“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 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!

Katrina was so so amazing to work with. From the beginning she was so organised and made us feel like we were in good hands. She liaised with all our vendors to make sure everyone was across everything. On the night she was the best MC, hype girl and time keeper. I felt like I could completely trust her and everything went so smoothly. She was such a hit with our Chinese guests too! Her Cantonese was impeccable 👌🏻She brought such a nice fun vibe and energy and we couldn’t have asked for a better MC. We can’t thank Katrina enough.

We feel so blessed to have found Katrina. From the moment we stumbled across her while searching for a celebrant and MC, she was the full package—making our entire wedding journey seamless, joyful, and deeply personal. Katrina took the time to truly understand our story and personalities from the start. She crafted a detailed run sheet, guided us through writing our vows, and brought all our dreams to life on the day. We couldn’t have asked for a more positive or enjoyable experience. With her cheerful, empathetic spirit, boundless charisma, and unwavering professionalism, Katrina made everything feel effortless. Her exceptional writing, sharp organisation skills, and creative vision shone through at every step. It never felt like working with a vendor—it felt like collaborating with a friend who cared passionately about making our day perfect. Her calming presence let us relax completely, trusting she had everything under control so we could simply be present in the moment. Her beautiful telling of our love story during the ceremony still gives us chills. There’s no wonder Katrina has achieved so much.
