WAYNE WAS THE PERFECT MASTER OF CEREMONY for the Design Excellence Awards event that I was in charge of directing in 2015. As with all awards ceremonies, the names of the Sponsors, VIPS and the winners needed perfect pronunciations; the proceedings of the event were also crucial. Yet Wayne did all of that with ease. Wayne is high up my option list for similar events!
~ Kelvin Chan, Events Director, Eminence Events

WAYNE NOT ONLY MADE A FORMAL EVENT FUN WITH CREATIVE ICEBREAKERS, he was also able to react and adjust quickly to various changes on the ground. He hosted our two-day CCAS Regional Contact Centre Symposium at Resorts World Sentosa, with 170 international delegates from overseas. He is an ideal emcee to have for any event with his strength in managing a high-level conference with the right mix of fun and formality.
~ Kenneth Chong, Chairman, Contact Centre Association of Singapore

WAYNE HOSTED THE FINALS OF OUR INAUGURAL TALENT COMPETITION, “Viral Voice” at Our Tampines Hub. With professional judges from the entertainment industry and a live audience of more than half a thousand people, we wanted to give the competition a ‘Singapore Idol’ feel, In spite of the technical challenges that a live broadcast sometimes presents, Wayne remained calm and not only entertained our audience, but also able to put all our finalists at ease whilst they were on stage before performing for public votes. We would definitely recommend Wayne for your next show, especially if it’s a local version of Ryan Seacrest you’re looking for!
~ Veronica Yong, Deputy Director, Communications & Marketing, Our Tampines Hub

It was a real pleasure to have Wayne as our Emcee at our 50th anniversary D&D! It was one of the highlights of the year to Hilti Far East as we have established a robust business in Singapore for 50 years already thanks to the highly engaged employees and customers. There were guests from different countries, different levels and different background joining us for a big celebration. In the beginning, we were also wondering how could we ensure it was fun, memorable yet serious and professional. But Wayne led the flow really well, and engaged all the audience for a wonderful evening with his sense of humour and charisma. Very well done Wayne! We will definitely consider you as our partner again in the upcoming events.
~ Sharon Ng, Head Of Human Resources, Hilti Singapore
