Heidi Gauthier, N Street Village

"Stratus Firm has supported N Street Village’s Gala production needs since 2016, and we couldn't be happier with the collaboration. Throughout the planning for our 25th Anniversary Gala, the team demonstrated exceptional adaptability and professionalism, especially when faced with unexpected, last minute major program changes. The team’s leadership and care were instrumental in ensuring the success of our event, and we're grateful for their dedication and expertise.”

They have consistently delivered first-rate, high-impact experiences for our annual meetings—most recently, the 2024 WDCEP Annual Meeting. The team’s full-service capabilities, close-knit partnerships, and personal touch have made them a trusted and reliable partner. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Stratus Firm to produce exceptional events that showcase the economic vibrancy of Washington, DC.”

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.”
