    “Our move to Canada was our ninth relocation in 23 years and without a doubt the smoothest and happiest to date because of ARIANNE’S amazing professionalism and attention to detail. ARIANNE contacted me within 24 hours of our relocation confirmation to find out our concerns and needs which they began to address immediately. Their personal touch, fantastically human staff and genuine care for every member of my family – from 5 years to nearly 50 meant that all four of our children, my husband and I all had the happiest of arrivals and relocation to our new life in Montreal.”

    “Thanks to ARIANNE and its competent & knowledgeable team, we were able to find a great home, the right schools for our children and last but not least were able to cope successfully with the local administration in its various forms! The services of ARIANNE were outstanding and made our transition from Germany to Canada smooth and enjoyable. This help was critical and ensured our very successful integration into Quebec. Thank you!”

    “Manon and her team at ARIANNE have helped me and my family move from England to Montreal and a second time within Montreal. Having moved around the globe many times before, I can categorically say that the support and personal service we received was exceptional. Manon and her team are not only expert in the technical aspects of an international move, they also know that this is a very emotional and stressful time for the executive and the family. The support received on both counts was timely, creative and seemed effortless. I warmly recommend Manon and ARIANNE as a top tier provider in their field.”
