Shelly Horton hosted the 2010 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.
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.
Shelly Horton was an inspiring MC for our large scaled ‘Ladies Charity Luncheon' in 2011 for Variety Children's Charity. Shelly was able to motivate and capture the attention (and hearts) of over 200 guests. Shelly not only led our luncheon with candour and banter, but she also was extremely prepared and conducted her own due diligence around our charity's position and endeavours and was able to educate the group and motivate them into contributing to the live auction. Shelly brings with her a wealth of experience and confidence to her speaking opportunities and is extremely down to earth and professional from start to finish. We were very honoured to have her participate in our event.
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!
Our pharma conference finished off yesterday with a high. It was their first time running a hybrid state based meeting and as you can imagine nerves and tension were high. we have heard nothing but positive feedback, some even saying it’s the best one they have had. A quick note, Shelly was AMAZING!!!! Shelly was so detailed and so professional and she just made the night fun and entertaining and made the clients felt at ease. So down to earth and i will 100% recommend her to any of my future programs just by the way she handled herself on a professional note. Words cannot begin to explain how we felt about her really.
