Just a quick thank you for MC'ing Southmall's got talent at Southmall Shopping Centre. You were brilliant and your ability to hold the crowds attention is amazing. Thank you for working to our run sheet and adding your flare to the brief. As always ensuring things run on time is important you contributed hugely to this. We appreciated you paying attention to the finer details of the day's events like getting the crowd hyped for the performers, getting the crowd to congregate in one area, encouraging applause where appropriate and ensuring the judges and perfomers were cued to do their bit. All these little things added to the positive community atmosphere on the day. Thankyou for being a part of this event and supporting Southmall Shopping Centre.

Doug te Moni is an excellent MC and I highly and unreservedly recommend him as an MC for any event that requires a pleasant, funny, thoughtful and courteous host. Doug has the wonderful ability of being able to include the crowd in the excitement of an event while still remebering to get the important information out. He is punctual and professional and his positivity and energy for the opening of the Mangere Arts Centre - Nga Tohu o Uenuku was fantastic. What made it extra special was that Doug is a Mangere local and so really connected with our audience. Doug's attention to detail pre-production also meant that he had a strong understanding of both the venue and the event. Extra value was added to Doug's service as he also promoted our event to his own networks. Doug was a natural fit for our event and easily slotted into work with the production team and staff. He was a pleasure to deal with and added quality to the event. Katrina Chandra - Manukau City Council Performing arts Manager - Mangere arts centre (09) 275 - 5919

Doug was excellent, he took ownership of the job right from the start by requesting a site visit so he could walk the site and get a real feel for the promotion. He was excellent as he supplied the full package including sound system, wireless microphone and music. His mc'ing was excellent as he had two different promotions he had to deliver and did so with a high level of quality. I was very happy with the results, in fact we were able to raise a considerable amount of money for our charity, the Foundation for Youth Development, through his ability to deliver the charity auction with such passion and conviction. I have no problems recommending Doug Te Moni to any client. Tracey Hazelwood Lymall Marketing Manager (09) 826 - 2337

Doug "BIG D" Te Moni has been a key part of the Mai FM whanau since 2002. He has worked as a front person for Mai FM as on-air announcer, promotional talent, MC and "in the background" as a promotions co-ordinator managing the street team. Doug has also created, managed and executed sales promotions for key clients making him an all rounder - the complete package in radio. His broadcasting experience and skillset have been invaluable to the radio station and contributes to the mana he brings to our airwaves on his current Saturday morning breakfast show. Doug has continued to represent the Mai FM kaupapa of promoting Te Reo Maori and Tikanga Maori by embracing the language and helping to nurture talent to reach their full potential in radio with his radio in schools programme. I have no problem recommending Doug for any position in radio. Natasha Meleisea Mai FM Marketing Manager (09) 928 - 9180

I have produced several TVC's (Network Television Commercials) with Doug as the voice talent over the past year and have found him very professional and reliable. Sometimes I have found myself needing a voice at the last minute and Doug always works his schedule so he can accommodate my timing and requirements. He is very focussed on the job during recording and is very involved in the creative process. He is a pleasure to work with in the recording studio and i have no problem recommending Doug for any TVC work. Nick Smart Nick Smart Marketing Limited (09) 378 - 6100

We have been involved in both community and commercial events in which Doug was the Master of Ceremonies. I have found working with him a huge pleasure. Not only does he take the brand into consideration but he also does enough research, asks the correct questions and makes suggestions on how to make the event better. This has resulted in good feedback from both our customers and retailers. He's got a manner that draws people in as he connects with them almost individually from the stage. This is truly a skill that not everyone can be successful in. Doug has represented us on stage for several projects including Safari land playground launch, Pop a prize promotion, Random acts of kindness day, Manukau hero awards at Event cinemas onsite, School entertainment, 5 minutes of Fame. I can recommend Doug with the highest confidence to any organisation who would like to employ him for projects. Monya Van Wyk - Westfield Manukau City Marketing Manager 021 121 7050

I run an event called Funfest here at Alexandra park in early January; we attract 40,000 people over 4 days of the event. Doug came in at the last minute when the original MC that was booked had to cancel. Doug was a revelation, he went way beyond what i expected and the crowd loved him. I will most certainly be booking him for next years event. Robert Blake General Manager APFL (09) 630 - 9719

Doug was a great M.C for us. He was a real pro from the moment i made contact. His attention to detail was second to none. He gave the concert some real energy and pace and not only introduced each act with excitement but delivered all of the technical requirements including AUT ad-libs and competitions from the main stage. I have no problem recommending Doug as M.C for your next event. Renata Blair AUT Corporate Events Manager 021 651 918

On behalf of Massy Matters, I am delighted to provide a reference for Doug Te Moni for his work as an MC for community events. In March 2010 we held a youth event for Youth Week called "it was all a dream" - jobs and training in the performing arts industries. As part of this evening we provided a free 3 hour concert. We engaged Doug Te Moni to be the MC for the concert as we wanted someone who could easily engage young people and relate to their interests. We looked for an MC with warmth, humour, energy, positivity and the "cool" factor. Doug met all our requirements and more. He was professional, flexible (when Auckland traffic meant some of the acts coould not get there on time) and linked provider opportunities nearby to concert activities. I am happy to recommend Doug to any organisation looking for professionalism, relevance and polish. Linda Shaw - Waitakere City Council Project Co-ordinator (09) 832 - 0431
