington Performing Arts

“The complex coordination of a surprise gala guest required quick change as the guest changed itinerary and timeline multiple times, within a 2-hour period, during a very complicated event. The team was unflappable.”

Brad Roberts, National Geographic

“RJ Whyte (now Stratus Firm) always goes above and beyond their role at an event. They jump in where ever needed and act like they work for your company.”

Angelina Klouthis, C2Auctions
