The promise

Two families. Two languages. One room that feels like it was made for everyone — where grandparents and best friends alike understand the joke, feel the toast, and join the dance.

The tradition

What is a Tamada?

In Eastern European tradition, the Tamada is far more than an MC. He sets the tone, leads the toasts, keeps the program flowing, and makes sure no one is left out.

I bring that tradition to your celebration — in English, Russian, and beyond.

Тамада и ведущий на русском и английском языках — свадьбы, юбилеи и корпоративы по всей Америке — от Нью-Йорка и Майами до Чикаго и Калифорнии.

Questions

Good to know

Do you host weddings in both English and Russian?

Yes. I host the whole program in both languages, switching naturally so English- and Russian-speaking guests follow every toast, game and announcement.

Do you travel for weddings outside North Carolina?

Anywhere in the United States. I'm based in Charlotte, NC and regularly travel for weddings and events — from New York and Florida to Chicago, Texas and California. Destination weddings are welcome.

What is a Tamada?

A Tamada is the traditional Eastern European wedding host. He leads the toasts, games and program, and keeps every generation engaged from the first dance to the last.

What events do you host besides weddings?

Corporate galas, award nights, business openings, birthdays, anniversaries and community celebrations — in English, Russian or both.
