“Katrina's energy and passion for events are seen in the way she conducts herself in the planning of Monie and my wedding. Her intricacy in planning via her briefing meetings has greatly aided us in gathering a detailed understanding of how the evening would pan out and flesh out any potential causes for concern. Her bubbly personality and engaging character made it very comfortable for us to coordinate the details of the evening. She worked in synchronisation with our DJ, celebrant, venue coordinator, family and friends. Overall, Katrina was very entertaining. Her expression through linguistics of Cantonese and English garnered the entire crowd's attention assembling a wedding evening of laughter and fun. We would highly recommend Katrina for your next event!" — Michael + Monie. 

 

“We had the honour of having Katrina as our emcee at our wedding reception. She was energetic, bubbly, friendly, easily approachable, and perfect for multilingual events. Katrina is so organised leading up to our wedding. She made it super easy for my husband and I, and we could just rely on her and not need to be stressed with the events of the night. Everything went smoothly, and we are so glad to have Katrina as our emcee! We would highly recommend and refer Katrina to our friends and family. Thank you again, Katrina, for making our night super special and memorable!" — Hui + James.

We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant and MC for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive and thorough, helping us map out both our ceremony and reception run sheet with a level of organisation and attention to detail that truly impressed us. Her bubbly personality immediately put us at ease—it felt like we were working with an old friend. She was so easy to get along with, which made the entire planning process not just smooth, but genuinely enjoyable. One standout moment was when she asked about our colour theme so she could coordinate her outfit—such a thoughtful touch that shows just how much she cares about getting every detail right. She went above and beyond by reviewing our vows, coordinating seamlessly with our other vendors, and even setting up a pre-wedding meeting with the bridal party to manage expectations and ensure everyone was on the same page. That made a huge difference on the day itself! One of the reasons we chose her was her ability to speak both Cantonese and Hakka fluently, which was so important to us and our families. But that was just one of her many strengths—she brought so much warmth, energy, and professionalism to our wedding that we can’t imagine the day without her. We are so grateful to have had her as part of our celebration. Highly, highly recommend!

We loved Katrina so much—she was by far our favourite wedding vendor. As a celebrant, she made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process because she was so on top of everything. Not only is she someone who will make you feel confident that your requests will be fulfilled, but she’s also incredibly proactive with her problem-solving on the day. You just know she’ll take care of you. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful, and everything was in place thanks to her. She practically coordinated all the other vendors on our behalf and took charge of the day in the most seamless way. You could genuinely feel the shift in energy when other vendors found out Katrina was the celebrant—everyone was relieved and immediately more relaxed because they knew things were in good hands. Her celebrancy services were spectacular. She read out a beautiful love story that she made sure we were comfortable with beforehand. She told our story like she was one of our own friends, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and personal touches. She also helped us write our vows in a way that kept the element of surprise while making sure we were aligned in tone and sentiment. We can’t recommend Katrina enough—anyone would be lucky to have her on their special day.

We had the best experience with Katrina at our wedding. Prior to the reception, she worked closely with us to plan the run sheet and offered so many helpful suggestions to make the night flow perfectly. On the day, she collaborated seamlessly with our venue coordinator to ensure everything ran smoothly. Throughout the night, she kept checking in with us to make sure we were on schedule and that we could truly relax - we felt like guests at our own wedding. Her professionalism, organisation, and warm personality made such a difference. We’re so grateful and highly recommend her to any couple looking for an exceptional MC!

Katrina was simply fabulous! She was thorough with the preparation, even when it was done online. We are based in Singapore and we still managed to chat and prepare over the internet. Katrina took the time to get to know us before going through the details of the wedding. On the actual day, she arrived early and made us feel simply at ease! She made our wedding day stress-free and wow-ed our family and guests with her amazing voice and presence. Her energy and personality was very well received and loved!
