How To Be A Good Emcee For Wedding


The emcee for wedding is the host of your wedding and should make sure everyone is having a good time. A good emcee for wedding is more than someone who is good at public speaking or can tell a few jokes. Don’t stress about it too much, it’s just a really awesome party. But you do have a responsibility: you’re steering this party boat down the river and back to the wharf. You are the master of ceremonies cheerleader captain!

1. Know the plan

There might be speeches, cake cutting, and other traditional things that are important to the couple, so ask, write them down, make a plan. Plan out, when, where, how, everything will happen of course in communication with the couple as emcee for wedding. Have a quick chat to the wedding planner or coordinator and make sure you’ve got their priorities as well. There will be important announcements about smoking, social media, and possibly other things so know what they are. Know about a first dance and all of those traditional wedding reception elements that the bride and groom value.

2. Set the mood

Chat to the DJ or the band and make sure you guys can work in well together. You don’t want any dead air (silence). They could even be preparing a microphone for you, or you might need to organise a portable PA system. Don’t be afraid to talk to them about lifting or dropping the mood, it’s their job, and a professional emcee for wedding.

3. Encourage and congratulate

The purpose of the reception is to encourage and congratulate the couple on making an awesome commitment today. So in your own way, congratulate and encourage them. That’s why we make a big deal about introducing them, rile the crowd up and get the applauding.

4. Get the guests into the entertainment

If there’s a band, encourage the guests to dance. If there’s a photobooth, encourage them to get in front of it. If there’s a guestbook, lolly bar, games area, whatever it is, it’s your job to remind and encourage everyone to get into it as emcee for wedding.

5. Steer the ship, make announcements

Let everyone know what’s coming up soon, what we’re doing, why we’re doing it. The best tip I was ever given when I started radio is the same tip I think of in wedding receptions: assume everyone there is the stupidest person on the planet, but treat them with the utmost respect.

6. Have some fun!

Did somebody say dance-off? If not, dance-off. Seriously though, look for ways to get everyone having fun, including grandma through to the kids. Maybe there’s some reception games you can play or jokes you can tell.

How To Be A Good Corporate Emcee


A master of ceremonies (also known as an MC or emcee) is the official host for a staged event, performance, or party. Normally, a master of ceremonies introduces speakers, makes announcements, and engages with the audience to keep the ceremony agenda flowing as smoothly as possible.

A corporate emcee not only becomes the face and voice of your event, but also serves as the lynchpin holding everything together while keeping your audiences engaged.

Do you possess good communications skills and a knack for public speaking?

If so, your corporate emcee skills are in high demand from corporations and organizations from around the globe as a professional emcee. Professional emcees are often hired to host an event, open a seminar series, or act as the master of ceremonies for events ranging from charity auctions to general annual meetings for large corporations. A freelance corporate emcee service is a terrific business to operate on a part-time basis to supplement business or employment income. Professional emcees can earn as much as $500 for each event they emcee.

The emcee is responsible for creating and sustaining the intended atmosphere throughout the event.

The intended atmosphere may vary depending on the type of event, although most events that hire an emcee are looking to create a fun and energetic atmosphere.

As corporate emcee, your main responsibilities include:
  • Keeping the event flowing and bridging between segments of the event.
  • Keeping the interest of the audience and make sure they’re having fun.
  • Helping the audience feel respected and engaging with them during the event.
  • Helping the speakers feel valued.
  • Keeping the event on time.
  • Keeping everyone updated on what is happening at the event.
Corporate Events have a higher success rate with an energetic, engaging, charismatic, credible corporate emcee.  Amy guides your event, serves as the voice and face of the event, and moderates with poise, focus, warmth and impact, inspiring leaders, sales teams, customers, speakers and attendees. Clients have peace of mind that an experienced professional is handling their event hosting, adapting to any unforeseen variables and driving the train on stage. Attendees will participate in dynamic, engaging sessions, resulting in more engagement and higher satisfaction post-event.
