Ep 112 Leveraging your event emcee and secrets from cruise ship decks below, with Nathan Cassar Part 1

Upon Arrival | Events & Incentives with Adelaine Ng

Could your next emcee be the ultimate secret weapon to unlocking the untapped potential of your events? Imagine a captivating force that goes beyond mere introductions and announcements, delving deep into the layer of genuine connections and unforgettable moments from the moment your attendees walk through your event door. It's a game-changer that transforms ordinary events into extraordinary experiences.
Nathan Cassar challenges us to expect more from our emcees by peeling back the curtain on the cruise industry, revealing its commitment to a great guest experience and also its secret, quirky world - ever heard of a noodle black market on a ship?
Based in Sydney, Australia, Nathan's rich experience has included being a Cruise Director for Princess Cruises, emceeing wedding receptions and leading major awards evening galas. His own awards have included Best Wedding MC by the Wedding Industry Awards (Western Sydney) 2023 & 2022 and Most Entertaining MC (NSW) - Lux-Life Global Excellence Awards 2022.
Quotes from this episode:
"It's about showing people that guest connection is number one, and it's something that I see being lost in so many opportunities throughout the year".
"What really makes people's memories come to life in relation to a past event in their life is something that allowed them to feel really connected to the experience."
