-Murdoch Magazines

Thank you for MC’ing at our opening night dinner, and for making the event an outstanding success. Not only did you have the entire audience howling with laughter on the night, your experience, professionalism and guidance in the lead up to the event were invaluable to the committee. We especially loved the way you thoroughly researched our industry before the night, and wove your understanding and insights into the performance. It was a rousing, hilarious and highly relevant kickstart to our conference.

-IPSOS Australia

Right from the get go, Rachel put us at ease with her knowledge and advice of how to deliver a great event. She worked with us on our running order, room set up and tone of the evening and her wealth of experience was critical to the event’s success. On the night, Rachel dazzled and had our guests hooked within moments. She MC’d the event with a deft touch, displaying an emotional range that could be raw and honest one moment and achingly acerbic and funny the next. She improvised when necessary and above all looked like she was enjoying herself as much as everybody else in the room but never lost her professionalism or timing. Our guests couldn’t wait to tell us how amazing Rachel was. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Rachel for her considerable skills and can’t wait to have her back again.

It is the offbeat observation, the incisive knack of showing up everyday events for the ludicrous pantomimes they really are that separate the women from the girls. In this department Rachel Berger is a real Star...
