About Event Hosting (Anchor & Emcee)
I’ve spent 17 years on stage and my style is all about being real, not just “reel” for social media. Real waale ko reel banane ki zaroorat hi nahi hai (A real pro doesn’t need to keep making reels). I don’t just stand there holding a mic, I’m the ‘dancing wedding emcee’—always on the dance floor, leading the baraat, pulling in everyone from your dadi-nani (grandparents) to the last cousin.
My Vibe & How I Host
- High-energy, full-of-life anchor who actually performs, not just presents.
- Bilingual anchor for Indian weddings, flipping between Hindi and English so no one feels left out.
- Crowd interaction is my thing. I use humor, quick banter, and connect with all age groups.
- I invent my own games (no boring tambola) like “Kiske jungle main bulldozer chalega?” or my wild “Wedding Olympics.” No heavy props, just pure fun.
Events I Host
- Weddings & Socials: From sangeet to haldi, pool parties to themed events—destination, Bridgerton, casino, whatever you want. Making the baraat a party is my specialty.
- Corporate & Public: Not just weddings—corporate galas, brand events, massive Holi and Navratri festivals. I bring the same energy everywhere.
Why Me
- 17 years of handling chaos—bad sound, rain, whatever—so you can chill and actually enjoy.
- I’m a proud Marathi Manoos, and I bring that warmth and authenticity to every event.
My only real goal: bring the energy, speak the truth, and help you make memories your people will actually talk about.

My Story
Hey, I’m Abhishek Mhatre. Anchor, actor, TEDx speaker – but really, a performer at heart. Seventeen years in this crazy industry, boss. Jitni unhone Diwali nahi dekhi utne humne season nikaale hain (I’ve seen more seasons than they’ve seen Diwalis). I’ve seen rude celebs, wild events, and learned to stay real, always. When I’m at your event, I treat you like family. Proud Indian, old clothes in new countries, and the show? It never stops.
