Jennifer OlsonChoir Director / Performing Arts Chair / Service Learning Coordinator, Irvington High School“Omella is very service and relationship oriented. As a small (but growing!) Music School with a small team, it feels so good to have someone who is listening to our needs and genuinely wants to help.”
Robin KeartonPresident and founder, Community Center for the Arts (C4A)“Prom sales went so smoothly with one page for all sales — including cash and guest codes. It was night-and-day easier compared to last year. Out of 860 tickets sold, I saw less than 30 kids face to face — way less stress, and I could focus on teaching and leading.”
Jodie SeippEnglish Teacher & Prom Sponsor, O'Fallon Township High School“Omella representatives were extremely easy to work with and the features the company offers made it so user friendly and took a lot of stress away from me during a busy dance season!”
