Introduction: An emcee sets the tone, adds to the energy, and ensures that the event keeps on schedule. I am always honored to have the microphone - the key is not to speak too much, not too little, but just the right amount. I like to work with my clients so I know their event goals. Whether raising money for a good cause, honoring people, hosting a small event or celebrating a special event - my job is to make my client look good, and make sure everyone has fun!

Kay is a really good host. She is professional and definitely knows how to talk to your audience with a couple jokes so that everyone feels comfortable. I highly recommend her for your event

Kay was wonderful to work with and so professional from start to finish! Kay paid attention to detail and made a great deal of effort to make sure that she understood what we wanted. Kay interacted with our event participants, was personable and thoughtful.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't charge by the hour. Most events are four hours, but I'm flexible, it's about the event not the time. Lots of people show up, read off index cards, and tell some tired jokes. That's not me. I prepare and do my homework. Red dress or Blue jeans? I arrive early and test out equipment, check out the space. I want to meet those in charge, greet people, go over the schedule, anticipate issues, and put everyone at ease. We will have fun and get the job done! I'm always honored to be asked back. There are many creative ways to come up with the funds to make things work - if you think I'm the right one for the job, don't let that stop you. $975/emcee event 4K-12K Corporate Storytelling Keynotes
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Application. Email. Phone conversation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I taught school in Kenya. I have a pen pal on death row I've known for over 10 years. My Mom was handicapped and brilliant. I am a Hospice Worker. I sew, follow a Keto diet, and lip sync to Michael Jackson as much as possible. I grew up Catholic and don't complain about it. My favorite color is tomato. I'm an NPR award-winning storyteller, which is wonderful, but mostly - I like people.
