TESTIMONIALS

Here’s what Natasha Kaplinsky’s clients said:

Many thanks once again for another exemplary and professional show from Natasha…Not only was the client very happy again, several of the sponsors and winners were also extremely complimentary and I am certain that Natasha’s work on stage greatly added to their enjoyment of the evening. Just as importantly, from our perspective, she was a pleasure to work with as always – this was an especially complicated show this year on a very tight schedule and it is a great joy to have a presenter as efficient, professional and calm as Natasha.
The Annual World Superyacht Awards 2013 (Philip Talbot Productions)

Natasha was an absolute joy to work with; she went over and above our expectations taking the time to learn about the client and the key messages delivered by the conference. Not only did she utilise her excellent journalistic skills during Q and A sessions but also added a touch of humour into her role as host ensuring she was well received by all. She was extremely popular with both the presenters and delegates and we would very much welcome the opportunity to work with her again.

Natasha was superb as the host for our Friday event and added a huge layer of professionalism to the evening. She came across as someone who was genuinely impressed and excited with what she was presenting, which made everyone feel very special indeed. At least half of the audience fell in love with Natasha while she was with us!

The 2011 Taxation Awards (DF Entertainment)

Just a short line to thank Natasha for an excellent job at the World Superyacht Awards. As ever she did an excellent job as presenter, including dealing calmly and unflappably with a key sponsor wandering widely off script. She was also a pleasure to work with and calmness personified…The client were very happy once more and we hope to work with her and you again soon.
