The short answer

WowActs books professional hosts and hostesses for corporate events, Christmas parties, launches and weddings across the UK, as a single act or part of a themed package. Tell us your date, venue and the feeling you want and we will suggest the right line-up. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually.

What do event hosts and hostesses do?

Themed hosts and hostesses greet guests, hand out drinks or masks, guide people to their seats and keep the theme alive from the first moment.

French hostesses for a Parisian night, flapper hostesses for Gatsby and elegant hosts for galas and conferences are all popular.

Frequently asked questions

Can hosts help run the event?

Yes. They can guide guests, help with seating and support your event team on the night.

How much do hosts and hostesses cost in the UK?

There is no one fixed price. Every event is different. Prices depend on the acts, the number of performers, timings, travel and location, so we quote each booking individually. Send us your date, venue and timings and we will come back with a clear quote, usually the same day.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
