Dreading The Thought Of Being A Wedding MC?

If you want to learn about the role of the Wedding MC then you’ll want to read this article. In it we’ll take a look at what the role of the wedding MC entails, how to prepare for the reception and how to make yourself look really good on the big day.

Wedding MC duties are primarily to ensure that the reception runs smoothly; you need to help as a behind the scenes problem solver so everything looks effortless, keep guests informed so they know what is happeneing, where and what they’re supposed to do, as well as announce the speakers.

You will be expected to speak on the day, but a good wedding MC manages to be discrete enough that he doesn’t overshadow the other speakers – or the real stars of the day, the bride and groom.

Since you’re expected to know what is happening on the day you’ll need to spend some time before the wedding day with the bride and groom going over their plans. You need to know at what time events are timetabled and write all this information down so you are prepared on the wedding day and don’t miss anything vital out.

Also learn who is speaking and their names. You need to make sure you can pronounce their names properly without stumbling, so if you have any doubt, ask.

If you know what is happeneing and at what time then you’re bound to look good on the day. Most people dread the thought of public speaking, but it doesn’t have to be something that I should be feared. If you practice speaking out loud, especially if you can imagine the scene on the day you’ll start to feel more confident. And remember, the first time you speak on the day will be the worst, after that you’ll start to relax and actually enjoy the announcements.

And make sure you have a good stock of jokes and one-liners. Wedding MC jokes don’t need to be the funniest ever, but keep them clean and suitable for everyone who might attend. That means no cursing or off color humor and make sure everything you say is suitable to be heard by the bride and her family too.
