Charity Event Host & MC
The full evening, handled
Kevin Durham is a professional charity auctioneer and event host who can take on the full MC role for your fundraising evening — not just the auction. From welcoming guests and introducing speakers to managing the schedule and keeping energy high between segments, Kevin runs the whole room so your team does not have to.
He has hosted award ceremonies, corporate conferences, gala dinners, product launches, and large-scale family events for audiences from intimate charity dinners to crowds of over 10,000. Clients include major UK and international brands — and the feedback is consistent: professional, warm, prepared, and genuinely good at reading a room.
What Kevin covers as your event host:
- Guest welcome and arrivals
- Speaker introductions and transitions
- Schedule management and timing
- Live auction and pledge drive
- Silent auction coordination
- Fundraising games and raffle
- Closing the evening
Booking Kevin as your event host and auctioneer means one experienced person manages the tone and flow of the entire night. There is no handover between an MC and an auctioneer at the critical fundraising moment — Kevin holds the room from start to finish.
“Kevin is a fantastic host. I used him as a toastmaster for a corporate event. I booked him last minute and with minimal prep time, he managed to provide an exceptional service. He was professional and went above and beyond to ensure that our guests were engaged throughout the course of the event. I highly recommend Kevin!.”
— Doreen Kasim, Project & Operations Manager, Fireaway
My company used Kevin’s Services for our awards evening, and we were blown away with his performance! From the time of engagement Kevin was very clear and communitive, gave great advise and set clear deadlines.
We will definitely be working with Kevin again.
