About Wedding & Social Event Hosting
What I Do
I’m Raina Dsouza, and wedding hosting is my jam. I don’t just keep things moving - I set the whole vibe. With 12 years on the mic, I know how to turn the usual wedding chaos into one smooth, epic party. My style is all about keeping the crowd buzzing, making sure the couple shines, and making even your shyest guests feel like they belong.
Events I Host
- Sangeet & Cocktail Nights: Get ready for games, dance-offs, and full-on masti (mischief and fun). The shoe game always gets everyone laughing.
- Mehendi & Haldi: I keep things colourful and lively, whether it’s a carnival-style Mehendi or a classic Haldi. Dhol beats, silly dares, and lots of smiles.
- Receptions: From your grand entrance to the last toast, I work with DJs and planners to make every moment pop. Keeping the dance floor packed is my specialty.
- Multi-day wedding hosting: Five-day marathons? I’m there for every function, blending right in with the family.
My Special Mix
I’m proud to be a Konkani emcee (I’ll drop a few lines in our language if the crowd’s up for it). I know my way around Mangalorean and Catholic traditions like the Roce. If your wedding’s got a cross-cultural twist, I love learning new customs and bringing them to life.
Where I Host
Based in namma Bengaluru (our Bengaluru), but always up for travel. I’m a destination wedding compere who’s hosted in Bangalore, Mangalore, Goa, Dubai, and Kochi. If your party’s somewhere else, just say the word.

My Story
Some days I look around and laugh - this is the life I once dreamt of, mic in hand, making memories everywhere. Been at it for 12 years! If I’m not on stage, you’ll find me chasing sunsets, eating something delicious, or lost at a beach somewhere. I’m a mix – sometimes sweet, sometimes wild, but always up for a party and good vibes. My people keep me grounded, and honestly, I just want to spread sunshine at every event.
My Work
Events I Host - Corporate gigs, tech summits, product launches, charity galas, weddings, sangeets – I’m your emcee for all.
How I Roll - 12 years on the mic means I bring energy and real connection. I keep things flowing, fun, and memorable.
Corporate Crowd & Conferences - Handled big names like Amazon Web Services, tech events, medical meets, even marathons. CEOs or stadiums, I’m good.
Weddings & Konkani Celebrations - Special love for weddings – especially Mangalorean Catholic ones. I’m a Konkani wedding emcee, making every moment last.
