Tanya is amazing - she Emceed our 1000 person charity event, in the rain, and was so professional about it. Tanya came to all of our pre-event meetings prepared and engaged, and made sure to introduce herself to all important fundraisers, sponsors, and other notable guests so she could speak on them during the her speeches. Even though the weather was terrible, Tanya was on the stage smiling, engaging the audience, and ensuring all key points of the speech were hit. She was very flexible, rolling with the changes of the event as needed by checking in with event organizers and keeping a pulse on what was going on at different stages of the event. She is so friendly and fun to talk to - I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is in need of an Emcee!
Tanya was excellent, highly recommend her for a wedding or any other event!
I saw Tanya on Gigsalad (just like you probably are) and I reached out to her and a few other MCs. It was immediately obvious to me that Tanya was born to host. She is articulate, fun, gracious, and charming all at once. The entire experience was 10/10. She was so amazing that I ended up thanking her, impromptu, in my bridal speech. She is truly a genius at her profession. I'm happy to give you a personal recommendations and tell you more about my amazing experience with her if you have any doubts, please just email me at mollycotman@gmail.com or @biggiemawls on instagram and I will give you more details on my experience. 10/10 overall, would book 1000 times over.
Tanya was so friendly and easy to work with. She reached out regularly leading up to the wedding to ensure that everything was in order, and did a fantastic job on the day-of. Tanya hosted with enthusiasm and humour, and we appreciated her warm presence on our big day.
Tanya brings her impressive energy, hosting skills and sense of fun to her hosting duties. She's super-likeable and will definitely get the job done.
I connected with Tanya just 2 weeks prior to my event. With only one meeting she was able to capture the essence of what I expected for my 50th Birthday Black Tie Gala.
She was highly responsive, flexible and culturally appropriate in all of my interactions with her. She was quick on her feet where issues arose during the evening, assimilated seamlessly with my guests like a long-time friend, and was the life of the party. Tanya was also articulate, ensured every aspect of the agenda was carried out, and my guests loved her. I HIGHLY recommend Tanya for your event.

The most common comment I receive is that people "love my energy" - that's a huge compliment. I pride myself in being a curious social-butterfly, and I thrive in front of an audience. Small group settings, large scale public gatherings, events, guerilla pop-ups - I enjoy sharing my energy with people.
As the long-time host of the live competitive painting competition 'Art Battle', my goals are simple: make the audience feel comfortable, bring them into the awe of the art as it unfolds, and give them the feeling that they are a part of something special.
Because it's not about me - it's about the art. A good host knows they are only there to keep guests connected to the performance.
That's when I'm at my best.
That's how I host.
For most events I will require a run of show, any talking points and if it's a wedding I would love to get to know the happy couple more (relationship story)
