“Should I know of anyone who would need the name of a vendor in Boston (or anywhere for that matter), I would (with enthusiasm) refer JCALPRO. It is a great reflection on your company by the gear provided us, the prep, but especially your team members—the guys who pulled it off! You should be proud. We certainly were, as our client was extremely pleased with what turned out to be a successful show.”
— Stage Lighting Design/Direction/Production, PLS Staging (General Motors Event)
“From the complex rigging needs of the Ringling Brothers Circus, to the hundreds of rock shows and other special events which requires precision planning and absolute attention to details, James Callanan and his staff at JCALPRO, Inc. have always exceeded our expectations… We, here at ‘The Garden’, look forward to continuing our relationship with James Callanan and JCALPRO, Inc.”
— Sr. V.P. Arena Business and Operations, TD Garden

“Thank you for all your help. Everything went very smooth, my client was super happy with the outcome of the event. It was a pleasure to work with your crew.”
— Technical Director, PLS Staging (Royal Bank of Scotland Event)
“We were presented with a fairly large show for that room, a ridiculous timetable, truly custom rigging requirements, interesting power issues and a concept that was in constant evolution from our client. You and your crew made it all happen… As for my firm, my first call will be to JCALPRO whenever I find myself in Boston.”
— Production Manager, Design One Corporation (Heineken National Distributors Conference)
“Russell Jones, and the JCALPRO staff were able to provide the best production personnel in Boston within the appropriate labor organization. This is not simply the tired old saw of ‘labor-peace.’ This is customer service at its best.”
— Special Representative, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE)
“I must tell you the experience here was nothing but positive, and I have to applaud the stagehands, teamsters, and all the talented labor provided…Our expectations of MS Tech Ed were met with a caliber of expertise and efficiency I can only praise.”
— Production Coordinator, Productions Support Services (Microsoft Tech Ed Show)
“We have had occasion to use the services of JCALPRO to fulfill special requirements from our clients and have never been disappointed in their ability to deliver the specific items needed in a timely and cost effective manner.”
— President and CEO, Citi Performing Arts Center
“Please do me a big favor and thank the entire crew for me that helped me out with all the EMC stuff….Not that you guys aren’t aware of it, but you are truly a top notch group of people that make my job effortless. I only wish I could take you guys with me on all my shows! Hard working, knowledgeable crews with a can do attitude is a lost art form today, but it is refreshing to know that there still are companies out there, like JCALPRO that still has it going on and has mastered all those aspects.”
— Senior Project Manager, Cramer
“Thanks for a great job in coordinating/rigging/pricing all of the high work on ASTRO. This was truly one of the smoothest shows with suspended signs/high work I have had in a long time. I can now see why you must have exact information as your beautiful facility is so unique with the high ceilings. All of the pre rigging saved the day.”
— Senior Team Leader–Trade Shows, The Expo Group (American Society for Radiation Oncology)
“We are Grateful for all your hard work on the Red Sox Hall of Fame Dinner. Everyone commented on how beautiful the room looked. You and your crew were a pleasure to work with and we greatly appreciate your flexibility with any of the last minute changes. We can’t thank you enough for helping us make the event a success. Your contribution will allow the Red Sox Foundation to continue its good work in communities all across New England.”
— Executive Director, Red Sox Foundation (Red Sox Hall of Fame Dinner)
“Specifically, the Ropes & Gray Client commented on the ability of JCALPRO to produce an event of that magnitude, in the recently opened BCEC, would have proven a challenge to most vendors. However, not to JCALPRO. They rose to the challenge and comforted Ropes & Gray with their guidance and expertise each step of the way. From the numerous site visits to rehearsal after rehearsal, JCALPRO set themselves apart by responding to the every need of the client and the event.”
— President and CEO, Conventures, Inc.
“Closed out a great run of show. I couldn’t be happier with the service JCALPRO provided. Day of load-in, Pat Ryan went above and beyond, and I can’t express how much I appreciate him and his ability to keep our show moving. He made items appear out of thin air. He and his teams went above and beyond at every turn.”
— Project Manager, American Society for Radiation Oncology
“Maria Maradianos has been providing me with guidance and recommendations not only for ASTRO, but the Yankee Dental Conference as well!”
— American Society for Radiation Oncology, Booth #5051 Augmenix
“CB and Kristen and the entire rigging team did an amazing job at accomplishing the install in two days’ time to allow us to start the booth build. They came to check on us daily to see if we were okay and needed anything. This was truly one of the best rigging experiences I have had in my 10 years of managing exhibits. Thanks again to the entire team of JCALPRO!”
— American Society for Radiation Oncology, Booth #2009 Accuray
“No matter how much time is put into pre-production planning by me and my team, if the local crews hired to perform the work are not both qualified and hardworking, all our efforts are wasted. Your crews were amongst the best we have had all across the country. Your flexibility, attitude and humor made my job a pleasure. When either Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy! Return to the Boston area, you will be my first phone call for another great crew.”
— Coordinating Producer & Technical Supervisor, Wheel of Fortune/Jeopardy!
