I’m Marnie Nash
MC & Host
The glittery glue that
holds your event together.
You’ve invested everything
getting them here:
Venue. Speakers. Production. Catering. Marketing.
Your time’s too precious to waste it apologising for the WiFi, or pointing people to the loo.
That’s why you hire me.
Anyone can hold a mic.
Holding the room is a whole different energy.
I run the room whilst you work it.
You get to be the person they came to see, having the conversations that actually move your business forward, meeting the client you’ve been manifesting for months, and spotting the partnership that’s standing right there, glass in hand, waiting for you to walk over.
The last thing you want is your future biggest client messaging you the next day saying “sorry we didn’t get to connect, next time.”
And you missed it cos you were resetting the projector.
Don’t you know who I am?
When you tell the room you’re an award-winning, all-round cat’s pyjamas, it sounds like bragging. When I say it, the room will whoop, holler and cheer you to the stage.
I champion your speakers, promote your offers, and direct everyone to the table where you’re answering questions, signing your new book, or having the conversations that close deals.
Every reminder sounds like a recommendation.
When I introduce you, it gives a gravitas you can’t give yourself.
No one feels like the new kid: In every room of 100 there are at least 20 shy ones who came with best intentions of mingling, but will leave without speaking to anyone unless invited. I invite them in.
The wobbles stay invisible: at one recent event, a speaker was still in traffic 5 minutes before their scheduled slot. The client was panicking, the speaker was beside themselves, and I held the space, engaging the room – giving them both time to compose and carry on. No one was any the wiser.
I curate spaces humming with human connection that no screen can replicate: with an MA in Performance Making, more than a decade of creating immersive, participatory theatre and hundreds of hours hosting, I bring energy, rigour and innovative ideas to events, conferences and summits, designing rooms where people actually connect.
How it works
We talk
A consultation where I learn your event inside out. Your speakers, your audience, your purpose, what you need the room to feel like.
I host
I run the stage, read the room, explain the format, intro speakers, manage the energy, and handle everything the audience should never have to think about.
You get the gold
Whilst everyone’s still buzzing, I capturing voxpops of real voices – what landed, what they loved, and their take-aways – with energy no feedback form can hope to convey.
You walk away with proof of impact you can:
⟫ use for your marketing
⟫ share with your board
⟫ take straight into planning the next one
“Marnie is a star with witty charm and no-nonsense charisma.
Any of us would be lucky to be in her class, at her party or on her board.
Because we would learn a lot, enjoy ourselves and simply get things done better, under her watchful eye and direction.”
Sir Ian McKellen, Actor
