The Master of Ceremonies is the person with the microphone whose job it is to keep the guests informed and up to date about what is going on throughout the day. Throughout a traditional English wedding, the guests may need to move between venues or rooms or need to be available and ready for specific moments like the official wedding photographs or the cutting of the cake.

The Master of Ceremonies plays an important role, as even a delay of ten minutes can sometimes throw an entire schedule out of kilter. The Master of Ceremonies can also help in keeping guests calm and happy, keeping them informed as to when and what is happening. The Master of Ceremonies can be particularly important if your wedding is going to have a more non-traditional part to it or isn’t going to run in a ‘usual’ way.

The Master of Ceremonies doesn’t need to be a performer, although sometimes it does help, but simply someone who can offer a dignified and clear voice to your proceedings. Often the Master of Ceremonies will use whatever sound system is in place for the band or DJ.

No matter what the occasion, I can help you make your “special” day very different! Taking the worry out of the arrangements, I will help you to do just that, leaving you to enjoy the moment, knowing that everything that was planned by you is now in my safe hands! I will ensure that all goes well on the Big Day – whatever it is – Wedding, Birthday, Awards, Conference, Dinner Dance, Cocktail Party, Anniversary, Graduation Ceremony – your part is to enjoy it and leave the rest to me!

I will meet and greet your guests, keep them informed, make the announcements, help with speeches (if needed), ensure that all the details are in place, and everyone is at the right place at the right time, assist with your photographer, the caterer, the venue and look after the “top” table, whether it be a Wedding, Conference, Dinner, Awards Night, or any other function.
