Dakota was our celebrant, our MC and our headline act, which sounds like too much for one person until you watch her do it. The costume changes alone. My mother is still talking about the roasting she got, and she loved every second of it.
Wedding, Woodville, Oct 2025 · WeddingThursday nights used to be dead on Oxford Street. Dakota changed that. Draggieoke filled the room week after week and the energy never dropped once.
The Colombian Hotel, Darlinghurst · DraggieokeKat took one look at our group and knew exactly how to play it. The whole bar ended up involved. The bride has not stopped talking about it since.
Hens Night, The Colombian Hotel, Apr 2025 · Hens PartyFunny, commanding, completely at home on a microphone. Conchita made our night one of the best we ran all year and the crowd adored her.
The Colombian Hotel, Darlinghurst · Drag HostingSharp, camp and professionally run. Dakota and the Syd Showgirls team know how to light up a room, and that is what keeps our nights busy.
Since I Left You (SILY), Sydney · VenueOur Christmas party covers a very broad room and most hosts struggle with that. Dakota did not. She was warm with the nervous ones, quick with the loud ones, and every person was still laughing at the end. Booking her again.
People and Culture, Commonwealth Bank, Sydney · Corporate EventBiggest bar night we have had in months. Dakota had tables competing like there was money on it. Already locked her in for next quarter.
Padstow RSL Club · Drag BingoKelly Ann brought real theatrical glamour to a room that can be hard to fill. Stunning costumes, and a stage presence that held every guest we had. She is coming back.
Fortress Sydney · BurlesqueBest event I have been to in years, and I organise a lot of them. Kat Abolic asked about the group beforehand and it showed. Every joke landed because it was ours. The bingo got competitive enough that two of the bridesmaids fell out briefly. The bride said it was the best night of the whole weekend.
Hens Drag Bingo, Sydney CBD, May 2025 · Hens PartyEvery table was shouting the chorus by round three. Dakota knew each track, kept the rounds tight, and the bar ran hot from open to close. She is a regular now.
The Light Brigade Hotel, Woollahra · Musical BingoDraggieoke at The Woolpack has been our strongest regular night since we opened the doors. Dakota brings a crowd, and that crowd spends. Simple as that.
The Woolpack Hotel, Redfern · DraggieokeOur group ran from 21 to 58 and I was certain no single person could work that. Kat Abolic had the bride roasted inside five minutes. She ran every game like she had known us for years. By the end my aunt was crying laughing next to my sister's uni mates. Just book her.
Hens Night, Newtown, Mar 2025 · Hens PartyDakota read the room the second she walked in. Professional, very funny, never once lost control of it. The team still brings it up.
Events Team, Ernst & Young, Sydney · Corporate EventMy cheeks hurt from laughing. Dakota was gorgeous, so much fun, and made the entire event. Love love love.
Hens Party, Beacon Hill, Aug 2024 · Hens PartyLarge group, mixed backgrounds, plenty of people who did not know each other. Conchita handled all of it without breaking stride. Warm, hilarious, completely in control. Everyone left smiling.
People and Culture Lead, Kantar, Sydney · Corporate EventLife and soul of our Christmas party. Dakota brought a mixed group together through sheer laughter.
Corporate Event, Marsden Park, Dec 2024 · Corporate EventThe room went silent from her first number. Kelly Ann Doll is one of the most commanding performers we have ever put on that stage. Polished, theatrical, magnetic.
The Colombian Hotel, Darlinghurst · BurlesqueNext level. Kat got every single person involved, even the shy ones, and made the bride feel like a queen all night. Weeks later we are still on about it.
Hens Night, Glebe, Jun 2025 · Hens PartyTwo hundred people, captivated, start to finish. Kelly Ann is the real deal.
The Colombian Hotel, Darlinghurst · BurlesqueLife drawing for a hens night could have gone badly. Kat made it funny, cheeky and completely comfortable. The bride cried laughing.
Hens Night, Surry Hills, Feb 2025 · Hens PartyGlamorous, sharp-witted, in command of the room from the first minute. Dakota elevated the whole evening and every guest left raving.
Brand Events Manager, Ralph Lauren, Sydney · Corporate EventA corporate room is a hard crowd and Conchita Grande worked it beautifully. Funny without ever being at anyone's expense, and professional throughout.
Programs Manager, CADA, Sydney · Corporate EventDakota was amaaaaazing. So accommodating and such a laugh. Back any day.
Corporate Event, Richmond, Jun 2024 · Corporate EventStrong numbers behind the bar, every table engaged, and a show polished enough to make us look good. Dakota delivered.
Highfield, Caringbah · Drag BingoExceptional. Dakota brought the right energy for a corporate crowd, clever rather than crude, and very funny with it. Highlight of our year.
Events Coordinator, Clyde & Co. Sydney · Corporate EventHigh energy, inclusive, spectacular. Dakota hosted a drag show night that is everything The Imperial is about, and the crowd was on its feet throughout.
The Imperial Hotel, Erskineville · Drag ShowWe brought Dakota in for the all-staff celebration and she was outstanding. Kept the energy up, got the whole room on its feet, and made it the most memorable night the team has had in years.
Internal Events Lead, Investa, Sydney · Corporate EventThe production value is unlike anything else we book. Every costume change, every number, executed perfectly. Kelly Ann headlined our special event night and our guests are still raving.
Fortress Sydney · BurlesqueSingers, crowd, bar staff, all of them in on it together. Dakota is a natural and our regulars have not shut up about that night.
Schirrmo's Bar, Haymarket · DraggieokeEighty people from every part of the business, laughing together inside ten minutes. Conchita reads a room better than anyone we have booked. Outstanding.
Staff Engagement Lead, MHNDU, Sydney · Corporate EventSilent during her numbers, screaming by the end. Kelly Ann headlined our show night and delivered something extraordinary. She is in a class of her own.
The Colombian Hotel, Darlinghurst · BurlesqueQuick, sharp, and she reads a mixed Oxford Street crowd better than most. Conchita Grande had the venue in the palm of her hand. Every round was electric.
The Colombian Hotel, Darlinghurst · Drag HostingWe had Dakota perform at my hens and she was INCREDIBLE. Trivia, bingo, and cheeky banter that kept the energy up the whole time. Recommend her to anyone organising something fun.

Frequently asked questions
Can a drag queen legally marry us?
Yes. Dakota Fann'ee is a registered marriage celebrant, which means she can lawfully conduct and solemnise your ceremony, and then host your reception and perform. One artist can carry your whole day.
What is the difference between an MC and a celebrant?
The celebrant conducts the ceremony and legally marries you. The MC hosts the reception, runs its flow and keeps the timeline on track. With Dakota you can have both in one person, or just the part you need.
What does a wedding MC actually do?
Welcomes guests, introduces the couple and bridal party, cues speeches and formalities like the first dance and cake cutting, guards the run sheet, and liaises with your venue and vendors so you can relax and enjoy the day.
Do you cater to same-sex and LGBTQIA+ weddings?
Absolutely, and proudly. A celebrant and host who is one of us brings genuine warmth to same-sex weddings, commitment ceremonies, civil unions and anniversaries. This is the heart of what we do.
Can the entertainment be tasteful and suit all our guests?
Yes. We scale everything from tasteful and family-friendly through to full cabaret, agreed with you beforehand, so it suits grandparents and your wildest friends alike.
Is there live singing, or is it karaoke?
Live performance. Dakota is a live-singing drag queen, so the vocals are a genuine show moment, not guests on a karaoke mic.
How much does a wedding MC or entertainment cost in Sydney?
Syd Showgirls Every booking is priced individually for entertainment and hosting, with full ceremony-and-reception packages quoted to your day. As market context, professional wedding MCs in Australia commonly range from around $500 to $1,500 for a reception. Tell us your day and we will send a tailored quote.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular hosts and performers are often booked six to twelve months ahead, especially for peak season and Saturdays, so it is never too early to check your date.
Are you insured?
Yes. Syd Showgirls carries $10 million in public liability insurance, and we can provide a certificate of currency for your venue.
