Meet Your MCS

Johnny Deng

Johnny has been hosting Asian-American weddings since 2011, with 13+ years of experience and 380+ events completed.

Known for his natural, lighthearted, and confident hosting style, Johnny helps couples balance English and Cantonese naturally — keeping the energy high while making sure guests across generations stay engaged.

Sandy Wang

Sandy brings over 20 years of experience and 600+ weddings hosted to Subtle Asian Entertainment.

Fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, Sandy is especially sought after by couples whose families value clear communication, structure, and cultural familiarity. Her calm presence and professionalism create environments where everyone feels at ease.

Bridging Language and Traditions

Johnny and Sandy bring complementary cultural perspectives shaped by years of working together and learning from one another while hosting Asian-American weddings across a wide range of traditions.

Johnny was born and raised in the U.S. by immigrant parents. Sandy grew up immersed in Chinese customs before moving to America as a teenager. That shared experience allows them to understand not just what is traditionally done — but why it matters, and when it makes sense to adapt.

Their role isn’t to dictate how a wedding should look. Instead, they help couples understand common customs, modern variations, and practical considerations — then support them in choosing what best fits their priorities and comfort level.

Most weddings are hosted by one MC (either Johnny or Sandy), selected based on language needs and availability. Dual-MC hosting is available upon request for select events.
