James Yang hosting on stage at a wedding, a guest laughing beside him

The room stays with you all night.

A bilingual emcee for weddings, dinner and dance, conferences and hybrid events in Singapore. I hold the pace, keep the run sheet on time, and make sure nobody in the room feels left out of the joke.

What I host

Five kinds of room, one job: keep it moving.

Each of these needs a different register. A wedding wants warmth, a D&D wants energy, a conference wants precision. The preparation is the same either way.

A wedding reception hosted by James Yang

Weddings

Bilingual hosting for the march-in, the speeches and the yum seng, run to your timeline so the banquet team is never waiting on you.

A company dinner and dance hosted by James Yang

Dinner and dance

Games that land with a room full of colleagues, prize segments that stay on schedule, and the energy held from the first course to the dance floor.

A corporate brand event hosted by James Yang

Corporate events

Product launches, award nights and annual functions, hosted in a register that matches your brand rather than fighting it.

Conferences and seminars

Introductions read correctly, panels kept to time, and technical material handed between speakers without the room losing the thread.

A virtual and hybrid event hosted by James Yang

Virtual and hybrid

Live streamed, green screen and hybrid formats, where the room and the people at home both need to be hosted at once.

A solemnisation hosted by James Yang

Solemnisations and ROMs

A shorter, quieter format that still needs someone holding it together, and knowing when to step back and let the moment sit.

How it works

By the time I am on stage, nothing is a surprise.

01

The brief

What the night is for, who is in the room, which language leads, and anything that must not be said.

02

The run sheet

We build the timeline together with your planner or banquet team, down to the minute where it matters.

03

The script

Names checked, titles checked, pronunciations checked. Written in both languages where the room needs it.

04

On the night

I arrive early, sound check, meet the key people, and then hold the room so you can be a guest at your own event.

Questions

Asked before most bookings.

How far in advance should I book?
For a wedding, most couples book six to twelve months ahead, because Saturdays in the peak months go first. Corporate dinner and dance season runs at the end and start of the year and those dates go early too. If your date is close, message anyway. Sometimes it is free.
Do you host in both English and Mandarin?
Yes. I host bilingually in English and Mandarin and switch live depending on who is in the room, rather than repeating every line twice. Tell me the mix of guests and which language should lead, and the script is written that way.
What does an emcee cost in Singapore?
It depends on the format, the length and how much preparation the programme needs. A wedding banquet, a full day conference and a two hour dinner and dance are different pieces of work. Send me the date and the outline and I will quote for the actual event rather than give you a range that means nothing.
Do you write the script and the run sheet?
Yes, together with you and your planner or banquet manager. Names, titles and pronunciations are checked before the day, and the timeline is built so the kitchen, the AV team and the programme all agree.
Do you travel for events outside Singapore?
Yes. I have hosted events overseas as well as in Singapore. Travel and accommodation are quoted separately and agreed before anything is confirmed.
Can you host virtual or hybrid events?
Yes. Live streamed, green screen and hybrid formats, where there is a room in front of you and an audience at home at the same time. Both need hosting, and they need it differently.
What happens if you fall ill on the day?
I have never missed an event, but the honest answer is that I keep a small group of emcees I trust and would arrange a replacement at my own cost, fully briefed with your run sheet and script, rather than leave you without a host.
