Testimonials
Could you please pass on a HUGE THANK YOU to Emily-Jade
(or as my 18 year old son refers to her - EM-J).
She did a great job on saturday night and I hope she enjoyed herself. Let her know please that I am still trying to get the red wine out of my stupid husband's shirt ... the two of them were so funny.
Long story but if you ask her about the wine spitting comp she will fill you in on what a classy night it was.
Anyway, it was a fabulous night and largely due to the work of Emily-Jade.

It was a great pleasure to work with Emily-Jade at our recent BMW 3 series Coupe Launch. Emily-Jade exudes enthusiasm and style accompanied with a very professional attitude and approach to her work. We were very pleased she accepted the role of being master of ceremonies and our customers warmed to her presentation very quickly.
Her presence was a highlight at our event.

The 2006 Bachelor Auction saw Emily Jade as a wonderfully entertaining yet professional MC, who led QIMR’s fight against breast cancer. Through her wit and natural ability with a live audience, Emily Jade got guests behind the cause, making for a very successful event. Without her, the night would not have been as memorable. You should see the photos!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emily Jade to my colleagues and other clients at their events and I look forward to working with her again soon.

Emily Jade was the MC for a Hear and Say charity event that Red PR organised in November 2005. Emily was the perfect choice for that event - she was professional, entertaining, sassy, organised and not to mention just gorgeous! She was the icing on the cake and made our already great event, fantastic.
I would have no hesitation in recommending her to my clients for an array of other functions and I hope to be able to have her involved with our events again in the not too distant future.

Emily Jade was a perfect choice to host our Homewares Style Sessions at Westfield Carindale.
The brief was to find someone who everyone in Brisbane knows but can still relate to at a retail level …. they have to know their homewares and …. Shopping must be a past time!!!
Apart from being Brisbanes hottest young celebrity, Emily was a natural choice …. At home talking with our customers ….. at home shopping in a Westfield mall …. At home with a centre court crowd …… Emily Jade was a hit and just a pleasure to have on the team.
Her profile, her charisma, her charm was enough to captivate your average Westfield Carindale shopper. Her natural style in and out of the spotlight was a hit with the locals and most importantly turned into sales for the retailers.
Our advice ….. If you have an opportunity that requires an all round natural … Emily Jade is your girl!!!
