Hertfordshire event host & MC

Event host in Hertfordshire.

A Hertfordshire event host, fundraiser compere and master of ceremonies, from a fundraiser at Elstree Film Studios to toastmaster work further out across the county.

Fundraisers at Elstree, and beyond.

My Hertfordshire bookings cluster around Elstree and Borehamwood: a fundraiser at Elstree Film Studios, two bookings at the Village Hotel in Elstree, a fundraiser at Metropolitan in Bushey, and a fundraising quiz at Hadley Wood Golf Club near Barnet. Alongside that, I have carried out toastmaster duties at manor houses further out across the county.

A fundraiser and a formal occasion ask for the same underlying skill even though they look nothing alike: read exactly what the room needs at that moment, whether that is a live appeal or a toast. That comes from twenty years in live television and comedy presenting, not from working a script.

  • Regular bookings around Elstree, Borehamwood and Bushey
  • A pre-event consultation as standard, so nothing is a surprise on the night

Kevin was an absolute star! From start to finish he was professional, approachable and nothing was too much trouble. This was our first ever charity ball and with him on board we smashed our target by £12,000, and I know without a doubt a large portion of this was down to Kevin’s hard work. Everyone had a fabulous time and he set the perfect tone throughout the evening.

Kevin hosted our staff conference event this year which was fantastic. He brought an energy and enthusiasm with him and played a really important part in getting people engaged in the day. Thank you for all your help in making this a really memorable day for Golding.

We just wanted to say a big thank you to Kevin for hosting our annual charity ball. He was amazing on the night, very enthusiastic and engaging. Kevin kept the event running to time and did a superb job of encouraging our auction bidders to dig a little deeper!
