We had our destination wedding in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and having Maison Mimosa Event be part…read moreof our wedding in Europe was one of the best decisions we made!
Planning a wedding overseas can be stressful, but working with Chester and his team made everything feel so much easier. They helped us with the planning, hosting, coordination, timeline, and communication throughout the entire process. Everything was professional, organized, flexible, and very easy to work with.
Chester was an amazing international MC and host. We initially hired him because we were impressed by his portfolio of luxury weddings, corporate events, and international expos. My wife and I both come from corporate backgrounds, and we had important guests attending, including our bosses and colleagues from companies such as Airbus and PwC in Europe. We wanted an international MC who could be fun and engaging while still having the professionalism and authority to host this type of crowd, and Chester was exactly what we were looking for.
We had 200 guests coming from all around the world, including Hong Kong, the US, the Netherlands, and different parts of Europe. We really appreciated how Chester was able to connect everyone and bring such an international group together. It truly made the celebration feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially knowing this might be one of the only times in our lives when so many of our favorite people from around the world could all be together in one place.
Throughout the reception, Chester knew exactly how to keep everything flowing naturally, engage with our guests, and create a fun atmosphere without ever making it feel forced. Even more impressively, he transitioned between English, Cantonese, and Mandarin so naturally. With family and friends from so many different places and backgrounds, that made a huge difference.
We also had a few unexpected challenges during the reception. The hotel had a policy that did not allow us to run activities while meals were being served, and there were also a few mistakes and timing issues from the venue side. Chester handled everything extremely professionally. He adjusted the program on the spot, communicated with the hotel, covered the gaps, and kept our guests entertained without making the problems obvious. As the bride and groom, we really appreciated this because we could simply enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about everything happening behind the scenes.
My wife also has a very high standard when it comes to vocals and live performance because she loves singing in church, and even she was impressed by Chester! His voice and presence are honestly even better in person than in his videos. He has a natural charisma on the microphone that carried beautifully from our church ceremony into the reception and helped connect the entire celebration.
We would absolutely recommend Maison Mimosa Event to anyone planning a destination wedding--not only couples in the US, but especially those getting married in Europe or overseas. Having an experienced international MC and destination wedding company that is comfortable with international travel and multicultural events gave us so much peace of mind.
We were also impressed by how well-traveled Chester is and how comfortable he is working internationally. I know he used to host a travel YouTube channel and radio show, so I guess that helps too hahaha!
Thank you Chester and Maison Mimosa for being part of our big day and for coming all the way to Europe for our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
