Compere and Host for Events

"With all events, you rely on your entertainer to pull of that special job to ensure all your guests have a great night. Steve certainly did that for us at the Tynedale Business Awards at Langley Castle. He is a natural entertainer, and has the ability to judge the mood of the audience in seconds. As with all events, the success is judged by those who attend. To date, the feedback we've had on Steve's performance has been excellent. He worked with ease, and ensured everyone had a good laugh! I would without question recommend Steve to anyone organising an event."
"It was great to see you Steve - fantastic voice too! Thanks for being such a great co-host. Have a great Xmas"

"Steve warmed the room up brilliantly with some excellent comedy and then became the true professional when the awards ceremony started bringing a real sense of gravitas to the occasion. He finished with some well-known numbers that got everyone singing along and a great night was had by all."

“Hi Steve, I just wanted to say what a fantastic job you did at the Barnsley Hospice fundraising ball. Throughout the evening you kept us all entertained with some hilarious jokes, and some great singing! Overall, through your excellent compering of the event, you greatly contributed to what was a fantastic night.”
"Steve Walls entertained at the opening event at The Vermont Hotel in Newcastle. He gave a great performance in making everyone feel at ease and welcomed. He then regaled us with a repertoire of songs spanning the decades. A cool, relaxed entertainer who would successfully grace any occasion"

“Steve hosted our internal awards ceremony and wowed the guests. His professional and personable approach shone through from the briefing meetings before the event to the night itself. I was particularly impressed with how well he engaged the audience and created a great atmosphere in the room. He worked hard to make our event very special and even sang (brilliantly!) during dinner. Thanks Steve!”
What is a Compere's role, and do we need one at our Event?The answer to that is very simple, yes!A Compere sets the tone and atmosphere for the evening in his first few sentences. A Compere should be someone you warm to. He should be friendly, likeable and approachable, while maintaining an air of authority. He should, if needed, be able to cover any of the inevitable glitches that arise during an Event.Say the band has a problem just before they are due to start, or a guest speaker has disappeared, or the raffle / auction prizes haven't been prepared. These things always happen at Events.The chances are, that if you have a good Compere, you will never know that there were any problems or heart stopping moments behind the scenes!Quite often, a Compere is overlooked till the last moment, and yet, a bad one, or one of very little experience can kill an event stone dead.
