MC

The Golden Days of the traditional Toastmaster may be numbered now in the modern world of weddings, but that doesn’t mean you should be without a Host or Master of Ceremonies (MC) for your special event.

The original role of the ‘Red Coat’ was to create a sense of ceremony, with a recognisable key speaker easily noticed around the room. But even without the bright wardrobe, the role of an MC is a simple but fundamental edition to the smooth running and coordination of your perfect day…

An ‘Event Host’ will guide your guests from one key event to the next, by introducing:

  • Confetti throw
  • Call through to dinner
  • Arrival of the Married Couple
  • Start of the Wedding Breakfast
  • Speeches
  • Cutting the cake
  • First Dance
  • … and any other key announcements on your day!

But it doesn’t end there!
Samantha will also entertain and welcome your guests along the way by providing an appropriate level of humour, conversation, and even some lighthearted banter to encourage guests to feel involved  and to enjoy each moment as it happens. It’s about making sure that everyone feels welcome, every step of the way!

…so, you see – it’s less about the red coat, and more about the personality underneath!
