Gustavo and I, being Perth, West Australians, were blessed enough to have the amazing Kate Targett-Adams as our Master of Ceremonies at our wedding in Queenstown, New Zealand. Let me tell you, she’s not your average MC – she’s a STARRR! Kate brought this amazing blend of professionalism, warmth, and charisma that made our big day truly unique. We feel so blessed to have had her by our side!
As a Salvadorean and Malaysian Chinese couple, we were over the moon to experience Kate’s personal touch, adding Mandarin and Spanish flair to our wedding proceedings. It was just perfect, and we can’t sing her praises enough! Kate’s dedication and commitment were apparent from our first virtual email exchanges to our Zoom meetings and, of course, the big day itself. She really took the time to get our story, personal character brief of each family member, preferences, and vision, making sure everything reflected our unique journey as a couple.
Kate’s talent as an MC was absolutely mind-blowing (she is a gun in performances & we were blown away by the talents she has under her wings- from Singing, to multilingual & more). She had this way of connecting with the audience that was like nothing we’ve seen before – pure magic. Whether she was steering the ship, sharing our stories, or smoothly transitioning between different parts of the event, her skills were top-notch.
But what made Kate truly stand out was her warmth and genuine connection with our guests. It wasn’t like having a hired pro; it felt more like having a dear friend celebrating right alongside us. That personal touch turned our wedding into something intimate and unforgettable.
Kate’s attention to detail and pursuit of perfection shone through every step of the ceremony. From her effortless coordination with other vendors to flawlessly managing the timings, she ensured our big day flowed seamlessly. Her dedication was a calming presence, letting us kick back and enjoy our special day without stressing over logistics.
In a nutshell, Kate Targett-Adams, our incredible MC from Queenstown, New Zealand, wasn’t just a host – she was a crucial part of why our wedding was to be remembered forever! THANK YOU ONE MILLION & MORE Kate! WORLD CLASS

“Kate emceed at a recent dinner we organised for 100 top global executives in Hong Kong and highly impressed our clients. She showed both professionalism and personality, striking just the right balance for both the audience and the event. We will definitely be inviting Kate back to emcee for us in the future.”
Chris MacDonald, Jack Mortan VP
Kate’s great poise and stage presence have made her a natural choice to emcee many of our events, attended by our high profile and select guests. We are more than happy to recommend Kate as both as an Ambassador of the Princes Trust and an experienced and talented Emcee.
