Eric Janssen

When you book me, we start with a quick call so I understand your event, your audience, and what a win looks like. I will work with your run-of-show, coordinate with your AV team and other vendors, and keep the program moving on time — introductions, transitions, awards, and crowd energy included. You get a prepared, professional host who shows up early, adapts on the fly, and makes your speakers and honorees look great.

I'm Eric Janssen, a professional emcee and host in the Chicago area — and a 6x best man, so holding a room's attention is something I enoy. I spent a decade in brand marketing leading brands like Huggies and Babybel, and working in pro sports - NextGen Stats work for the Green Bay Packers and leading a brand partnership with the Chicago Bulls. These days I'm the Youth Hockey Manager for the Chicago Blackhawks — so whether it's a ballroom of friends, executives, or a rink full of kids and parents, I know how to run a room. I show up prepared: I learn your audience, your brand, and what a win looks like, then build the night around it. No canned jokes, no dead air. And for the record, I won Mr. Green Bay in 2008 — I've been comfortable on a stage for a while. I’d love to bring the energy to your event. Whether you need an emcee for your wedding, a charity event, or anything that requires a host with energy to make an incredible night - I’d love to make your special occasion a night to remember.
