MSP Capital

A big thank you to Paul for expertly hosting MSP Capital’s ‘Cheltenham Race Day’ at Parkstone Yacht Club, Poole.

The event was attended by over 50 guests and Paul did a truly fantastic job of keeping everyone entertained.

Paul was incredibly professional at all times, clearly spoken and a lovely friendly guy.

We could not recommend a better host! The afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we would be delighted to book again in the future.

Hope Housing

Paul hosted our first ever charity Fundraising Ball at the Hilton, Bournemouth – from the first planning meeting, he put us at ease with his wealth of experience, planning expertise and attention to detail, transforming our nerves and uncertainty into confidence and excitement.

He certainly knows his stuff. At the event, Paul held the room in his hands, ensuring that the evening ran on time and without a hitch, delivering a fun and entertaining evening whilst ensuring that the fundraising aims of the night were met.

We raised over £20,000 that evening to support homeless people in Dorset and I am sure that the event would have not been such a tremendous success if we had not had Paul as host. I would have no hesitation in working with Paul again and cannot recommend him highly enough.

His approach is always positive and refreshing and we thoroughly enjoy working alongside Paul at our events.

We would highly recommended booking Paul to host an event.

Funki Griller

Paul has been a huge part of our funki family for many years now.

From the minute he starts singing to the very last song he has our customers captivated by his upbeat and energetic performance. No matter what age group we have dining from teenagers to pensioners he always adapts his set to the crowd.

The weekends wouldn’t be the same without him!

Dorset Cancer Care Foundation

It is rare to meet someone so calm, friendly and as organised as Paul and nothing fazed him.

From the moment we met. I was new to the event business /charity and after explaining that I needed a compare for our Annual Ball, not only did Paul meet the needs of what was required but also helped me step by step with the information for helping me carry out this event.

He went above and beyond that by helping me with the presentations and auction /raffle prizes with his vast experience of other events he had compared, which to someone new to this kind of thing helped me gain my confidence too.

A huge thank you to our amazing conference chair, Paul Kinvig FRSA

You wouldn’t believe the amount of behind-the-scenes planning, research, and dedication that went into chairing this event so seamlessly.

With smooth and thoughtful introductions, Paul ensured every transition was professional and polished, including summaries of each presentation and linking the themes of the day.

It’s such a gift to be able to sit back and truly enjoy the conference, knowing everything is in Paul’s safe, capable, and confident hands.

We are so lucky to have you leading the way- thank you, Paul!

Kings Arms Christchurch

When planning entertainment for our relaunch event, Paul was the natural choice due to his outstanding reputation as a singer and his loyal following.

From our initial enquiry to the event itself, Paul was a pleasure to work with, and his continued support of The King’s Arms means the world to us!

On the night, Paul was exceptional, even getting our guests up and dancing on a Wednesday evening—something truly remarkable!

We’re excited to continue working with Paul in the future, particularly for our weekend live music events. I recommend him in a heartbeat!

Paul was an absolute star as the host of our Forest Holme Hospice Charity Strictly Extravaganza!

From start to finish, he was professional, engaging, and truly knew how to keep the event running smoothly. His warmth and confidence put everyone at ease, creating a fantastic atmosphere for both the contestants and the audience.

We couldn’t have asked for a better host—thank you, Paul, for making the night so great!

Stable Family Home Trust

On behalf of everyone at The Stable Family Home Trust, I want to express our sincere gratitude and thanks for your invaluable contribution as both the host and auctioneer at our charity gala ball on Saturday night.

Your enthusiasm, charisma and engaging style as always keeps the evening flowing beautifully and played a vital role in our success.

With your help, we managed to raise a fantastic amount of over £37,000 which will make a meaningful difference to our cause.

Your skill in rallying the crowd and getting people to dig deep into their pockets at the auction is brilliant and we couldn’t have achieved this without you.

We are so grateful to have you at this event and thank you so much for your continued support with our charity.
