Read below to find out what some of our users have to say about VIVIEN!

Ken and Bonni Evans, Eventuosity, Canada, August 2006

"Vivien proved surprisingly easy to learn. The online tutorials helped us with some judicious trial and error. Since the work was completed on a holiday weekend, there was no opportunity to call tech support, yet we had no trouble generating the imagery we wanted?even using an old PII 1.0 GHz machine!"

André Vasanne, MeeTincS, Luxembourg, February 2006

"I would like to say that your efficiency and service is really great. It would be like heaven if all software producers would respond like you to the queries of their clients. Furthermore, your product is a top software."

Steve Irwin, Lighting Designer, The Show Design Network, Gainesville, GA, January 2006

"Vivien rocks! I just began my first show with a client who is using Vivien and so far I am very impressed. He was able to build a very good looking rendering showing me what he had in mind, now I simply take the Vivien file and import in to WYSIWYG to build my section of the show. I have to admit that I was a little skeptical about Vivien at first, but I am quickly understanding its potential. Check it out for your clients who design events but don't design the lights."

Tony Hansen, Techni-Lux Inc., January 2006

"Vivien was used extensively at this year's Parnelli Awards during LDI. Its table layout feature was a lifesaver for us."

Scott Finkle, Director of AV/Presentation Services, The Marriott Wardham Park Hotel, October 2005

"I wanted to take a moment to thank Cast Lighting for your Vivien Rendering Product. The Marriott Wardman Park is the largest and most prestigious hotel in Washington, DC. We hold events for several VIP and high-level groups on a weekly basis and host several Presidential events throughout the year. We also have several large production companies and outside audio visual vendors in the hotel from time to time. We needed a product that would help the in-house stand above the rest in the sales phase of contract negotiations. After evaluating several other CAD/Rendering programs, I can't tell you how happy I am with Vivien. We have secured several groups with Vivien and continue to outpace the competition with our successful use of this product.

"My sales staff are not CAD wizards; They are sales people. When they can secure a $100,000.00 piece of business by showing the client what the event is going to look like before they leave the site visit, that's priceless."

Diana Zimmerman, President CMS Communications, Intl - Top 10 Event Planning Agencies, October 2005

"Vivien is an absolutely incredible event design tool. The software's ability to quickly produce everything from simple floor plans to elaborate and highly complex 3D renderings has already saved CMS time and money. The members of my design team vary in their abilities. Some are computer savvy and some are just learning, but they have all been able to use Vivien. Just as importantly, they have found the Vivien team to be extremely responsive and supportive, helping them in anyway they can with immediate answers to technical or design questions. I am extremely pleased with Vivien; it does everything and more than I expected."

Carol Moxam, President, Eventedge, Toronto, Canada, October 2005

"Vivien bridges the gap between event partners by effectively translating ideas into detailed plots, accurate floor plans and photo-realistic renderings. In an industry where change is frequent and time is of the essence, Vivien succeeds in simplifying the process. Vivien makes events come to life before they happen."

John Casarez, KVL Audio Visual Services, NY, August 2005

"I really enjoyed the Vivien class and learned a lot today. I want to thank your technical staff on an excellent and wonderful response to all questions. I personally would like to thank Chris and Dany for all their support--good people to have on your staff. Most manufacturers do not give you the proper tech support. Please keep this product and support professionals as is! And, we will be purchasing this product very soon!"

Adam Gray, Chief Production Technician Graveney School, July 2005

"Thanks for getting in touch. I never thought that anybody would ever actually contact me when I registered for the trial. I found Vivien easy to use--and once you know the basics it's quiet simple to start building 3D models with the software. One feature I particularly liked was the seating wizard; I love the way it works out everything for you. I think Vivien's a great program, and very unique."

Elissa M. Fallo, Event Producer, Perfect Productions, USA, June 2005

"Vivien bridges the gap between event partners by effectively translating ideas into detailed plots, accurate floor plans and photo-realistic renderings. In an industry where change is frequent and time is of the essence, Vivien succeeds in simplifying the process. Vivien makes events come to life before they happen."

Robert Robertson, Project Manager, American Audio Visual Center, USA, June, 2005

"Vivien is being very well received! Tim Young is our Production Assistant in Team Staging and I think if Vivien were a real girl he might marry her the way he tells it."
