Are you looking for an MC/Host for an Event, Wedding, or Media in Melbourne, Australia or Manila, Philippines?
About the MC/Host
Chanel Olive
I am a professionally trained MC/Host based in Melbourne, Australia and Manila, Philippines with over half a decade of experience. Known for my warm and positive presence, I bring elegance and a welcoming atmosphere to every event—bridging cultures and adapting gracefully to any unexpected changes.
Hosting, for me, goes far beyond simply fulfilling a role—I’m genuinely passionate about what I do. I care deeply about bringing your vision to life and creating meaningful, lasting moments. Every event is unique, and it’s an honour to serve, support, and help make your occasion everything you’ve dreamed of and more.
With experience across weddings, events, and media, I’ve been grateful to work with a wide range of clients in both Australia and the Philippines. In the Philippines, I’ve had the privilege of working with respected clients such as Binibining Pilipinas, TV5 Network, PLDT, ABS-CBN, SM Markets, GMA, and David’s Salon.
I’m truly privileged to have worked with a variety of wonderful clients and venues here in Australia, and I’m grateful to be a preferred vendor for several.
These experiences have shaped my approach as a Master of Ceremonies and inspired me to offer On-the-Day Coordination as part of my services, if needed—a role I stepped into after recognising a real need for it through hands-on experience. From the early planning stages, I work closely with clients to create a personalised run sheet, followed by a bespoke script. On the day itself, I manage all formalities, including On-the-Day Coordination if needed, adapt to any last-minute changes, and ensure everything flows smoothly and stays on schedule.
Whether I’m engaging the audience, guiding the program, or supporting behind the scenes, my focus is always on delivering a seamless, elegant, and memorable experience for you and your guests.
Below are some of the highlights from my work in Melbourne:
