Testimonials for Oliver Peterson
Hosting, engaging and sometimes controlling a few thousand of the hospitality industries best and brightest at a black tie awards night can be a challenge for an MC but Oliver Peterson does it with aplomb. He is highly professional, entertaining and very likeable. The AHA has worked with Oliver on numerous occasions as Master of Ceremonies at our various awards evenings throughout the year.

If you want someone to M.C your event then go no further than Oliver Peterson. We’ve been fortunate to have Oly running the show for the last two editions (2017-2018) of the Cricket Legends Lunch before sold out audiences at the Crown and Hyatt Regency. Oly is the consummate professional.

Opening Perth Stadium to the WA public was a huge milestone for the state, and KOJO was eager to engage a suitable voice to match the occasion. Oliver conducted the Ground Announcer role flawlessly and delivered an entertaining experience for the first fans to visit the venue.

As you know, this is an important event for Volunteering WA and we were delighted to have you at the helm for this celebration of Western Australia’s volunteers and our vibrant volunteering community. We received some great feedback from our Board and sponsors and, most importantly, from the volunteers who were honoured on the night. Your professionalism and empathy were greatly appreciated and we would look forward to working with you again.

I can highly recommend Oliver Peterson as a presenter, host or MC. I had the pleasure of working with Oly during my time at the Nine Network when he hosted numerous events including The John Hughes Big Walk, WA Regional Achievement Awards and the West Perth Football Club Annual Awards. He is the consummate professional when taking on these roles. He thoroughly researches any events he is involved in, is personable, has a great sense of humour and fully engages with his audience.

Oliver has become the match day 'voice' of South Sydney when the Rabbitohs come to Perth each year to host a home game at nib Stadium. He is a professional ensuring he is fully prepared and does his research before the game and the result in his performance is first class. The club would highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking for a Ground Announcer or MC at their events.
