Nicole HightowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Biddy Up has been a game-changer for our galas! Carrie has been the auctioneer for our last 3 galas and has helped us exceed our fundraising goals through her incredible ability to engage and energize a crowd. Her enthusiasm is contagious, her pacing is flawless, and she knows exactly how to keep the momentum going throughout the event. She has a natural talent for reading the room, connecting with guests, and inspiring generosity in a way that feels authentic and exciting. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, she brings a level of energy and passion that elevates the entire experience. We truly believe our galas are more successful because of Biddy Up!

She puts in the work and the result is nothing but fabulousness!! Thank you Carrie!!! I’ve never been to an event with auctioneer as effective and compassionate as you!!! James FidlonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first live auction, and we could not be happier with how it went. Carrie was right by our side from start to finish, supporting us from the initial planning stages all the way through event night. Our guests had a blast, and the auction revenue exceeded our expectations. Carrie is a total pro, and I’d recommend Biddy Up without reservation to anyone planning a live auction for their next fundraiser. victoria pontiffTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie with Biddy Up is the best! She's done our fundraiser, Garden Party, auction for the last 4 years and she simply keeps getting better! Couldn't recommend her enough Callie HesterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Carrie and her team. She was well prepared and helped nudge lots of our packages over the goal amount for us. She is great with a HUGE crowd too! Shayna VedadiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of working with Biddy Up Co-Chairing a Gala for our school fundraiser. Carrie was very organized and professional, thinking of every detail before the auction to help meet our fundraising goals. Her energy, along with her team of Cowboys brought fun to our gala that was contagious. Her social media content is on point and you can tell her entire team enjoys providing exceptional service. I will definetely recommend Biddy Up to other charity events and friends looking for an auctioneer, and look forward to to working with them again personally in the future. Laura PullingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely love working with Carrie Frugé from Biddy Up. This is our second year bringing her in as our auctioneer, and she continues to exceed expectations. From the very beginning, Carrie is professional and incredibly prepared. The pre-event strategy meetings are invaluable — she doesn’t just show up and “call bids,” she partners with you to structure the auction for maximum impact. Her experience in the auction world is obvious, and she uses that expertise to guide pacing, lot placement, energy flow, and bidder strategy in a way that genuinely increases results. On the night itself, she arrives ready to go. She takes the time to understand the key players in the room and builds rapport before she ever steps on stage. That makes a huge difference once bidding begins. Her stage presence is electric — confident, commanding, and engaging without ever feeling forced. And the cowboy spotters in the audience add such a fun, high-energy element that really elevates the entire experience. Most importantly, she drives impactful bidding while keeping the room feeling positive and generous. We saw the difference. We would highly recommend Carrie and Biddy Up to anyone looking to level up their auction. She’s not just an auctioneer — she’s a strategic fundraising partner. Lindsey LevinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie was amazing to work with! Always positive and was on time for our calls/meetings and handled every step of the process leading up to our event smoothly and gracefully. Once on stage, she shined and led our auction to the most successful year ever! Highly recommend her and her team for your next fundraising event! Tori VillarrealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie and the Biddy Up team were exceptional to work with and I'd highly recommend them for your next event! From the beginning, Carrie was organized, knowledgeable, and friendly. She had our best interests in mind and provided thoughtful feedback on our auction process. She took the time to come tour our clinics to get a deep understanding of our mission and our clients. During our event, Carrie did a great job mingling with our crowd and keeping the energy high in the room. During the auction and Paws Up moment, Carrie commanded the room with confidence and poise. Thanks to Carrie and her team, we had the best auction we've ever had and we're so excited to work with her again this year! Ellie BaroniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Biddy Up is absolutely fantastic! Carrie is an incredible auctioneer who brings unmatched energy, professionalism, and fun to every event. Her upbeat personality is contagious, and she has a real talent for keeping the crowd engaged. Her team of cowboys are always a hit as well! They add so much charm and excitement to the experience. You can tell Carrie truly loves what she does, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs. If you’re looking for an auctioneer who is lively, reliable, and unforgettable, Carrie and Biddy Up are the way to go! Highly recommend! 🐎🤠
