Auctioneer & Master of Ceremonies
500+ events. $100 million raised. The person you call when the night can’t be left to chance.
Live auction
Live auctioneer
He doesn’t just run an auction. He runs the room.
Shaun knows when to push the bidding harder and when to let a moment breathe, when a joke will loosen a reluctant paddle and when silence will do more than words. After a decade raising funds across the region, that read of a room is second nature — and the result is an atmosphere where giving feels natural, where guests aren’t being sold to, they’re being invited to be part of something.
Master of Ceremony
Master of Ceremony
The programme runs. The room stays warm.
As MC, Shaun holds the evening together from arrival to close. He manages energy across a three-hour night, transitions between segments without the audience feeling the join, and makes every person in the room feel that their presence — and their generosity — genuinely matters. The programme runs. The room stays warm. The cause stays front and centre.
What’s included
From first briefing to final reconciliation.
- Pre-event consultationProgramme review, run sheet feedback, prize sourcing strategy (live and/or silent auction), raffle integration, cause briefing, and revenue projection — before a single bid is placed.
- MC servicesFull evening anchor across dinner, speakers, awards, entertainment and auction — seamless, professional, energetic.
- Live auction managementShaun opens the auction having already read the room — knowing which tables are engaged, which guests to call out, and how to get every paddle moving.
- Post-event debriefReconcile event funds raised. Debrief on what worked, audience feedback, what to refine, and how to grow the result together next year.
What this looks like in practice
Pre-event
Shaun reviews your programme, prizes and cause story. He’ll suggest where to place your highest-value prizes for maximum yield, what should be silent and what should be live, and how to structure pledges and raffles to complement the fundraising momentum.
On the night
Shaun arrives early, co-briefs your AV and events teams, walks the room, and takes ownership of driving engagement from opening bid to final close. You run your event. He runs the room.
“Shaun is a wonderfully entertaining and immensely skillful auctioneer. He is a pleasure to deal with and will bring that extra element to any event. He knows his audience and delivers on expectations.”
