About Chanel Olive

Corporate, Wedding & Event MC (Master of Ceremonies) • Media Presenter • Keynote & TEDx Speaker

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 is more than a role — it’s a passion. I care deeply about bringing your vision to life and creating meaningful, lasting moments. Every event is unique, and it’s an honour to support you in making your occasion everything you’ve dreamed of and more.

I host a wide range of events including corporate events, conferences, launches, awards, galas, charity events, community events, private events, and weddings ensuring each one is delivered with excellence and intention. I provide on-the-day coordination and media presenting with experience hosting a TV show, presenting for a TV commercial, and providing voice-over for radio advertisements. I also deliver keynote talks and workshops, drawing on my background in counselling, professional speaking, experience as a former beauty queen, and my personal story to inspire, empower, and equip audiences.

With over half a decade of experience, starting my career in the Philippines, I’ve worked with clients and venues including Queen Victoria Market, Crown Melbourne, Marvel Stadium, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC), National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Eureka 89, Victoria University, The Trust Melbourne, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Greater Dandenong Council, and Marnong Estate ensuring every event is well-run, seamless, and memorable.
