The 5 Best Emcees in Malaysia for Every Event and Crowd
Now, if you’ve got an event coming up, the last thing you want is awkward silence after someone with a mic kicks things off with, “Are you all alright? No? You’re all all left…” Yeah—not exactly the kind of mic drop anyone asked for.
To save you from that cringe-worthy moment (and a potentially restless crowd). Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate gig, or a chill party, we’ve reviewed the best emcees in Malaysia who actually know how to work a room.
How much does it cost to hire an emcee in Malaysia?
The cost to hire an emcee in Malaysia usually ranges from RM500 to RM5,000, depending on the emcee’s experiences, event type and size, and duration. Premium emcees or bilingual hosts may charge more.
1. Emcee Jason
Address: T925, 3rd Floor, 1Borneo, Jalan Sulaman, 88450 Kota Kinabalu
Phone: +60 12-558 2580
Business hours: 24/7
We love how Emcee Jason knows how to run a room. One minute, he’s on stage at a polished corporate launch; the next, he’s hyping up a crowd at a festival or esports event.
We weren’t surprised to find that he has done over a thousand events working with hundreds of brands, from big corporations to government-related gigs! That kind of track record doesn’t come from luck—it’s clear he delivers every time (we certainly enjoyed his quick-witted hosting!).
One thing that stands out is that he’s equally fluent in Bahasa Malaysia and English and knows exactly how to adjust his tone depending on the crowd.
What’s cool is he doesn’t rely on flash or a rigid plan. He actually puts in the work, goes through scripts, checks event flows, and makes sure everything lines up. But when he’s up on stage, it feels effortless and spontaneous.
Bonus points: he’s HRD Corp-certified and a DSD-level coach, so he’s also great at workshops and corporate sessions—not just emceeing, but leading a crowd.
Just note that he’s in high demand and regularly books out fast, especially during peak seasons. If you’re keen to get him, best to lock in a date early.
Definitely a crowd-pleaser
“On behalf of my team, I would like to sincerely thank you for your entertaining presence on Thursday evening. We received so many positive feedbacks. It was a night to remember and you’re definitely a crowd-pleaser. A pleasure to be working together with you, efficient, entertaining and lively! Hope to be working with you again sometime in the future.”

2. Emcee Voon MC KL Malaysia
Phone: +60 12-903 7660
Business hours: 24/7
If you’re after someone who can host in multiple languages without feeling forced, Voon’s worth looking into. He weaves between Mandarin, Cantonese, BM, and English like it’s second nature, which comes handy when your guest list is a real mix.
He’s been around the scene for over a decade, covering everything from weddings to launches and even mall events. You can tell he’s done this a lot, given how he knows when to turn on the charm, when to slow things down, and when to keep things moving.
And here’s a nice surprise—he sings. Plays guitar too. So sometimes he’ll throw in a live performance during an event, which gives things a personal touch without needing extra entertainment.
While his portfolio is mostly weddings and corporate gigs, it’s worth checking in if your event is something less typical.
Nonetheless, we can’t deny that Voon’s someone you can count on to run the show smoothly, with just the right amount of personality and musical touch.
Catering to our mixed culture wedding reception

Handles many scenarios and situations

3. Jerry Wong Professional Emcee
Address: Serves Malaysia
Phone: +60162022528
Business hours: 24/7
Jerry Wong is fluent in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Hokkien, which is beneficial at weddings or dinners where guests come from all kinds of backgrounds.
One thing that caught our attention is his experience leading traditional tea ceremonies. It’s not just that he knows what to say—he understands the rhythm of it. He keeps the atmosphere respectful but not stiff.
We like how he’s hands-on during the prep, too. Couples and planners we spoke to mentioned that he’s big on ironing out timelines in advance and flagging things that might slow the program down. On the day of, he keeps things flowing without making it feel rushed.
The clients we chatted with also say he’s warm, funny, and engaging, but never overbearing. He maintains the energy without turning the spotlight on himself.
The catch? We found that most of his work seems tailored toward weddings and formal events. For more laid-back or niche events, hiring him might feel like overkill.
Regardless, we believe that Jerry Wong delivers, especially if you want someone reliable, culturally in tune, and genuinely pleasant to work with.
Wonderful and very reliable emcee
“Wonderful and very reliable emcee, had really helped a lot on our wedding dinner timing and boost up the atmosphere/mood of the guests.”
-Janice Foo, Recommend Review
Very professional and responsible
“I hired Jerry for my morning tea ceremony and wedding emcee, he is very professional and responsible guy. It was a very memorable day for me and I could have ask for nothing more from the experience i have gotten from hiring Jerry Wong. Jerry hosted my wedding like a boss, he was also a very funny with some jokes in between to lighten up my crowd….”

4. Emcee Ren – Malaysia’s Versatile Host
Address: No. 14, Block B, Jalan Semarak Api 2, Diamond Square, 53000 Kuala Lumpur
Phone: +60 11-1187 1787
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: 9 AM – 10 PM
Ren’s one of those emcees you can throw into just about any setting and trust he’ll handle it. Formal government event? He keeps it tight and composed. Outdoor roadshow with a loud crowd? He knows how to work the mic and pull people in.
He’s done gigs for big names like Petronas, Proton, Panasonic, and Honda, so he’s clearly no stranger to high-stakes corporate setups. In the KL circuit, especially, he’s built up a solid reputation as someone who shows up prepared and handles business professionally.
We also appreciate how hands-on he is before the event. He gets involved early, runs through the flow, fine-tunes the content, and checks in on audience engagement ideas.
Now, on the money side, he does charge a bit more than some others. You’re looking at around RM1,500 for weddings, and RM1,800 to RM2,000 for corporate stuff.
But hey, given his reputation and track record with diverse clients, Ren is a reliable emcee.
Very professional and flexible
“Emcee Ren is a very professional and flexible emcee, with excellent command of Malay and English. We will definitely work together again in the future!”

5. Oliver Kwan
Address: Serves Malaysia
Phone: +6012-93 55155
Business hours: 24/7
Oliver Kwan built a career that spans weddings and corporate gigs not just in Malaysia, but in places like Australia and across Asia, giving him a certain polish that’s hard to fake.
He’s fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and BM, so if your crowd’s a mixed bag, he can connect with just about everyone in the room.
We’ve also seen his name attached to events at Grand Hyatt KL and Shangri-La, and even some involving national leaders and international brands. So when it comes to prestige and presentation, he knows how to rise to the occasion.
Style-wise, he’s got a good balance—structured when it matters, but never stiff. He knows when to keep things moving and when to slow down and let a moment land.
On the other hand, he tends to focus more on premium weddings and corporate galas. Also, don’t expect insistent quotes; he usually provides pricing after a quick discussion about the event.
Even so, if you’re after someone who can effortlessly blend languages, cultures, and event formats, and even travel if needed, Oliver is worth considering.
Absolute joy to work with
“Oliver was an absolute joy to work with. We did not engage a wedding planner and thank god for Oliver, he sat us down for hours aiding us scripting down our wedding day program. Astonishingly, he had never shown a hint of frustration despite of the mess on 1st meeting! Oliver hosted our ROM, followed by the wedding reception immediately, almost back to back…”
-Anson and Say Yee, Testimonial
Remarkable wedding moments
“We had our wedding plans on paper but Oliver made them come alive. He lifted our crowd’s spirit and brought everyone together with the activities. He exceeded our emcee expectations. We are very thankful to him for leaving us remarkable wedding moments.”
