We would highly recommend Kate and her team for their Day of Coordination and MC Services! Had our…read morewedding celebration in Westminster, and was satisfied with the quality and level of logistical support. Kate helped us navigate through cultural/familial expectations, provided recommendations to vendors in the area, was flexible with any last-minute changes, and kept us on time. We received positive feedback from our guests that she was full of energy, and kept the life of the celebration going. Here is a link to our highlights video, illustrating how smoothly everything went: https://youtu.be/HAUuKjOywmw

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!

We cannot say enough good things about April as our Coordinator and the support she provided.

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.

We are so thankful to have Jimmy as our MC for our wedding a few months back. Full disclosure, we…read morefirst experienced Jimmy as an MC back when he was hired for another friend's wedding and we felt he did an absolute amazing job. He was attentive, funny, lighthearted, and welcoming during the entirety of the wedding, and we just knew we wanted an individual such as that for our wedding. In the lead-up to our big day, JK's guidance was refreshing and invaluable. He gave experience, broke down details of our reception schedule, and provided ideas to personalize our reception that best fit the goals of our wedding. As a bonus he is fluent in Korean, so alot of our guests who don't necessarily speak english as their first language benefited from his translation during our reception. All our guests had such a great time, and he was such a natural during the event, a lot of our friends thought he was a member of our family haha. Without a doubt, JK is the person to book if you want a smooth event that feels inviting and fun for your attendees. Don't hesitate and reach out to JK for any event you have planned!
