  • “Whether for a special event, or for day to day service, I recommend without reservation hiring The Shoeshine Guild to those seeking to work with the best in the Shoe Shine business.”

    — Annette Kevranian, CEO – Method 42 Productions

  • “I have worked with this group of talented individuals on several occasions and they have been outstanding. They turn a shoe shine into an entertainment adventure. My clients have been most impressed with the services and entertainment provided.”

    — Douglas Linneman, CMP, Director of Conference Services at Omni San Francisco Hotel

  • “The Shoeshine Guild has brought a unique flare to the luxury suites at SBC Park. Our guests truly appreciate the service they provide and even make it a point to wear specific shoes on ‘shine days.’ This group is dependable, professional and fun to work with.”

    — Amy Loskutoff, Director of Luxury Suites, San Francisco Giants, AT&T Park

  • "In the numerous times I have worked with the wonderful people at Shine and Co, every event has gone perfectly. During our off site meetings their staff is friendly polite and hard working. They make me look good and better yet, every pair of shoes they touch come out perfect."

    — Peter Monty, Vice President – DWS Investments

  • " I thoroughly enjoyed your involvement in my convention booth. The shoe shine service that you provided was top-notch and contributed a great deal to the large level of traffic we received at the booth. I knew that the shoe shine service would be a great draw to get attendees to visit our booth and stay for a while. That way, those of us representing Minnesota Life could have full conversations with attendees that might otherwise stop long enough (only) to get a trinket. The free service did exactly that. But the icing on the cake was the joyous conversation that you brought to our guests. After working with you I have greater expectations going forward. The convention was such a tremendous success, due in large part to your involvement. In addition to my wonderful experience with you in the booth, Kelly raved about how easy you were to work with in terms of coordinating the event… your cooperation and responsiveness. I’m thankful to you for your outstanding participation in this event, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future. My colleague is thrilled to work with you in New York."

    — Mary Docken, Group Life Insurance Marketing Specialist – Minnesota Life

  • "…I know a good shine when I see it. I’ve had my shoes shined all over the world and these shiners are world class."

    — Doug Vinson
