I am well known and spreadly recommended as a bilingual and trilingual host who speaks Hungarian, English, and Russian like a native and I can switch between these effortlessly. You won't simply get a simultaneous interpreter. You will get several hosts in one - each speaking a language to a guest which they understand best. 

I genuinely connect with guests, and I always seek out personal stories to weave into the fabric of your celebration, so that this day is truly, completely about you. Heartfelt, memorable, and done with taste. 

Not to mention, with my deep knowledge of Hungarian history, culture, music, mentality, and even cultural slang, I know exactly when to drop the perfect joke, draw a parallel, or slip in a lyric at just the right moment.

Testimonials 
Anna, Cloudaware 
Masha, hi! I just wanted to say thank you again for organizing our corporate event and for everything you put into it. Everything was done brilliantly. Thank you for your ideas, for your incredible ability to coordinate everyone and everything, and for making the whole process so comfortable and easy for us. It all went so smoothly, and the DJ was amazing too! ❤️
Olga 
Masha and I have been working together for several years. During this time we have hosted a series of events, and each one of them, whether corporate or protocol, has been special and memorable. 
It is worth noting that Masha is an incredibly perceptive and versatile host. She has led our large-scale corporate events for several hundred guests, creating a very warm and heartfelt atmosphere that stays with guests for a very long time. She is equally skilled at coordinating strictly regulated protocol events with high-profile guests, filling them with live energy and elegance. 
Masha switches between Russian, Hungarian and English with remarkable ease and naturalness, skillfully weaving refined humor into her speech, always accompanied by her charming smile. 
Not only Masha, but her entire team are true professionals. A special mention goes to the DJ, who has a fine feel for the audience, masterfully selects tracks by reading the mood of the guests on the dancefloor, and manages to satisfy the taste of every single person in the room. 
I can confidently recommend Masha and her team for organizing and hosting events of any format and scale, as true professionals who listen carefully to the client's wishes, patiently work through every detail, and are always ready to offer their own creative solutions.

Only positive emotions, even now, we still can't come down from it! All the guests were absolutely delighted, and so were we. Thank you so much! We are so happy that we got to share this day with you. You made it truly unforgettable! 
Alina & Marcel 
A month has passed since the wedding, and guests are still saying enthusiastically that it was the best wedding they have ever seen in their lives. Of course, choosing your hosts is so important, they are the face of your wedding. From the bottom of my heart, I recommend Masha and Daniel. They did their job 100%. Responsibility, punctuality, quality, organization, that is all about them. 
We had a bilingual wedding, and Maria's outstanding level of Hungarian made a very strong impression on the Hungarian guests, while our Russian-speaking guests felt completely at home. Daniel played the role of not only host but also DJ. The music was enjoyed by all the guests, and the seamlessly mixed tracks played until morning. 
Most importantly, we were so very happy that day, and the memories still warm our hearts. ❤️
Natalia 
Our wedding was truly unique and unforgettable thanks to our incredible host. From the very beginning she impressed us with her professionalism and her warm, open, friendly nature. 
One of the key features of our celebration was multilingualism, our guests spoke four different languages. Masha moved from one language to another with complete ease, making our event accessible and enjoyable for everyone. She spoke Hungarian fluently and translated seamlessly into other languages, creating an atmosphere of mutual understanding. 
The Gatsby theme we had chosen was reflected in every detail, including our host's outfit. Her costume perfectly captured the spirit of the party, and she stepped into the role effortlessly, hosting our celebration with genuine enthusiasm. 
Masha was not only a consummate professional but also a brilliant performer. She kept the energy alive, created fun and captivating moments, and we felt that she was sincerely sharing in the joy of our day.
Maria 
Maria, thank you so much for hosting our wedding! It was so warm, cozy and tender. Even our Hungarian guests loved it, they said that this kind of cultural mix is actually really interesting 😄 Thank you for taking the time to get to know our family and our traditions in advance. And of course a special thank you for helping my mom organize a surprise for us from afar ☺️
Nadia 
Maria was the host at our Russian-Hungarian wedding! We were very happy with her work, her sense of humor and her punctuality. You can tell this is someone who truly loves what they do. We highly recommend Maria, both we and our guests loved every moment of it 😊
Say "Yes!" to the Event of Your Dreams!  
Fill in the form and we'll be in touch very soon.
