A Delicate Task
As the intermediary at your reception, the Master of Ceremonies, or ‘MC’, has a busy time ahead of them.

They need to liaise with your wedding professionals, be prepared for anything, and ensure that an appropriate and enjoyable atmosphere is created, while still carrying out their own duties with calm and friendly assurance.

This is not an easy task. When choosing the MC, make sure that they’re aware of the amount of preparation required to fulfil the role successfully. Ideally, your MC should be an extrovert who is comfortable speaking in front of an audience. If they don’t like public speaking but have their heart set on performing the role, you might suggest they attend one of the excellent Toastmasters courses.

A Professional MC
You could also consider engaging the services of a professional MC. A true professional will offer a blend of spontaneity, charm, and humour, as well as having excellent communication skills.

A good wedding MC knows exactly what is expected of them. They have impeccable manners, are punctual, well-dressed, articulate, and tactful. Experience has given them the skill to handle a variety of people and to be sensitive to different customs, traditions and cultures.

Style & Humour
Remember that each MC has their own style and sense of humour, so you will need to meet with several before making a choice for your reception. Always ask for references from past clients so that you can find out whether these couples were happy with the MC’s services.

The MC's duties include welcoming your guests and introducing you, the newly wedded couple. At the appropriate time, the MC introduces the speakers, all of whom have been properly prepared by meeting with the MC prior to the event. Many MC’s are able to assist by providing speakers with sample speeches.

Orchestrating the Event
It is also the MC’s role to orchestrate the cutting of the cake, followed by the bridal waltz. They will then prompt your guests to join you on the dance floor. Later, they will arrange for the traditional throwing of the bouquet, the catching of the garter, the farewell circle and the guard of honour.

The MC then brings the event to its natural conclusion as you exit the room and prepare to leave in your ‘get away’ car. If necessary, some MC’s will also ensure that your luggage has been safely deposited in the boot. After your departure, your MC will close the reception by gathering everyone together once more to wish them farewell.

Hallmarks of a Professional
A professional MC is familiar with the responsibilities of the other wedding professionals involved in the reception. They are able to build an immediate rapport with these professionals, which helps in the execution of everyone’s job.

They anticipate, recognise and deal directly with any problems that may arise. They do this easily and graciously, without disrupting the ambience of the event or disturbing the guests.

A professional MC is familiar with the order and timing of all aspects of the reception. They have the experience and knowledge to smoothly co-ordinate each important step, making adjustments as necessary.

They take into account the personalities of the bride and groom, and create an appropriate atmosphere in which everyone can feel comfortable and relaxed.

The Talented Touch
Engaging a professional MC will ensure that all the elements of the reception flow together easily and naturally, with no uncomfortable gaps.

A professional MC will use their unique blend of talents, plus the added sparkle that comes only with years of experience, to make your reception a unique, memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
