REVIEWS / TESTIMONIALS

“Summa was the MC for a cooking demonstration and fashion parade at the Unley Gourmet Gala.  Summa is very talented and personable and did a great job of involving the crowd. She was very professional and her style and manner added to the great atmosphere of the gala – I look forward to working with her again in the future.”
