How to plan the role of Wedding MC

By Ted Davidsen


You've been asked to be the Master of Ceremonies at an imminent marriage and while you are honored to get asked, you are also a bit apprehensive because you have never been an MC before and you know it is a very important day. Nonetheless with a bit of planning and organisation, you will do just fine, but the main aspect of an MC for a marriage is to not wait until the last-minute to prepare.

Therefore , you will want to meet up with the couple marrying as quickly as possible so that you can commence your preparations. Make sure you take a large amount of notes or at least bring something with you to write down some notes and reminders to yourself during your meeting with the couple. Probabilities are, if you have been asked to be the MC, you know the couple well, but depending on what they am thinking or how massive the wedding is going to be, will impact your role. You'll need to find out about their reception they have planned and what they expect of you as their MC. Almost all of the time they are going to have some ideas, which of course, will help you in planning the day accordingly.

You can probably presume that the bride-to-be will be the one with many concepts for you. Typically , the Master of Ceremonies has a few tasks, but your most important role is to be sure the reception flows smoothly from start to finish. Moreover, everybody needs to be entertained, which is part of your job as the MC, which is why preparing some great Wedding MC Jokes is so important.

You will want to make certain all of the sound equipment is in place and working prior to the reception. If there's going to be a band, then they're going to need time to set up and practice. Additionally, there are sometimes speeches and toasts that occur at the reception, so you are going to want to be sure the mics are all working correctly before the reception begins. If the reception is formal, you are going to need to help each guest find their way to their seating area as well as the receiving line.

Finally, if there are special guests that will be speaking at the reception, be sure to have special seating for them toward the front of the room, near the stage so they can easily walk to the mic when called upon. Once everyone has been seated and cosy, take to the mic and let everyone know you are contented they are there and that you are the Master of Ceremonies and welcome everyone including any guests. You can announce the band, music, the dinner being served, and anything else of seriousness. The key side to remember is your most important job is to make everything run smoothly so the bride and groom can enjoy their reception.
