7 Sure Fire Ways To Mess Up Being A Wedding MC
7 Sure Fire Ways To Mess Up Being A Wedding MC
By Brad Murray
1 Getting Drunk
Solution: no alcoholic drink throughout the reception other than, perhaps, a sip at the toasts. If you can't go to a party and abstain from alcohol, you should not be a wedding mc.
2 Telling Risque Jokes, Mother-in-law jokes
Solution: well in advance of the big day, discuss with the bride and groom-to-be the type of humor they want at the wedding reception. As a wedding master of ceremonies you must respect their wishes.
3 Not knowing who the speakers are or mispronouncing their names
Solution: know how to pronounce each speaker's name. If it is unusual, practice until you've mastered it. Know something about each speaker, including their relationship to the happy couple.
4 Making your introductions longer than the speeches
Solution: keep introductions brief. The role of an mc at a wedding reception is to provide the link between the speakers. He or she is not one of the speakers.
5 Leaving guests standing around not knowing what is happening
Solution: well in advance of the wedding reception, prepare a detailed running sheet of what happens when. This should be agreed with the couple. As the wedding mc you have to do your best to keep everyone on schedule and the reception flowing smoothly.
6 Acting as the star turn at the wedding reception
The bride and groom must be the stars of the wedding reception, never the wedding emcee.
Solution: the exact role of the mc should be clearly defined in advance.
7 Believing you can 'wing' it on the night
You can't. Being a good social mixer is not enough.
Solution: being thoroughly prepared will give you the confidence to act natural. Like so much in life, a wedding mc has to put in a lot of work to make the job seem easy.
