Elite Event Hosting.
One host. Four services. Zero stress. Unrivaled Experience. Total Flexibility.
Steve McKenna brings decades of high-pressure performance to your stage. Whether you need a world-class Host, a high-energy Auctioneer, a floor-filling DJ, or a complete technical AV solution—Steve delivers a broadcast-standard experience tailored to your specific needs. Many event organisers spend weeks chasing a host, an auctioneer, a DJ and an AV company separately. Steve can deliver all four: to one brief, on one invoice, with one point of contact.
Book one service, or the entire evening.

Keynote Conference Speaker
Fantastic support from Steve at our Rotary District West of Scotland conference. I have had amazing feedback from the delegates, and I was impressed when Steve said he would network with delegates through lunch.
His presentation made the conference.
Gail Savage - Rotary Scotland
Awards Host
Steve not only got the audience involved but also kept the laughs coming in all night. Steve brings such charisma and positivity to every interaction, whether on stage or individually, which makes everyone feel incredibly special.
I can't recommend him enough
(Except in November as I need him at our next awards)
Kevin Ansell -Sports Council
Event Host
We’ve just finished our Annual Conference at Fairmont St Andrews with delegates in Steve’s safe hands as daytime & evening host. Steve will tell you he’s a “gob on a stick”, but he’s the friendliest, funniest, most professional gob on a stick we know.
Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of working with him, you’ll be glad you did.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Where in Scotland does Steve work?
- Steve is based in Central Scotland and regularly hosts events across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Aberdeen, Ayrshire and the rest of central Scotland. He also travels UK-wide and internationally.
- What does it cost to hire Steve?
- It really depends on what he's doing. Time is an important factor both in terms of how long you need him and the day of the week. Fees can be as low as £500, but £1,500 is the average. Savings can be achieved with multi-service bookings (e.g., host + DJ for the same event), particularly when combined with audiovisual support from McKenna Live Events.
- Does Steve host charity events at a reduced rate?
- Yes. Steve supports a number of charities each year at reduced or pro-bono rates. Get in touch with your cause and event date.
- Can Steve provide the AV, screens staging and lighting too?
- Yes. Through McKenna Live Events (Steve's production company) the full event can be delivered — host, DJ, sound, lighting, screens, staging, and event management — under a single contract.
- What size events has Steve hosted?
- From boardroom panels of 20 people to a live audience of 40,000. Steve has hosted national awards ceremonies, blue-chip conferences, charity galas, festivals and product launches.
- How far in advance should events be booked?
- Peak season (Sept–Dec, Mar–Jun) typically books 3–6 months out. Steve takes last-minute enquiries when diary allows — always worth asking.
