Testimonials
“I chose to work with Angelica Malin as our auctioneer for the Brighter Children Gala as 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.”
Kale Troutman, Co-Founder, William Kale Productions
“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.”
Aileen Parker, Chief Development Officer, The Family Center
“Angelica Malin was truly exceptional at the MBCure Gala. From the moment she took the stage, she brought incredible warmth and professionalism that immediately engaged the entire room. 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.”
Nicole Beck-Clifford, Co-Founder of MBCure
“I would highly recommend Angelica Malin as your next emcee or auctioneer. Angelica played a pivotal role in helping us raise more money than ever at our New York Fashion Week fundraising event. With grace, charm, and wit, she worked the crowd masterfully during our live auction, sparking more bids than we could have imagined. Her presence elevated the entire evening, and we were absolutely delighted to have her as both emcee and auctioneer. We look forward to working with her again in the future and know she would be an incredible asset to any fundraising event.”

"Angelica Malin was an outstanding auctioneer for our KidSpirit Benefit Dinner pledge drive! Her warm and enthusiastic presence immediately connected with our guests, and she took the time to carefully prepare and thoughtfully engage with our mission, which made all the difference. Thanks to her skilled auctioneering, our pledge drive was incredibly successful, and we couldn't be happier with the results!"

“Angelica had incredible energy and just felt like she would be the perfect fit for our Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition annual benefit. Angelica got the crowd excited, laughing, and energized - we were able to hit our fundraising goal. It was the largest “raise the paddle” dollar amount the organization has ever achieved. Angelica is a gem - the crowd (and our board of directors) loved her. We hit our goal and then some. 100% would recommend.”
Cindy Donaldson, Executive Director of Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition
“Angelica Malin was recommended by LuxGive. She was accommodating to our budget and very willing to work with us. Angelica was a real pro! She was fantastic in getting the crowd interested in the auction, and I was so happy with how she incorporated details of our organization’s work into her script. She is high energy and engaging. Absolutely would recommend her - Angelica was a professional who worked with the organization to prepare. She was easygoing and helpful, with a lot of great suggestions for us to improve our fundraising at the event. We would highly recommend her to other nonprofits.”
Nora Nicholson, Director of External Affairs, Westchester Children’s Association
"Angelica was very professional and we instantly connected with her. She had great energy and was key in the success of the live auction and paddle raise. I think her style is professional, organized, and has clear communication with the audience. With the amount of items we had for the live auction she was able to really get the highest bid and most money for each item. Angelica met expectations with funds raised and bidder participation. I would absolutely recommend Angelica to other non-profit organizations”
Elisa Cash, Hunter College Elementary School
“We were looking for an experienced professional and dynamic personality - Angelica’s website was a great resource to show her experience, style, and professionalism. Angelica was a breath of fresh air to our longstanding event - her style was warm and friendly, yet focused on securing bids and keeping the momentum up. Playful yet professional, warm yet assertive. We came very close to meeting our dollar goal; but it was also really important to us that the audience had a positive experience during the auction, and they did! The auction felt exciting (no crickets), and kept the pace that we needed to stay on schedule. We would defintely recommend her to other organisations. Angelica was easy to work with, and was a great resource for the current state of charity event auctions - what's working, what audiences are responding to, how to structure, and how to sell. We hope to have Angelica back for our next event!”
Katie Braja, RVNA Health
“We selected Angelica because of her experience as an emcee, auctioneer, and fundraiser, as well as her ability to connect with diverse audiences. From our first conversations, it was clear that she understood how to balance professionalism, energy, and storytelling. We wanted someone who could not only run the program smoothly but also help inspire generosity, and Angelica exceeded those expectations. Angelica had a tremendous impact on both the energy and success of our event. She kept the audience engaged throughout the evening, created seamless transitions between program elements, and brought enthusiasm and confidence to the live auction and paddle raise.
Her fundraising expertise was evident in the way she motivated guests to participate and support Stuyvesant and the Alumni Association's programs. Angelica is warm, polished, personable, and highly skilled at reading a room. She struck the perfect balance between elegance and approachability, making guests feel comfortable while maintaining excitement and momentum. Her preparation, professionalism, and natural stage presence allowed her to connect with our audience in a great way throughout the evening.
The 2026 Benefit for Stuyvesant was our most successful gala yet. We raised more money the night of the event than ever before and surpassed our previous fundraising benchmarks. Participation during both the live auction and paddle raise was exceptionally strong, and Angelica's leadership and fundraising instincts played a significant role in helping us achieve those results.
I would recommend Angelica without hesitation to any nonprofit, educational institution, foundation, or organization seeking an exceptional emcee and auctioneer. She is professional, collaborative, thoughtful, and highly effective at driving fundraising results. Most importantly, she was a true partner in the success of the event. We were thrilled with the outcome and look forward to working with her again.”
Diego Segalini, Stuyvesant High School Alumni Association
