About Wedding Event Hosting
What I Do
Main Riya hoon. I’m not just your wedding host - I set the vibe, spark the energy, and make sure your day actually feels like YOURS. I’m the one dancing at the baraat, swapping stories with your chacha, and hyping up your friends so nobody’s just sitting bored.
Why Pick Me
For me, wedding hosting is all about building connections - kaam aise karo ki rishte bann jaye (work so relationships are built). I get to know you, your story, and make sure your guests - from daadi to college gang - feel like they’re part of it all. No robotic scripts, just real moments.
My Style
- Energy that doesn’t quit. You’ll see me everywhere - on the dance floor, DJ truck, even playing the dhol if the mood’s right.
- Interactive wedding games keep everyone involved, not just watching from far. Bride’s squad vs groom’s gang? Count me in!
- Personalized wedding storytelling is my jam. I’ll weave your love story into the event with humor and heart.
- Sangeet night hosting, haldi games, pool party madness - I switch up my style for each function.
- Unique wedding themes? La Tomatina, carnival, or something wild you’ve dreamt up - I’m game.
Where I Host
I’m based in Mumbai but I’m a destination wedding anchor. Goa, Jaipur, Jodhpur, or anywhere your party’s happening, I’m ready to travel, dance, and host.
Languages
Hindi, English, thoda Marathi bhi. Har guest ko tah-e-dil se swagat (a heartfelt welcome).

My Story
Hey, I’m Riya Thatte. Two years back I grabbed the mic and never let go! My folks and partner, total cheer squad, are my backbone. Got a tattoo - Matru Pitru Devo Bhava - my parents are my world. I live by: be main character, spread kindness, and dil khol kar jeena, zindagi tumhari hai! (Live with an open heart, this life is yours!) Smiles, celebrations, and a little madness - that’s me.
My Work
Event Hosting for All Occasions - I anchor weddings, sangeet nights, Haldi ceremony entertainment, birthdays, baby showers, and more. Your dream, my mic!
Not Just a Voice, I’m a Vibe - I bring humour, crazy energy, and make sure your party is unforgettable. Humorous event emcee is my thing.
Memories Over Decor - People remember feelings, not flowers. I make sure the bride, groom, and family have memories locked in forever.
Interactive & Spontaneous - Love mixing in childhood games at events, spontaneous twists, and keeping everyone on their toes. Party rock kar dungi baby!
Hinglish Connection - I speak Hinglish, connect with the crowd, and keep the vibe real. No boring speeches, just pure fun.
