Shelly Horton

Shelly is a wonderful host, speaker and entertainer. We have not only used Shelly as part of our ongoing videos encouraging support for young people against anti-bullying, but also to host our film premiere event which sold out. Shelly came in prepared, kept the crowd laughing and when required, moved us emotionally. A true asset to any event.

I absolutely love working with Shelly – not only is she a hoot to work with, she brings with her so much fun, warmth and energy to our stage. If you’re looking for a professional MC with flare – Shelly is your woman!

Shelly Horton hosted the Newspaper of the Year Awards for the Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers’ Association (PANPA) in Sydney. She was outstanding in every respect. Her preparation for the evening was thorough and while on stage, Shelly was confident, creating fabulous rapport with the audience of editors and journalists. Any event organiser using Shelly will have an intelligent and gorgeous host who will make sure their evening is a fabulous success.

From the moment she stepped up to the mic, Shelly has the audience eating from the palm of her hand. She brought the razzle dazzle we needed to kick things off and set the tone for a special night. After the film she chaired a panel discussion with some of the world’s leading experts in mind body medicine without batting an eyelid and making the whole discussion informative yet fun at the same time. I don’t know anyone else who could have pulled that off like Shelly.

Shelly co-hosted the Piper Heidsieck Champagne Lunch with me as part of Audi Hamilton Island Race Week. She was well prepared and entertaining. We ran a fun game which involved audience participation and she spent time chatting to guests to make them feel special. There were lots of laughs. We immediately booked her for the event next year.

We loved having Shelly host our MWN Opinionator Events in 2015. Not only did she understand client’s needs and objectives and that every event was unique, she took the time to really get to know the brands and clients we were working with. Shelly spent many hours carefully crafting scripts and ensuring clients felt they really owned the event. She also engaged our readers and really made them feel as though they were part of something unique, intimate and special.

Shelly recently MC’d a Tourism WA launch event we held in Sydney and did a brilliant job for us. She was extremely professional to deal with and it was evident from the lines she delivered on the day that she’d spent time getting to know our product so she could speak authentically about it. Her friendly and entertaining presenting style lifted the event and we couldn’t have been happier with the result.

If you want conservative, inside-the-lines, and predictable, then Shelly is not your woman. If you want the consummate professional with an edge and a quick wit who can deliver lots of fun and engagement in spades, then hire Shelly. We adore working with her and look forward to many more opportunities to do so in the future!

Shelly was our MC for our Melbourne Cup lunch at CHISWICK and was an impressive host. Shelly is a true professional and is able to manage any room with confidence and style. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
