Zoe came to us highly recommended and it couldn’t have been a better suggestion. She was incredibly entertaining and held the audience in the palm of her hand. A true professional! Riverview College
Zoe was wonderful host. She kept the 800 person crowd entertained for the whole evening. She combined poignant personal anecdotes and valuable insight into the topic at hand. It was evident she was very well researched. During the Q&A session she facilitated the room with ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Young Garvin Board of Directors
With so many facets to pull together we were so glad that we acquired Zoe as our MC. Thanks to her public speaking and MC skills we were able to carry out the introductions, performances, auctions, silent auctions and many thank you’s effortlessly and seamlessly. Zoe totally embraced the whole event and the students loved her. St Catherine’s School Melbourne
As producer of the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, I have worked with many presenters over the past 7 years. On March 2nd 2012, Zoe Naylor co presented the live event. Zoe is easily one of the most natural and professional presenters I have worked with. From the outset Zoe embodied the core values of the event – thoughtful and experienced input into script, along with excellent management of stakeholders on the night. I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again. Wonderment Event Production
Zoe Naylor MC’d all three of the recent Corporate PA Summits, held in Brisbane, Melbourne in Sydney. Zoe is an extremely professional chairperson, with an incredible energy and ability to immediately connect with her audience. Her ability to control the program, and bring the best out of all of the speakers, is extremely impressive. We received over 500 feedback forms from attendees at the summit, and Zoe scored 5/5 almost exclusively, with attendees clearly appreciating her ability to think on her feet, ask probing questions, and to bring a level of professionalism to the events that reflects on everyone in attendance. We could not recommend Zoe highly enough, and look forward to working with her again in the future. ThinkTank Media
I couldn’t have anticipated just how amazing Zoe Naylor was when she recently hosted our largest corporate event at InterContinental Sydney. The versatility, conviction and detail Zoe delivered based on our given brief were flawless … not only was this our best event ever but our guests left saying that they would have paid a lot of money to see such theatrics and entertainment and that Zoe was the standout of the day. I already have plans to use Zoe in our event next year. The Hotel School Sydney
