MC (Master of Ceremonies)

Professional vs. Family Member/Friend

Professionals are worth it, if you can find one. 

These are the qualities you want to look for in an MC:
  • Excellent Team Player
    The MC needs to work seamlessly with the venue, the caterer, the entertainment, the photographer, etc. 
  • Engaging Speaker
    You need someone with presence. Someone who can command an audience. A speaker 

The MC Duties

It's the job of the MC to make sure the night runs smoothly. 
MC introduce themselves, go over the course of events for the evening, introduce the bridal party. 
Keep the event moving in a timely manner as set out by the running sheet. This is a detailed itinerary of the events of the day. 
Sound check that microphone. 
Host the toast - how many people are coming up to the stage? Can you pronounce the bride's name? 
Make announcements - when does the banquet start? Is the photo booth available yet? Is it time for cake?
Relax, have fun. It's a party, stress less. 
Communicate with event staff - work with the DJ and the waiters. 
Food comes out on time. There's a lot of food. 
Speech time. Next up, the maid of honour! Remember, you're not the entertainment. 
Bouquet and garter toss. 
First dance. 
Cake cutting. 

Sincerity trumps humour. Remember: you're not the entertainment. It's not your job to be funny, or tell stories. It's your job to make sure everyone knows what coming up next in the evening and what to do. 
Make sure everyone's ready and on point with the plan.
