What we do
The host is the difference between a party and a room full of children
A host keeps the party moving: welcomes guests, runs games that suit the ages, leads the dance-alongs, announces the cake, organizes the photo with the birthday child and keeps the schedule you agreed. Parents get to watch instead of herd.
Event Creation books party hosts and MCs for children’s birthdays, teen parties, school and community events and family celebrations across Toronto and the GTA. Hosts are booked by the hour and quoted with the rest of your entertainment.
Hosts bring their own music, a speaker and the game props, and work alongside any other entertainer you book.

Venues
Hosting at home, in halls and outdoors
Home parties in Vaughan, Markham and North York need a cleared floor and a corner for the speaker. Halls and community centres in Scarborough and Mississauga give room for relay races and parachute games.
Backyards work well for games and dance-alongs in dry weather; the host brings a plan B of indoor games in case of rain.
For family days and festivals, the host works from a small stage or a cleared area with a sound system.
