About Us.

Over 19 years of signature event planning experience and counting.

Begun in 1990 as a successful woman owned business in New Orleans, Signature Destination Management has much to boast about.

  • 2002, we received our WBE certification.
  • 2004, Signature was named as one of the Top 25 destination management companies by Special Events Magazine.
  • 2007, named one of the top 15 companies to work for in New Orleans by City Business.
  • 2008, Charter Accredited Destination Management Company from the Association of Destination Management Executives (ADME). This program was designed to elevate professional standards and designate firms that demonstrate advance knowledge and experience essential to the practice of Destination Management. Signature DMC is one of only 24 companies worldwide to receive this accreditation.

All of this was accomplished with the hard work and dedication of the owners and team members.

Your Signature team is an experienced group of 10 full-time employees with an extended team of over 100 ancillary employees. This allows for a very broad reach of ideas and concepts when planning and organizing your signature event.

The team's dedication to the industry is only evident in hours of service on a local and global level. Almost everyone has participated on a committee or board to elevate the power of the meetings and events industry. Five of our team members have gone on to receive industry certifications. The commitment doesn't stop there. You will find our team volunteering within local neighborhoods, schools and churches. Of course, many festivals and fairs are recipients of our volunteer hours; most recently, The Po-Boy Festival, The Seafood Festival to benefit the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation. Wednesday at the Square to benefit the Young Leadership Council, The ForeKids! Foundation, and COPS II barbecue fest.

Signature has added meeting management to our repertoire destination management and event management product. They can be seen traveling around the country with preferred clients providing unparalleled services in other cities.
