Sarah Cooper

Writer, Comedian, and Speaker

Working with the AAE team was a pleasure! Your Sales and Logistics managers made communication and any logistical issues very easy for myself and our Committee. Having had a previous bad experience with another speaking agency, it was such a breath of fresh air working with All American Entertainment. Sarah [Cooper] was so professional and exactly what we were looking for to kick off our two-day event. The attendees really enjoyed her and I couldn't have asked for a better speaker. Thank you to the entire team at All American Entertainment. I will be passing on our recommendation to the next committee if they need your assistance. Thank you again!"

I am very happy with my experience with All American Entertainment.
