We engaged David Zaharakis through Pickstar to attend our Mens Night on 16th March. He undertook a Meet n Greet with some of our young community members and created a relaxed environment for his audience signing memorabilia, answering questions and participating in photo opportunities. David was the guest speaker at our Mens Night and spoke to an enthusiastic group, participated in discussions and mingled with participants ensuring everyone had an opportunity to speak with him personally. David delivered everything we hoped for and more. He was engaging, easy to talk to, informative, enthusiastic, open. We can't thank him enough for making the Mens Night something special.
Faith Martin, Biggara Recreation Reserve Committee Inc
We had David Zaharakis come down for our past players & premierships reunion day/night. David went above and beyond for us and was fantastic with everone of all ages. He was our keynote speaker for the night and all reviews from his attendence and speaking have been 100% super positive. We couldn't speak any higher of him and Pickstar for the experience. We would highly recommend.

David Zaharakis was excellent! His talk was really captivating and he stayed around afterwards to take photos and interact with our guests. Highly recommend and would use pickstar again for our future events.

The Pickstar app is so easy to use. The stars started responding straight away. We booked David Zaharakis to attend our event. He was very responsive to our messages. And totally nailed the appearance on the day. Will definitely use Pickstar again. Highly recommend 10/10.
