A huge thank-you to Paul, our amazing auctioneer at Dancing with the Vernon Stars! His communication and advice leading up to the event were invaluable, and his energy and professionalism on stage helped make the night a huge success. We’re so grateful for his support and expertise!

Paul was most recently our auctioneer for our gala charity event, and he was outstanding. He is able to connect with the crowd and get them engaged with the auction. Overall, the event was a huge success and Paul was a big part of the success of that night.

Paul and his wife provided an amazing experience for our fundraising dessert auction. His professionalism, expertise, humour, and relatability elevated our event significantly. He connected so well with our donors and I believe that this connection greatly increased the success of our event. If you are even considering “an auction for a cause”, Paul is your man!

I'm one of the managers at the O'keefe ranch historic site that was part of the Online Triple Charity Auction that Benefit Auctions had put on to help raise money for our non for profit historic site. Benefits Auctions were more than accommodating to us and provided us with an excellent opportunity to raise funds with little work on our part. I could not more highly recommend working with Benefit Auctions!

Paul did an excellent job raising funds for us through an online charity auction that he set up. It was a great experience to be a part of, and we will definitely be using Benefit Auctions in the future for fundraising events.

Paul at Benefit Auctions is AMAZING!! He was professional, helpful, informative, and brought great energy to our event. He helped our school raise money for a student mission trip and we felt so supported. The event was so successful because of his input and advice. He was invaluable!!!!

100% recommend!! I work the Kelowna Gospel Mission, and we decided to host our First ever Art auction this past January. It was an absolute tremendous success, with amazing community, and Art. When it came to choosing our Auctioneer for the event, we looked for recommendations from other galleries on who they use for their auctions. Paul came very highly recommend for his reliability, structure of his Auctions, going above and beyond to learn about the art and artist involved, and always being there to answer questions. Our galleries involved loved his work and flow of the auction. and he was able to get the highest value on each piece of artwork. He was super friendly and worked the room to learn more of our guests and their desires. I highly recommend if you are looking for a professional and talented Auctioneer that you check out Paul Bielby @ benefit Auctions.
