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.

When I first started wedding planning about 9-10 months ago, we wanted an Asian American wedding…read morewith a modern twist and a western reception with subtle Asian elements. My husband and I are Chinese Vietnamese Americans and we wanted our wedding to be modern in addition to honoring both our parents/families, Asian heritage and culture. We found My Wedding Songbird and immediately matched with Sarah. We are so lucky to work with Sarah (she is very experienced and well versed in Asian cultural weddings); Sarah made the whole process organized and actually enjoyable. As my wedding planner and coordinator, she was with me every step of the way. She helped us find great vendors to work with (DJ, tea ceremony host, trilingual MC, videographer, linens, and stationery) and was respectful of our wedding budget. Sarah genuinely wants her clients to have the wedding of their dreams and she and MWS team definitely delivers! We chose Sarah and MWS because they matched what we were looking for: honoring our Asian heritage by offering tea ceremony package and being well versed in Chinese wedding traditions, and introducing us to an entertaining MC/host who was both fluent in English, Cantonese, and Vietnamese! And if you know you know, these Asian MCs are must have entertainers during a wedding reception! Aside from the best vendors Sarah brought to our wedding, Sarah was also our coordinator and our wedding day was seamless and organized. Sarah and MWS team took care of everything behind the scenes which allowed for my husband and I to truly enjoy our wedding day to the fullest. We are both very happy with the wedding outcome. To note, we chose the partial package of the wedding planning because we wanted to have some control; we did not feel like the services provided was insufficient. Sarah makes an effort to get to know your vision during the wedding planning process regardless. But if you don't have the time to plan, trust in the process and trust me, you'll be in good hands. Sarah will definitely take care of you! Our wedding day was executed so well that we still get compliments on how enjoyable our wedding day was!

Especially since we were able to start dinner on time and not 2 hours late (which can be common in Chinese receptions...).

Will definitely be hiring them again for my next occasion. Thank you also to the owner Ivan for being so courteous and professional!

Our experience started when I reached out to Jimmy around February 2026 about having our wedding…read morethat July. We knew it was a short timeline, but Jimmy was incredibly accommodating and immediately made us feel like they would be happy to work with us. At that point, the only thing we had selected was our venue. Other than that, we honestly had no idea where to begin, what needed to be done, or which vendors to choose. Just thinking about everything involved was overwhelming and stressful. After we officially began working with JK Wedding Events, Jimmy, the founder, introduced us to our wedding coordinator, April Lee. Because of the short timeline, my wife and I felt extremely rushed and were constantly thinking, "How are we going to get all of this done?" But Jimmy and April continually reassured us that everything would be okay--and they were right. What we appreciated most was that they never made us feel pressured or bossed around. Instead, they guided us with the heart of a teacher. They patiently walked alongside us, explained what needed to happen, and helped us make decisions throughout the entire process. That was exactly what we were looking for. They helped us navigate practically every major vendor decision, including photography and videography, hair and makeup, catering, flowers, draping, tableware rentals, our wedding cake, and even recommendations for wedding dresses and tuxedos. Honestly, if my wife and I had tried to research and coordinate all of those vendors by ourselves, it probably would have caused so many headaches and arguments that we might not have had a wedding at all! Of course, planning any wedding will come with some ups and downs, but JK Wedding Events minimized the stress as much as anyone possibly could. When our wedding day finally arrived in July 2026, everything was on point. All of the vendors understood the plan, everything was executed smoothly, and April did an amazing job keeping the day on schedule and making sure everything continued flowing without any issues. Jimmy also served as our MC and DJ during the reception, and he was fantastic! He kept our guests engaged, entertained, and laughing while maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout the night. His music selections kept everyone enjoying the vibe and made the celebration even more memorable. It has now been about a month since our wedding, and I am finally catching up and writing this review because JK Wedding Events absolutely deserves the recognition. Whether you need help planning your wedding from the very beginning, finding a venue, selecting vendors, or coordinating any other part of the process, I highly recommend reaching out to Jimmy and the JK Wedding Events team. They will take a tremendous amount of pressure off you during what can otherwise be a very stressful process. Thank you again to Jimmy, April, and the entire JK Wedding Events team for helping make our wedding such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended--10 out of 10!

Our wedding went just as we imagined it and so much of it was thanks to Jimmy and his team! With his experience, he was able to make anything we could think of happen, no hesitation.
