What Clients Say About

the Results

Exceeded our fundraising goal.

"Jesse was a fantastic auctioneer. He read the room well, pushed folks when appropriate and most importantly, made it exciting a fun for all of the guests in attendance. Not to mention, Jesse is also very funny! I have been to many events and this one was quite different. People were engaged and hanging on Jesse's every word. We were a little nervous that the event might not bring the kind of money we hoped for and Jesse quickly diffused that feeling in me once he got started. He helped us exceed our fundraising goal and raised a lot of money to help kids. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone planning an event. He is easy to work with, has great ideas to help the fundraising efforts and is easy to reach when needed. Thanks for all you did for the First Tee of Greater Pasadena!!"

High Energy. Big Results.

"Jesse Hernandez was a fantastic addition to our client's gala and played a major role in the event's success. As the fundraising consultant for the event, I especially appreciated how collaborative, professional, and prepared he was throughout the process. Jesse brings incredible energy to the room, along with a great sense of humor that keeps guests engaged and entertained without ever losing focus on the fundraising goals. He's enthusiastic, creative, and knows how to build momentum in a way that feels natural and exciting for donors. His ability to connect with the audience, think on his feet, and keep the program moving smoothly helped create a fun, high-energy atmosphere that translated into strong fundraising results. I would absolutely recommend Jesse to any organization looking for an auctioneer who can elevate both the guest experience and the impact of an event."

So Good, We're Bringing Him Back!

"Jesse was an outstanding emcee and auctioneer for our gala. He brought a dynamic, engaging presence that immediately connected with guests and set the tone for the evening. He was funny, charismatic, and keep the energy high! He was also great at building momentum during the auction. Even my husband was swept up in the moment and ended up bidding far more than he normally would, largely thanks to Jesse's energy and skill. We would highly recommend him and are excited to have him back next year!!!"

High Energy. High Returns. Every Time.

"We manage events throughout California — up to 50 each year — and working with Jesse and People Made was outstanding. They helped get our program off the ground and kept the energy high throughout the evening. Bryceson, his bid spotter, brought incredible energy to the dance floor and made sure our guests felt welcomed and excited, helping contribute to record-breaking fundraising for St. Mary. We will continue to hire Jesse again and again for our events."
