“We produce a unique event, and Angelica’s ability to quickly ‘get’ what we were doing and to pivot and figure out the tone and tenor of the room in real time was essential to our success. Her style was easygoing, in charge and effective.
We had great results working with Angelica: more than the dollars raised, the flow and ease of the evening was a wonderful notch above my expectations. I would absolutely recommend Angelica for her flow, mastery of the room and ability to be amongst big personalities, celebs and comms.”
Greg Santos, Producer
A is For Gala 2026
“I chose to work with Angelica Malin as our auctioneer because her experience was exactly what we needed, and from the very beginning it was clear we were in excellent hands. She helped keep our guests fully engaged throughout the evening and ultimately raised the largest amount of donations we have ever received at a single event. Her style is very friendly and personable, never pushy, and she came in incredibly knowledgeable about our organization and our mission, which made a real difference in how the room responded. We saw the largest amount of funds raised to date, with the entire room participating and energized, and she also provided valuable advice on the flow of the auction and even helped us with additional auction items, which was very appreciated. I would recommend Angelica 10000% - you would be crazy not to work with someone like her. We are beyond grateful for you, Angelica; it is very clear you truly care about the organization and our goals.”

I selected Angelica Malin as our auctioneer because she came highly recommended by a trusted colleague who has also worked as an auctioneer for The Family Center’s paddle raise. From the moment she stepped on stage, Angelica did an excellent job reading the room and building energy and hype for our mission and work, and we ultimately made our overall event goal thanks to the success of the paddle raise she facilitated. Angelica has a soft touch and style that exudes genuine gratitude for our guests and their generosity, and this approach landed extremely well with our audience. With Angelica as our paddle raise auctioneer, we raised 50% over our goal and more than The Family Center has ever raised before in a paddle raise. I would absolutely recommend Angelica to others; her ability to read the room is superb and truly sets her apart from other auctioneers with whom I have worked.

Her ability to connect our mission to the audience and build excitement throughout the evening was remarkable. Thanks to her skill, pacing, and command of the room during the Fund-A-Need, our guests were inspired to give at levels we have never seen before - helping us achieve a record-breaking fundraising night. If you want an emcee and auctioneer who can help captivate a crowd, elevate your event, and drive meaningful results, Angelica is outstanding.”
