Entertaining. Engaging. Emcee.

Creating Exceptional Live Experiences & Helping Brands Shine.

Your event reflects your brand. Hiring the right emcee can transform a good event into an engaging, impactful and unforgettable experience.

As one of Vancouver’s most in-demand emcees, I’ve had the honour of bringing life, connection and laughter to help hundreds of events stand out for clients including:

Team Canada, BC Tech, BMW, RE/MAX, CPHR BC & Yukon, Prospera Credit Union, The Georgie Awards, BOMEX Canada, BCIT, Great Canadian Entertainment and Make-A-Wish. 

✔️ Corporate events
✔️ Conferences
✔️ Award shows
✔️ Galas
✔️ Large-scale festivals

Offering a desirable combination of emcee and entertainment, I specialize in creating an atmosphere that’s full of energy, joy and laughter.

Months before hitting the stage, I work with clients to craft an experience and create original content - designed for your audience - to help your event stand out from all the others.

With two decades in the industry, I’ve honed the craft of bringing people together and understanding audiences to help guests connect with your programming…and each other!

I’d love to help make your next important event shine!

When people get together, that shared experience should be unique, meaningful, and leave a lasting impression.

“Kevin’s attention to detail, creativity and professionalism made him a gem to deal with. His ability to connect with the crowd, command their attention and engage them to deliver an elevated experience was impressive. Even with our high expectations he knocked it out of the park and we look forward to working with him again next year!”
— Jill Tipping CEO, BC Tech Association

Your All-In-One Event Partner

Not your typical emcee.

Does your emcee just show up on event day, or do they fully show up for you?

Beyond breathing life into your event on the big day, I can uniquely contribute to your success with a full range of services and added value as:

  1. Your Event Emcee

  2. Your Run-of-Show & Creative Consultant

  3. Your In-Show Entertainment

  4. Your On-Camera Video Talent/Red Carpet Interviewer

My business proudly thrives on referrals, audience invites, and repeat clients - often getting asked to return by event planners immediately after I step off the stage!

My main principles: Forming strong bonds with clients based on trust, using creativity to connect with audiences, and a strong commitment to ensuring guests feel valued and enthusiastic about your event.

“So engaging and funny! Many guests told me he was by far their favourite MC yet.

I would work with Kevin again in a heartbeat, and highly recommend him for events of any kind where you want to wow your audience and ensure they smile and laugh.

If you are looking to elevate your brand by providing an exceptional experience for your guests, Kevin is the guy to do it.”

CLIENT SHOWCASE: 2024 GEORGIE AWARDS

MY 360° Involvement:

“Golden Ticket Giveaway”

When you're hosting a Willy Wonka-themed industry award show, finding a creative way to tie in golden tickets was both delicious and exciting...taking the show off from the stage and all around the audience.

“An Unforgettable CEO Intro”

When your event falls during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, you bring the playoffs magic to them.

(with a little help from my background as a voice over artist)

“It was a pleasure working with you on this year’s 2024 Georgie Awards. You were an absolute dream! Your attention to detail, creative ideas, happy demeanour, take charge and caring personality was a breath of fresh air.

I have worked with many people in this industry and found your attitude and devotion to your craft went far above my expectations…and I’ve been told I have high expectations!

Your delivery, punctuality and level of professionalism was very much appreciated whether it was voiceovers, meetings or event day assignments.

Thank you for helping me create a new energy in the room this year and I would be delighted to work with you again in the near future. Keep up the great work!”

Imagine YOUR Audience Having This. Much. Fun.

CONFERENCE SHOWCASE: 2024 CPHR BC & YUKON

“With Kevin at the helm, your event is guaranteed to dazzle and delight, leaving a lasting impression on both your audience and your organization.”

“Kevin was the shining star of our organization's 61st annual conference in Vancouver, to a group of over 1,500 participants. His presence transformed an already successful event into an unforgettable experience.

Audience feedback spoke volumes; while past years have seen praise for keynote speakers, this time the resounding demand was for Kevin's return as emcee. And I couldn't agree more!

Kevin's infectious energy, wit, and charm lit up the stage throughout the event, but his impact was felt long before the spotlight hit. His pre-event brainstorming sessions were a treasure trove of innovative ideas, and his genuine enthusiasm made collaboration an absolute joy.

Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to any organization seeking a top-tier emcee/host. With Kevin at the helm, your event is guaranteed to dazzle and delight, leaving a lasting impression on both your audience and your organization.”

-Jessica Ng, Conference Manager | CPHR BC & Yukon

BECAUSE WORK CONFERENCES SHOULDN’T FEEL LIKE “WORK”

My vision: to transform the traditional work conference into a 2-day escape for these hard-working HR professionals. To fill it with ENERGY and LAUGHTER, creating deeper connections to the organization, its programming…and each other.

Welcome to “CAMP CPHR”

We had so much fun, it brought down the house.

Through interactive, original content developed specifically for this audience, attendees were not just spectators…they were the stars.

I even hand-made friendship bracelets for audience members as a keepsake

Which I then used as a vehicle to create even more unforgettable moments through Day 1 and Day 2 for audience members like…

Surprise ‘Premium VIP Seat’ upgrades for lucky audience members

Complete with refreshments, snacks and comfy seats for keynote sessions…which created entertainment and experiential value - at no extra cost to the organization!

Using months of highly-detailed research on the audience to understand their mindset and bond with them.

Interviews with professionals, past-attendees, and staff, plus pre-event keynote discovery calls to set them up for success.

Even “housekeeping” was developed into creative entertainment that earned a huge ovation.

(If you zoom in on the audience faces, you’ll see their delighted reaction to “AI Kevin” doing the housekeeping after the AI keynote speaker)

THE RESULT:

Sample of official post-event attendee survey comments:

“The emcee was AMAZING! Kevin was so engaging and INTERACTIVE with the audience, making what could have very well been a flat-feeling event more LIVELY. He had a genuine interest in meeting audience members and showed incredible appreciation for the work we do. If he doesn’t come back next year, I think a lot of people will be SORELY disappointed!!”

“Kevin Lim was the best MC this conference has ever had in all the years I’ve attended. BRING HIM BACK! :)”

“Kevin Lim’s work as an MC was great - he was funny and engaging, and I looked forward to every time he took the stage.”

“Kevin Lim is the best MC that the conference has hired in many years. He was very engaging and took time to understand CPHR and HR Professionals.”

“As an event professional, I was impressed with Kevin’s commitment to understand our audience, connect with our mission and create truly memorable moments in the live show - from tears to laughter!!

I had a wonderful time working with Kevin behind the scenes and highly recommend him as an event emcee. Well done!!”

— Erika Borgerson, VP Marketing | BC Tech Association

“What sets Kevin apart is his genuine investment in the success of your event, ensuring that it becomes a wonderful experience for everyone involved.”

— Taryn Stephenson, Lead Event Organizer | RCMP Musical Ride

What Makes Me Different?

20 Years of Experience

I understand what it takes to connect with an audience, make them feel valued and make an event unforgettable.

I’ve had the honour of entertaining tens of thousands of guests with hundreds of events under my belt; I know how to bring your crowd to life and keep their energy up throughout, ensuring audiences are engaged and laughing from start to finish.

And if things don't go as planned, no worries! I’m a skilled improviser who can keep things entertaining no matter what surprises pop up, keeping your event running smoothly.

I can help transform an ordinary event into an extraordinary one, by creating an experience that’s impactful, authentic and filled with joy.

I Become a Partner in Your Event

I’m not your average emcee who will show up on event night and read off a script. I’m truly invested in the success of your event so I'll work closely with you and your team to understand your vision and help make it a reality - from the planning process to event night.

When you work with me, you gain a collaborative partner who’s there for you to offer creative ideas and consultation on perfecting your run-of-show, with an experienced eye to audience energy and engagement from start to finish to deliver the best possible experience.

I love brainstorming original content ideas with clients and watching their eyes light up when they see the potential to elevate the impression they make on their guests.

Fresh, Fun and Creative Content

It’s my job to make sure your event stands out.

With my background as an award-winning nationally-syndicated morning radio host, my specialty lies in thinking outside the box to create target-demo content and unforgettable moments.

I’ve become known for generating creative and entertaining ideas that attendees don’t see at other events, creating a special “must-attend” relationship with your audience.

I offer everything from interactive stage games tailored to your event, to memorable speaker intros and even applying my skills as a professional voice actor to create live movie trailers…starring members of your audience!

ON-CAMERA HOSTING

If you’re looking to enhance your event by having a hosted event recap, pre-event promos, red carpet coverage or create entertaining audience content all around your guests within your show, I can do that too!

With a 20-year award-winning broadcast career hosting for national brands like Breakfast Television and City TV, I’ve spent a lot of time becoming fluent in both on-stage and on-camera skillsets.

Outside the events realm, if your company is looking for a trusted, recognizable personality to be the host of your branded videos, I’d love to work with you!

Whether it’s scripted or unscripted, I can help you create something engaging and memorable that enhances your brand’s presence.
