What co-hosts and guests have to say...

"Maddox and Dwight do know how to plan a party, and one with a twist! Their organized series of icebreakers and break-out periods are structured in a way that you can’t leave the party without at least 1 or 2 new friends. Whether it’s reconnecting with familiar faces or first time encounters, Maddox and Dwight have perfected the ideal networking cocktail party."

~ Michael Dewberry, founding director at Pride Museum of Texas

"My experience with Maddox and Dwight was delightful! I oftentimes shy away (or runaway) from social events that resemble “networking” in any form and their events are far from that! The activities were thoughtful, engaging and fun! I appreciated the fact that they intentionally curated a group of people who shared the same artistic paths but different expressions. I connected with some amazing humans and I am excited to do it again!"

~ Dawn R Franklin, owner/designer at Dawn Franklin Designs

"I have now attended two events hosted by Maddox & Dwight. I have known Maddox for many years and recently reconnected with him and he extended an invitation to their event. He presented the concept, and I was all in. The idea of connecting with individuals on a deeper and more personal level was something I was longing for, and I feel like I'm not the only one. Maddox & Dwight instantly make you feel comfortable and a part of something greater than yourself. Their events are organized very well and come complete with name tags, cocktails and snacks. However, you won't eat anything because you will be too busy being part of some great conversations with other guests. The only downside is that you leave wanting it to last longer because you're having such a good time. I guess that's a good problem to have."

~ Cash Anglin, photographer and owner of Cash Anglin Photography

"The only thing I can say is... I was pretty lonely in Dallas before I met these two!”

Now my social schedule is booked months in advance.. I love people & new adventures... so am super grateful our paths crossed on a morning walk during a very hot summer in Dallas!

Thanks Maddox & Dwight for all you do for the many lonely people in Dallas... you make life a little sweeter for everyone you come in contact with!"

~ Tammy Keating Houghton, fashionista and owner of Purse-a-nality

"I attend quite a few events of this nature and I have never experienced anything as amazing as this."

~ Matthew Osborne, director/producer and owner of 19 Production House

"My experience co-hosting with Maddox and Dwight was a positive experience from start to finish. They are incredibly kind, supportive and organized making the experience productive and enjoyable for me as well as our guests. I look forward to our next adventure!"

~ Joey Brock, artist and owner of Joey Brock Art

"I feel so incredibly grateful to have experienced these life changing events centered around meaningful connections. Maddox and Dwight thoughtfully curate these simple but powerful events that are super easy to fit into my schedule, but also profoundly effective in connecting me to some of the most amazing people that I wouldn’t have otherwise encountered. Dwight and Maddox make it so comfortable for all, they are quite the welcoming, gracious hosts with a big splash of warm smiles and lots of laughter!"

~ Keri Clark Gassaway, holistic health coach and owner of Live Well by Keri

"The events hosted by Maddox and Dwight are nothing like the exhausting networking events I’ve had to endure for work. Instead, I found a diverse group of fun and interesting people who are gathered not for commerce, but to revel in the opportunity to connect with others. Also, there is just enough structure to put an introvert like me at ease and actually find enjoyment in social interaction."

~ Ken Howard, author/entrepreneur

"Attending Maddox and Dwight's "Creatives" mixer this summer was an incredible experience. Mingling with fellow creatives, engaging in icebreakers, and sharing our creative journeys made for an intentional and valuable evening of meaningful connections."

~ Christi Meril, artist and owner of Christi Meril Contemporary Fine Art

"I have so enjoyed being a part of Maddox and Dwight’s events. I admit, I was a little skeptical at first, unsure how a two-hour event could bring together a complete group of strangers. Not only did Maddox and Dwight effectively ‘break the ice’ but also created a space where all of the personalities really seemed to gel. I’m so happy to have met some incredibly interesting people and am looking forward to the next event. For anyone who is a little apprehensive, leave your worries at the door and head inside! You’ll be so happy you did."

~ Meridith Manning, producer/director and owner of Meridith Manning Productions

"My experience of attending Maddox and Dwight's socials has been nothing but amazing. I always find new and interesting people to talk to and I leave with new connections. The atmosphere promotes a warm and welcoming vibe and great hosts."

~ Randy Woodring, president at Woodcrest Counseling, PLLC

"Dwight and Maddox are the ultimate hosts. They know how to create a comfortable, friendly, authentic environment where people feel at ease. The guests are the people you’ve always wanted to meet... you just haven’t had the chance yet. When they invite, I show up because I know I will have a wonderful experience with new friends that I feel as if I’ve always known."

~ Jane Baldwin, own of Jane's Dynamic Unwinding

"I thoroughly enjoyed my collaboration between Joey Brock and myself as co-hosts of a remarkable event tailored specifically for "Creatives".
Our collaboration with the amazing duo of Maddox and Dwight, proved to be a stress free/enjoyable event, thanks to the support system they provided. Their assistance surpassed expectations! Additionally, they offered invaluable guidance regarding the necessary arrangements for venue preparation, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved.
I eagerly anticipate future collaborations with Joey Brock and the exceptional Maddox and Dwight."

~ Liz King, owner of Unpacked Pink Asphalt

"Authentic, joyful, low-pressure creative connection ~ that ’s what I experienced during the unique mixer for creatives I attended that was hosted by Maddox & Dwight. The gentle, yet supportive, structure they provided throughout the event afforded the opportunity to engage with many more people on a deeper level than a run-of-the-mill networking event or cocktail party where people tend to clump off into small groups and stay in our comfort zone. I highly recomend Authentic Events with Maddox & Dwight and look forward to attending another very soon!"
