Kate and Joey were a fantastic MC/DJ team for our wedding! We had seen them in action at a previous…read morewedding and knew she was what we needed for our own. She is so seamless in her transitions between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English and we love that her fun personality kept everyone engaged throughout the evening! You can tell Kate is incredibly experienced by how flexible she is with any hiccups. There was a brief mix up with our first dance song, and she was such a professional with pivoting to speeches first and making a great transition back into the first dance. She was also so sweet and nice during our planning call, and really made us feel comfortable because she understands all these family dynamics and really helped us feel grounded leading up to the wedding. If you are in need of bilingual MC services, Kate is 100% the best!

We booked Kate in 2019 after seeing her at a friend's wedding. As soon as we saw her singing and…read moredoing introductions in Cantonese and English, we knew we wanted to book her for our own wedding in 2020. Then pandemic happened and we kept postponing. Kate was so understanding and waited until we were officially ready to have our celebration. Fast forward to 2022, we finally held our wedding. Kate was perfect! She performed as guests were entering the ballroom and she understood the assignment! We had beauty and beast inspired centerpieces and she sang Tale as Old as Time as everyone were finding their seats. Swoon! She was so professional in providing the Cantonese and English translation for our guests. We received many compliments from friends stating how amazing she was. She kept the crowd entertained and involved with everything going on. We could not have picked a better MC for our night. If you're in need of a MC to cater to Chinese speaking family and guests, we definitely recommend Kate.

The variations from Mariachi tradition added some fun spice to their set that made us sit up and pay attention. Great sound. Great sound. Will call them out for my next party.

Días después, me dijeron que cometieron un error y que la fecha ya no estaba disponible. Esto me dejó buscando reemplazo a última hora.

English: I trusted this band after they confirmed my event date was secured. I even followed up, and they reassured me it was reserved. Days later, they told me they made a mistake and the date was no longer available. This left me scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute. Communication was poor, and I didn't feel they took accountability for the inconvenience caused. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for dependable service. Your event deserves better.

Ms. Jessica is warm, kind, and encouraging, and she made learning music fun and enjoyable for my other son. He always looked forward to his lessons with her. We're taking a break for now because of our boys' busy school and extracurricular schedules, but we're truly grateful for the wonderful experience they had here. We would definitely recommend this school and both teachers to other families!

We strongly recommend PMA!
