LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

I’m Marney … and what LIGHTS ME UP is any opportunity to CELEBRATE PEOPLE.

Whether it be at a wedding (I can legally marry you, AND help you make your wedding reception really FIRE), at a party (I grew up in a family of speechmakers, our speeches at Christmas get scored out of ten!), a funeral, or in a live Cabaret Show (I have performed solo shows at most major comedy festivals around the world), or at a corporate event that needs a bit of sparkle, I know how to BRING THE GOOD VIBES and get the BEST out of people!

I relish any excuse to celebrate LIFE!

RECEPTION EMCEE

Whether it's an epic three-day loveathon, or a short and sweet ceremony, I'm in! I specialise in simple but fabulous ceremonies, with equal amounts of humour and heart, with some fun crowd participation and banter.

I am very engaged with my couples and like to really get to know them before the big day.

I can also MC your reception! Let’s face it, asking a guest to stick to the run sheet is hard work (especially after 17 champagnes). As your MC I work with everyone (caterer, venue, photographer, videographer, Aunty Mary) to make sure the whole reception runs smoothly. So you can just chill and enjoy the day, and let the professionals do their job.

“We had SOOOOOO many people comment on how fabulous you were, and how it was the best ceremony they’d seen!! Thank you for being a superstar celebrant, MC and for singing for us for our first dance, you were absolutely incredible!” - Simone and Kallina

PUBLICAN

I played Marion in the original stage production of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and now, I have actually become her in real life!

My husband Frank and I own the Royal Hotel Wyong, a pub on the NSW Central Coast… he pours the beers and I host our sell out Cabaret nights in the back-bar. We've completely refurbished this classic community pub, and we are proud of the warm and friendly place it is to meet friends, have a scrumptious pub meal and enjoy an endless line up of great entertainment, from local bands, budding artists, blues sessions, cabaret shows, and of course, your very own showgirl publican - me!

CORPORATE +
EVENTS EMCEE

With my background in professional theatre (Priscilla, Hairspray, Dreamlover) and stand up comedy (London, New York, Edinburgh Festival, Melbourne Comedy Festival), I am very comfortable in front of a crowd and I know all the tricks to help your event and your guests stay engaged and entertained. From fundraisers to corporate functions and annual celebrations, investing in the right emcee sets the stage for a successful experience that connects your guests to your mission. I’ll use my years of stand-up comedy, speaking, and theatre to connect and bring the audience on a journey – your event.
