Can't wait for our next event together in 2019!”

    • Nancy Deanne (NCL Del Sol Senior Recognition 2018)

    “I am at a loss of words as to express how grateful I am to Julie and her team for helping us coordinate and produce our NCL Senior Recognition. This has been a year-long process of planning and then to add to that, we had La Costa Resort boot us out of our contract two months prior to our event for 390 people, due to a scheduling conflict on their part. Thank God for Julie who helped us transition with our new venue 8 weeks out! She kept us sane throughout the process and the event was AMAZING on every level. I am happy to be done with the planning but will seriously miss talking to Julie every day.”

    • Ann Yeakley Madison (NCL Senior Recognition 2018)

    “San Diego Visual Productions has earned repeat business time and again from the NCL Surf Cities chapter for both the annual Fashion Shows and Senior Recognition events. The outstanding service and professionalism from Julie Fought and her staff provided the amateur planners tools to succeed and manage multiple expectations. Every detail paid off with a beautiful, seamless event for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for creating a memorable event for the Class of 2018!”

What a great team Julie Fought has at SD Visual! Our Surf Cities NCL Fashion Show was a total, outstanding success due in large part to the attentive and thorough approach in making each aspect of the production coordinate with the others, reassuring an anxious group of teens and mothers all the while maintaining a superior level of professionalism and skill. Wonderful group, wonderful experience!”

I highly recommend Julie and her team!”

    • Nancy Love (NCL Fashion Show Poway 2017)

It was a beautiful show... the clothes were perfect, the music set the tone and the girls all looked amazing!

    • Linda Amico (Surf Cities Chapter 2015 Fashion Show)

    “I had the pleasure of working with Julie Fought and SD Productions the last several months on a 430-person fashion show. I have never been involved in such an event before, as I was doing this as a NOVICE volunteer position… needless to say I did not know what I was doing! No matter …. Julie Fought held my hand through the process and helped with MANY things that were WAY above and beyond the call of duty. She was there to give me advice, steer me in the right direction, and encouraged me when I was feeling overwhelmed. As for the production itself, IT WAS SPECTACULAR. This event exceeded my expectations and I am still getting compliments about our fashion show … we were all just volunteers and our 15-year-old daughters were the models!!! I heard from many people that our daughters all looked like professional models on the runway. This was all thanks to Julie Fought and her experienced team and their instruction, guidance and preparation. Julie assisted me with the production company, the hotel venue and took care of absolutely everything to do with the fashion show … which once again thoroughly exceeded my expectations and was a complete success. I would recommend Julie and her team confidently and would hire them again in a heartbeat!”

    • Diane Dale (Del Norte 2014 Fashion Show)

    “I would like to recommend Julie Fought of San Diego Visual Productions for your next event. She coordinated our National Charity League Fashion Show last fall and did an outstanding job!

I loved her energy and her ability to work with the mothers and daughters with ease. I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.”

I would definitely use her services again in a future event."
