Testimonials for Catriona Rowntree
Excellent - Catriona was professional and was critical in creating a wonderful night."
NT Tourism Awards
“Catriona was a sensation and perfectly prepared and dressed for the 70's theme of this year's 10th Annual ALIA - Australian Liquor Industry Awards. There were close to 800 people in attendance and the attendees were very loud and in a celebratory mood - to say the least. Catriona handled them very well as it would have been a difficult room to work. They really loved her and here in NPG she is very much our favourite. 100% entertaining, 100% professional and 100% gorgeous. We couldn't recommend her more."

Dolly Magazine NSW
“Catriona was a sensation as an MC. She brought the HM awards alive and embraced the event and the audience with such enthusiasm and fresh vitality. A truly professional and motivating performance - but then I expected nothing less from her! We would welcome an encore performance from Catriona next year."
National Publishing Group
Ms Catriona Rowntree was sensational. Our audience loved her; they said she was the BEST MC they have ever had. She was easy to work with, a total professional, flexible and interested in the evening. Everyone had a great time and she made our lives very pleasurable.
