Traditions done right, in Mandarin or Cantonese.
A wedding host fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese and English, who knows the traditions your parents expect and makes sure the Australian side of the room enjoys the night too.
Your grandparents should follow every moment. So should your colleagues.
A Chinese wedding in Sydney holds two rooms in one: family most at home in Mandarin or Cantonese, and friends, colleagues and in-laws who speak only English.
Our MCs reach both — and we always confirm whether you need Mandarin or Cantonese, because it matters.
Three hundred guests, two languages, one host.
A Mandarin and English wedding, 300 to 400 guests, both sides quiet, the run sheet slipping. The MC went to the tables — Mandarin at one, English at the next — put the microphone in front of guests, and told the same joke both ways so both sides laughed together.
By the end the room was one crowd. The couple's friends have since asked them for the MC.
Mandarin at one table, English at the next — until the room was one crowd.
Before a Mandarin or Cantonese host is put in front of you.
Mandarin or Cantonese — the right one
We confirm which your families speak, and match a host who is genuinely fluent in it.
Gets the traditions right
Tea ceremony, door games, table toasts, the parents' speeches — your MC goes through every one with you on the run sheet.
Brings the Australian side in
Key moments translated into English, a Western wedding game if you would like, and quick interviews with English-speaking guests.
Formal when it needs to be
Our Chinese-speaking hosts also run corporate events, so the formal register for a parents' toast is second nature.

What will an MC cost?
Every MC on your shortlist comes with a firm quote, plus GST. For an indicative range before you enquire, use our price calculator.
Do you have Cantonese-speaking MCs as well as Mandarin?
Yes, both. We confirm which your families speak, and can match a host for both in one room.
Will the MC host the tea ceremony and door games?
Yes. Whatever traditions you include, your MC prepares them with you on the run sheet.
Will our English-speaking guests feel left out?
No. The important moments are translated, and your MC engages them directly on the night.
Can the same MC host a wedding entirely in Mandarin or Cantonese?
Yes — the same hand-matching and the same standard of host.
How far ahead should we book?
Most couples book about a year ahead; lucky dates and popular Saturdays go first. The shortest turnaround we have filled was two weeks.
Do your Chinese-speaking MCs also do corporate events?
Yes — for Chinese-Australian businesses, investors and parent companies.
