I am a live entertainer and Master of Ceremonies. I am here to offer my services as a Master of Ceremonies, Entertainer, Speech Writer, Speech Coach and Events Coordinator. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your wedding, a loved one’s birthday bash or a glitzy gala event for the office (that could lead to that next promotion)- I believe that every function should be “E.P.I.C” as embodied by the following basic values I hold dear: E – Electrifying (Let’s enjoy surges of excitement, thrilling emotion and make memories!); P – Percipient (Let me create the vibe you want so you can relax while I handle the details.); I – Idyllic (As in “excellent & delightful in all respects” – Honestly, what more could you ask for?) C – Captivating (Seriously, if you have to ask, then you haven’t been paying attention to me!) So, if you share my belief set for an event/ function and have an event coming up, reach out to me and let’s work together to make your vision a reality.
