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.

Consultation Calls

Working together as your auctioneer, we’ll have two consultation calls. First, a kick-off call where I’ll get to know your mission, goals and donor base. We will cover:

  • Your fundraising goals

  • Live auction planning

  • Previous event successes and learnings

  • Event design and run-of-show best practice

  • Introductions to consignment companies and software (where suitable)

  • Talking points for the auction and paddle raise

I can also promote your gala to my audience and create pre-event video content for your social media.

Event Time!

On the big day, I bring my best as your auctioneer - facilitating the live auction and pledge drive with energy, humor and warmth. I arrive to the event super early to get prepared. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Mingling with your donor base

  • A live auction that captivates the audience and encourages generosity

  • A heartfelt, authentic paddle raise

  • Effortless crowd engagement throughout the programme

  • Professional videography (additional cost)

I can also create behind-the-scenes content for you at your event for you to use on social media to promote the event the following year.

Post-Event Pow Wow

My partnership doesn’t end when the event’s over. I’m there every step of the way. Working with me includes:

  • A post-event call to discuss the fundraising goals, outcomes and improvements for the next year

  • Unlimited email support whilst working together

  • Introductions to consignment and event management software for future events

  • Posts on social media after the event

    I can also provide access to my video and social media content for your own usage. Let’s hit those fundraising goals together!

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.
