We selected Rob to serve as the MC for our annual corporate party, and the event was a resounding success, largely due to his humor and quick wit. Collaborating with Rob was a seamless experience; from our initial conversation to the main event, he demonstrated responsiveness, transparency, and punctuality. We look forward to working with him on future occasions.

We asked Rob to join us as an MC for our corporate Christmas party, and we sure are glad we did! Rob was an ultimate professional throughout the planning stages, constantly meeting with our team to discuss the event. He happily accommodated any requests we had and also brought some ideas of his own!
During our event, he brought a warm and welcoming energy from start to finish. He was engaging with everyone and encouraged people to laugh, relax, and enjoy the evening. Rob even brought some fun mini games to keep people entertained when there was a lull in the evening, which many guests enjoyed.
Rob was a pleasure to work with and we thank him for his effort and energy. He was integral to the success of our event and we would gladly work with him again!
THANK YOU ROB!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Rob Pagetto as our Emcee for our wedding at Woodbine Banquet Hall on August 26, 2024, and I cannot express how fantastic he was! From the very beginning, he was professional, energetic, and truly committed to making our special day run smoothly.
Rob, did an incredible job keeping the afternoon on track, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly from the ceremony to the reception. He was engaging and charismatic, with the perfect balance of humor and elegance. His ability to read the room and adjust the mood accordingly was phenomenal – whether it was building excitement for the grand entrance, smoothly transitioning between speeches, and/or keeping the dance floor energized, he did it all with flair.
What really stood out was how he made our guests feel welcome and involved. He had everyone laughing and participating without ever being over the top. His communication with us throughout the night was excellent, ensuring that we were comfortable and that everything was happening according to our vision.
We are so grateful for his attention to detail and dedication to making sure our day was as magical as we had hoped. He truly took a lot of the stress off our shoulders, allowing us to enjoy every moment of the celebration.
If you're looking for someone who can elevate your event and create unforgettable moments, look no further than Rob Pagetto! We highly recommend him to anyone in need of an outstanding Emcee.
Thank you again, Rob, for being such an integral part of our wedding day!

Response from Rob Pagetto:
Thanks Vishwa for an amazing review. In about a month I will be a licensed officiant so if you know of anyone getting married feel free to pass on my info. I just wish I would have been able to marry you both as the love in that room was palpable.

One of the best decisions made was having Rob be a part of our wedding day. From the time he arrived he was ready to jump in and help with anything we needed. Everyone loved his energy, and games and the surprise he helped my daughter plan for us all. 100% will have him host any future events for us. He helped make sure everything ran smoothly all day, beyond grateful and appreciative of every ounce of effort he put into our day. He did more than just keep us organized, on time and entertained... he planned the most special surprise with my daughter that left us all in happy tears, he moved my train out of the way so I did fall during my first dance, he kept us all laughing, and he was the perfect addition to our day.
Forever thankful you accepted our request to help make our day perfect.
Thank you so much Rob.

Rob was an incredible Emcee and Auctioneer for our charity's first annual fundraising event.
Committed to the cause, Rob regularly attended our event planning meetings, offering insightful feedback and seamlessly integrating himself as a part of our team. His genuine belief in our cause was evident, and he consistently demonstrated support towards our mission.
Rob's positivity, charisma, and approachability made him a pleasure to work with. He not only contributed to our social media content but also ensured all his submissions were timely and aligned with our content calendar. Rob's willingness to provide creative content that introduced him to our audience ahead of the event was a wonderful addition, helping to build excitement and engagement.
On the day of the event, Rob really matched the room's energy! As our Emcee, he conveyed necessary information to our guests, acknowledged our sponsors, and added his own personal touch, making everyone feel comfortable, excited, and thoroughly engaged. As an auctioneer, Rob was full of refreshing energy and interacted with the audience to encourage and increase fundraising from the beginning of our event right until the very end. He conducted both our Live Auction and Fund-A-Need, helping us exceed our fundraising goal.
Rob's role definitely contributed to the success of our event, and we’re so grateful our paths crossed! We highly recommend Rob for any event – his dedication, enthusiasm, and professionalism are truly commendable.

Rob was an incredible Emcee and Auctioneer for our fundraising gala. He brought energy, enthusiasm, fun and humour to the night. A true professional, and a master at public speaking and entertaining. He was willing to go above and beyond to make the event flow seamlessly and to keep guests happy and entertained.
As an auctioneer, Rob was full of energy and interacted with the audience to encourage and increase fundraising from the minute our event started all the way until the very end of the night. His unique approach to auctioneering was refreshing and fun for both bidders and spectators and made our live auction one of the highlights of the night that guests have continued to rave about since the auction closed.
We would recommend hiring Rob as your emcee and/or auctioneer for any event in a heartbeat!

We hired Rob to moderate/host our conference. He was very engaging, professional and humourous. His time management was impeccable. He was able to tease information out of panel speakers and keep all the sessions on track. He is not afraid to bring idea to the table to enhance the guest experience.
Rob has a great sense of humour and was able to keep the delegates entertained, but at the same time as keeping the conference professional. He dressed appropriately and looked very sharp, so represented our brand well.
We will definitely be hiring Rob again for all of our conferences and other projects in the future. We highly recommend him for your event.

We worked with Rob for a corporate event in the park and he was amazing. He took our script, made it his own and enhanced all the areas that required his unique special touch. I was happy with his performance and have added him to my preferred Emcee roster!

Rob was the Master of Ceremonies at our son’s Wedding in November 2022. Within minutes of being introduced to the Wedding party and family, Rob nailed their personalities and selected introduction music which was spot on!! His personality, charisma, charm and ability to read the room was second to none! He kept the reception on track and on time without effort.
Rob had a unique and fun game to engage the guests during the dinner, instead of “tapping glasses” to get the Bride and Groom to kiss, which was very fun and entertaining!
We received so many compliments from family and guests about how amazing Rob was, and how much he added to the Wedding. I couldn’t agree more!!! Our daughter just got engaged and I will be securing Rob again without hesitation.
Thank you Rob!
